It was a strange day. They say in Patagonia there can be four seasons in one day. Well, in Gent, Belgium, that seemed to be the case as well. As we took shelter for the rain, I suddenly saw this boat full of umbrellas going down the canal. And when I walked towards it, the […]

Tuesday Travel: Imagine
John Lennon Wall in Prague. A terrific place with music, fans and tourists. Bring a camera when you go there. For instance a Leica M9 with a 50 cron (though the exif tells you it’s a 21mm) Want to know more about how to use your rangefinder camera on your travels? Check out my Leica workshops or […]
Tuesday Travel: Cry baby cry
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.
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 […]

Tuesday Travel: find the shop owner
A very typical shop in the Kowloon area of HongKong. Loaded with stuff that doesn’t seem to have any relation with neither the shop, nor the other things in the shop. Shot with Leica M9 and 35 summicron. Want to know more about how to use your rangefinder camera on your travels? Check out my […]
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 […]
Delft by night
The Noctilux is slowly growing on me. For assignments where I have time to ‘play around’, I bring the Nocti and take some shots with it, after I know I got my shots with the lenses I always work with. And of course when I go out I try to bring it as often as […]
Quicker than AF
Sometimes people ask how on earth I focus my camera with moving subjects. Well, I have trained a lot to get there, but in some situations you don’t need any training at all and will still be faster than the quickest AF-camera in the world. This image was shot on Cuba, while I was having […]
