Last summer I was sitting at the swimming pool to keep an eye on my kids when I spotted these two teenagers. The girl was about 15 years old and she obviously had grown real fast lately. Her arms and legs were long and skinny and she was having trouble to figure out what to [...]

Ten to One
Ten friends having a meal on ten consecutive days in field in the Dutch countryside. Each day the friends, the tables and the food were shifted closer to the horizon. The photographs of the ten meals were assembled into a single image of a large party. Each friend appears ten times in the photograph, each [...]

After the Fall
Close to where I live you can find the exact copy of this photo, a wood of deserted aerial devices in the middle of nowhere. It always triggers my imagination so when I saw this photo it immediately made me curious about the story behind it.
The photo belongs to the series ‘After the Fall’ by [...]

The storm
“Sometimes fate is like a small sandstorm that keeps changing directions. You change direction but the sandstorm chases you. You turn again, but the storm adjusts. Over and over you play this out, like some ominous dance with death just before dawn. Why? Because this storm isn’t something that blew in from far away, something [...]

Way back in 1949, LIFE photographer Gjon Mili visited Picasso. He showed him some of his photographs of light patterns formed by a skater’s leaps, obtained by fixing tiny lights on the points of the skates and, inspired, the two created these photographs of Picasso ‘drawing’ with a small flashlight in a dark room.

Nostalgia
They say that just before you enter heaven you’ll see your life pass before your eyes. Usually imagined as a fast-forward flip book of sentimental still images: birth, parents, school, holiday, first girlfriend, first sex, job, wife, kids, etc. and all the little things in between, summating a totality of meagre existence in a split [...]

And it’s all happening in a virtual world.
I never expected to find myself chatting with complete [...]

Haute Nature – Haute Couture
American photographer Phyllis Galembo has an obsessive love for attires and garments which people from different parts of Africa are wearing during religious and profane celebrations and rites. Her images are disconcerting. The photographer abstains from every form of décor or stylization, thus drawing the spectator’s eye directly towards the ‘living statues’. The natural extravagance [...]

Do you think you stand out from the crowd?
When I was in high school there was this group of kids whom I considered to be really cool and I desperately wanted to join this group. So I asked my parents for the same (expensive) sneakers they wore convinced that would do the trick. My mum then bought me the cheap fakes, which off [...]
Lost-Persons
I once met someone who collected old family portraits because he felt sorry for the people in it. He thought that they would be very sad knowing they ended up in a garbage can because nobody cared anymore, so he made it his task to save them.
It was a wonderful story and the same feeling [...]
