A Fresh Perspective
Photography is more than just a vehicle for capturing the world around me; it provides me with a palette and a set of brushes, with which I paint not only what I see, but also look to express the emotions that are evoked by the scene in front of me in that moment.
Growing up in the Netherlands exposed me to a wide cross-section of visual arts that laid the foundation of my photographic view of all that surrounds me. Early influences were the Dutch Masters of the 17th century, to whom I was introduced by my grandfather during museum explorations; favorites among them are the scenes of quotidian life depicted by Jan Steen and Frans Hals and the vivid landscapes of Jacob van Ruisdael.
My classical high school education was supplemented by the Boijmans Van Beuningen museum, where I spent many a lunch hour exploring its great collection. Here I was introduced to surrealism with a particular love for the approach taken by Salvador Dali; Dali also rekindled my appreciation for the work of Hieronymus Bosch, who often showed the folly of us mortals.
Universal Connections
My approach to any photographic subject is to look for understanding first; in this I look to establish either a connection between the viewer and the subject or capture the connection of the subject with its surroundings. The captured image then aims to portray this connection from a perspective that is part of my personal interpretation.
This interpretation is often a form of externalized introspection, which may alternately display the connection of isolated beings and items with their environment or highlight the whimsy of the profound world, in which we find ourselves. The universe is full of connections, many of which are waiting to be discovered; part of my journey as a photographer is to document these connections.
Any assignment, be it an event, a product shoot or a portrait session is always approached through communication with the client; this is where the first connection is established. Ideas are exchanged and a collaborative plan of action forms, ultimately resulting in a set of images that aim to exceed the expectations of each client.
And, lest we forget, it is important to have fun while practicing the serious business of photography!

My girlfriend would eat this poem up; she’s a huge Doctor Who fan. Though she would probably argue you still want a TARDIS. Either way, lovely little poem and great use of the prompt!
Thank you! As a longtime Doctor Who fan I couldn’t resist going in this direction 🙂
Great lines, Frank. I’d still want a TARDIS, if only for the noise it makes 🙂
Thank you, Sonya! Yes, the TARDIS is the best sounding travel implement 🙂
A paradigm shift…loving the lines!
Thank you! It just folded itself right in front of me 🙂
So many haiku, so little time? 😉 Can’t wait to see what’s next!
Awesome lines. I think I’d still want a TARDIS, though. It’s a mansion in a little box, even if you ignore the traveling part (which is the coolest bit!).
Thank you kindly! My TARDIS is on order 🙂
I really, really need a TARDIS and I just can’t understand why no one has bought me one before – it keeps going on my Christmas list 🙂 Nicely spun tale 🙂
We all need one. Once I get mine, I’ll stop by 🙂
What we really need is to invent one and make sure we keep the patent, then we’ll make so much money we can all publish books to our hearts’ content and we won’t need to worry about agents or publishers to do it.
Looking forward to seeing your design ready and flying 🙂
I’ll let you know when it’s ready 🙂
I need one! Can I have one?? Please😀
As soon as I get my hands on one, I will bring it over 🙂
OK, Earth , The Solar System, today. See you in 3..2..1😀
Of course, if I get a time machine in my lifetime, I would have dropped it off at my doorstep by now 🙂
Clear and very poignant.
Thank you!
Need to revisit Dr. Who.
Always a great series.
YES, reference to the TARDIS. Any reference to Dr Who is always a win, though I have to admit – I would still never pass up the opportunity if the Doctor showed up on my doorstep :p I like how you created this one 🙂
Thank you! I’m with you, as I’d go anywhere with the Doctor!
I keep hoping that one day he’ll just show up on my doorstep… Come ON universe! 😀
