biography

Since I received my first camera when I was a teenager I amused myself on holidays with snapshots of landscapes and plants. Photography did not get much attention, partly because my job in the medical field kept me fairly busy. But after some time I became more interested and I started following courses.

After my retirement I had more opportunity and photography took hold of me. I discovered its creative possibilities. It has become an enriching adventure in which again and again a new aspect of this world presents itself to me.
I became a member of the Natuurfotografengilde (https://www.natuurfotografengilde.nl), which is focused on nature photography.

My journey will continue and I am looking forward to more.
