I Grew Up Here…
This ugly communist block of flats in the photograph is where I grew up. Karviná 8, northeast Czech Republic. I lived there for almost 22 years. Looking at it now, I completely understand why someone might see rows of these…
#188 The Fun Continues…
Part two of this amazing morning when I got up way before sunrise to chase some astro photography and ended up switching to silhouettes. The stars were slowly disappearing, but the sky wasn’t done yet. For a few minutes there…
#187 I Switched To Silhouettes
I couldn’t sleep last night. I was rolling around in bed like a sausage on a BBQ. Eventually I said enough and got up. Sometimes it’s like that. You just can’t sleep. Maybe this time it was the excitement of…
#186 Trying To Capture The Night Sky
Officially, my holidays start today. Two and a half weeks of total freedom. I can do whatever I want. If I want to slack off the whole time, I can do that. If I want to go hiking, biking, camping…
#185 Lamps
Shot on the Sony 55–210mm kit lens, and still one of my favorite shots from the day. I’m not completely sure why. I think the rain had something to do with it. Everything was wet, the greens looked richer, and…
#184 Three Photos From Struffeltroute’s Hike
There are places where the view you’re looking at is almost entirely man made, yet somehow it feels like nature. I had that feeling standing here… wondering what this place looked like before somebody decided there should be a reservoir…
#183 What Would You Put On This Wall?
Imagine being given a blank wall this size. Paint whatever you want on it. Just make sure it’s something related to the local fishing scene. What would you put there? I honestly have no idea. And I think that’s why…
#182 Maybe Familiarity Is The Enemy Of Curiosity
Maybe Familiarity Is The Enemy Of Curiosity I’ve walked past this place more times than I can remember. And I don’t know what it was that day. Maybe it was the time of day, maybe the light just hit it…
#181 Waffles
It was Saturday and we weren’t doing anything interesting. We were just hanging around the house when my mother-in-law brought over some waffles. These are not your normal waffles. These are waffles that were perfected for over at least 50…
#180 Maybe That’s Why I Enjoyed It So Much
Maybe Some Of The Best Moments Are The Ones When There’s Absolutely Nothing Going Through Your Head Nothing really happened on this ride. I was just riding from one village to another, taking roads I hadn’t been down before. The…
#179 The Morning Turned Gold
I was up early. Normally I would have stayed in bed a bit longer, but for some reason that day I got up and looked out of the window. All I could see was fog rolling in. It happened fast.…
#178 Made It To Monschau
What a hell of a ride… Another 100km. Now find a spot where I can pitch my and chill for the evening. I’ve got a wine with me so I’m gonna dive in it… Monschau is such a beautiful little…
#177 Chemelot Early Morning
There’s something odd about photographing a huge industrial complex at sunrise. Part of me sees smoke stacks and steel. Another part just sees shapes, light and one hell of a sky. It can be beautiful… Depends how you looking at…
#176 Bikepacking Trip To Monschau
I’d been riding all day. 100km… perhaps more that day. I was exhausted by the end of the day. By the time I found this field near Monschau, I didn’t need much anymore… just somewhere to pitch the tent, something…
#175 Cycling To Vaals And Back
Over 100 kilometres on the mountain bike. Hills, backroads, trails, wrong turns, tired legs and a camera in the bag the whole way. I’d do it again tomorrow. I wasn’t planning some heroic 100+ kilometre mission. I just kept riding,…
