You know that Beatles song? It’s on the White Album. My favorite album, because it is so beautifully balanced. Anyway, that’s what I thought when I saw this picture again. Shot somewhere close to Siem Reap, Cambodia. Leica M9 with 35 Summicron (although the exif says something else…) You’ve got to love the rendering of […]

Tuesday Travel: into the light
After having spent an entire day in the depressing former Ghetto of Theresienstadt, we were happy to walk into the light again. It’s impossible to imagine what happened here, but the pictures don’t lie. Leica M9 with 28 Elmarit.
Zoom in, zoom out
When I found our neighborhood in foggy circumstances this morning, I thought;”Which lens to take today?” While we, proud rangefinder shooters tend to laugh at zoom lenses – yes, we do – I thought it might be nice to take my 35-70 out for a spin. And so I did. A Leica R35-70/3.5 will set […]
Tuesday Travel: The happy waiters
They say you find the best waiters in France, but the Cuban waiters aren’t the worst either. Of course they expect you to tip properly, but that’s the least thing you can do for the kind people on this interesting island. Leica M9 with 50 summicron Want to know more about how to use your […]

The power of perspective
The 50mm is my favorite focal length. It resembles the way we see the world and it gives me the opportunity to isolate subjects from the background, yet without the disturbing effects of a long telephoto lens. However, I do need other lenses too. My clients expect me to deliver a package of photos that […]
Happy new year to all!
2014 has been a great year for me with lots of interesting workshops, the launch of my ebook and many weddings. Moreover, last year has been the year where I could share some inspiration with my readers and that’s exactly what I want to continue in 2015: more inspiration for photographers and more technique, gear […]
Backlit
It’s funny how the lack of light can make us more creative. Sometimes I hear people complaining about these dark days in december (for the readers on the northern part of the globe). They tell me it’s useless to go outside and take pictures. For me, working with concentrated light from windows, it makes me […]
Work in progress
When I tell people what I do for a living they usually say: “Wow, so you get to see a lot of the world, don’t you?” Well, yes, I do, but I also spend quite a few hours in my office. Not just for post processing, but also for designing and making albums. I’m one […]
