Welcome!

Since 2002 I am trying to visualise my fascination in nature by means of photography. Recording the beauty of creation itself has become a true passion for me. Through the photographs on this site I intend to share a small part of my admiration for all beautiful things in nature. I hope that you on your computer will experience the same amount of pleasure looking at the photographs as I have had in making them!

In 1999 I started taking photos as a hobby, something that has had my interest for quite some time, but never had been put into practice. A used SLR camera with lens was obtained and at first almost everything was recorded on film. By reading a lot and joining a photo club, the required basic knowledge was gained.  Gradually I found that taking pictures of subjects in nature had my preference. Love and respect for nature is something that especially my father taught me from my childhood onwards. Nature photography has matured to something more than a hobby. Perhaps that 'passion' is a better description.

Close-up photography is a particular field of interest to me. Even the smallest things, which we tend to overlook or even realize they exist, prove the perfection of creation in the most detailed level. 

Although most people who know me, would probably not classifiy me as being (emotional) expressive, photography for me is purely a matter of expressing emotions. Naturaly, a photo needs to technically perfect. But  for me this is not the goal but a means. The real goal is to take a photo that is touching and that lingers in people's thoughts. A photo that visualises and transfers my amazement in the beauty of nature to others.

This is however easier said than done. On this site you will find an overview of images in different categories. This site is meant for you and I am therefore curious what your opinion is. Questions, response and suggestions are more than welcome either in the guestbook or by e-mail.
