A field trip to the Oosterscheldekering turns into a reflection on solitude, documentation, and the role photography plays in making sense of the world. | Continue reading
The Oosterscheldekering protects the Dutch coast from storm surges while preserving one of the country’s last tidal estuaries. A visit to Neeltje Jans reveals a landscape shaped by compromise, engineering and continuous maintenance. | Continue reading

It took me ten years to write this. After more than 60,000 photographs with the Fujifilm XF35mm f2, this became less of a lens review and more of a reflection on reliability, everyday carry photography, and documenting life over time. | Continue reading
More field trips for more interesting experiences for better stories and more interesting work. | Continue reading
A mega pile of sand is slowly eroding over time to protect the Dutch coastline. And that's interesting for a couple of reasons. | Continue reading
A full-frame, fixed 28mm camera built for speed, simplicity, and intent. No video, no screen, no distractions. Just a tool that stays out of the way and lets you take the shot. | Continue reading

The only place in the Netherlands where the sea is allowed to win. | Continue reading
An unplanned trip to Texel turned into a small field study of a coastline unlike any other. Being there, in the wind and water, brought back my fascination with the ocean and its edges. | Continue reading
The appendix serves two distinct purposes: to situate the framework within a broader body of knowledge, and to provide a compressed operational view of how it is applied. | Continue reading

Understanding the Advance Filter is one thing. Keeping it alive in real situations is another. Closing a loop once is not that difficult, especially now that you have this framework. Keeping your system stable over time is where the real work begins. | Continue reading

Community isn’t something you declare into existence. It forms over time, through shared identity and enough structure to sustain itself. Anything before that is branding. | Continue reading

So far, we've been talking a lot about the way open loops accumulate, how they become an issue, and what you can do to solve those issues. But a large part of tackling those problems is also defined by what you decide to stop doing. | Continue reading

Photographer and writer working on long-term projects, often on foot. I document the world as I move through it, paying attention to what tends to be overlooked. | Continue reading
If you can imagine the final form your work should take, you can determine how much time and effort you should invest right now. Projects should be smaller before they become bigger. Loops should be shorter before they become longer. | Continue reading
Keeping your options open is useful when starting something new. But when you're stuck, it becomes your biggest enemy. Commit, follow through, learn from the outcome, and adjust from there. Repeat this until direction becomes clear. Prefer finished over perfect; that’s where you … | Continue reading

If you’re reading this and you feel stuck, there’s a good chance you already know something important: the problem isn’t that you can’t do the work. It's something much more profound and therefore difficult to spot. | Continue reading

You have ideas. Probably a lot of them. But if they stay in your head, they don’t really mean anything. At some point, it’s on you to turn them into something real. You do that by finishing things, even if they’re rough. That’s how you build proof, figure out what works, and achi … | Continue reading
Before we start, let's make sure that what you're about to read and (hopefully) learn, is in line with your expectations. If you are a creative person with a myriad of ideas that don't seem to fully come to life the way they're supposed to, this framework should help you break th … | Continue reading
I've recently become unemployed, and it's fine. I enjoy it, actually. It took a month-long trip to Mexico to work process it but I think I'm good now. Going for runs and calisthenics workouts multiple times a week is what keeps me | Continue reading
For years I thought I was simply exploring and taking photos. Only later did I realize I was repeating a pattern: go out, collect, return, interpret, publish, repeat. This issue maps the loop that turns wandering into a creative practice. | Continue reading
A look at a country I like a lot, but no longer love. And "it's not you, it's me" I want to tell it, if countries had ears to hear it. Because it really is me and who I am today. But, who knows, another 10 years might do wonders. | Continue reading

Hey man, let's be real: Playa del Carmen is a tourist hub. It's fake in all the good ways (and the bad ones too). If you have no real reason to come here, just don't. It's not worth it. I'm | Continue reading
Oh wonderfully interesting but, apparently, forgettable Mérida. Forgettable for me, specifically, I must say. | Continue reading
Or Punta de Zicatela, more specifically. Because that's definitely the place you want to be right now if you come here. | Continue reading
Just enough to keep us afloat. That's my level of Spanish. At least it was during our first few days in Mexico. Some skills acquired about ten years ago and slowly eroded since, now carefully getting its dust wiped off. | Continue reading
The briefest of entries so far. | Continue reading
I cried tears of joy and relief when we decided to come here. The mere sight on the Pacific Ocean can make me emotional. There's something about the vastness of the water in front of you that's both humbling and liberating. Just the fact that you& | Continue reading
So strange that I have so little memory of my previous visit, some ten year ago, other than not liking the Mole at Mercado 20 de Noviembre as much as I hoped. I think I was wrong. I sincerely hope I was wrong. About the city as well as the mole. | Continue reading
It's day two of our Mexico trip and I already regret some of my choices. But there's nothing I can do about them now. Just gotta learn to make it work. And frankly, this is also kinda by design. | Continue reading
After a ten-year hiatus, it's time to revisit. See how much the country has changed. Or rather, my perspective on it. But mostly, to see if I can find something I am looking for without properly knowing what that would be. A stream of consciousness to record the process. | Continue reading
For you won’t judge me for my honesty. And in it, you may find what’s truly yours. I hope you see me as I intend to. | Continue reading
This month I reflect on clarity, the birth of 33punt, and why integrated creativity isn’t a luxury but a necessity. If you want to know what we’re building, and why it matters, this one’s for you. | Continue reading
Back to Berlin I go. For reasons unknown to me too. But, over the years, despite no apparent goals, a body of work is emerging. And that’s interesting. | Continue reading
