Putstraat in Sittard getting ready for carnaval.

As a kid, January was my favourite month of the year because of the snow we used to get in Karviná — deep, heavy powder that made every day feel like pure fun. Build bunkers. Build snowmen. Build slides and…

Morning shot from Sanderbout, Sittard A bridge crossing over the railway tracks.

The sky is on fire, but everything else is still. Empty paths. Light reflecting off the windows. People already at work. Already deep into their 9–5s. And I’m here… Grateful for this moment. Grateful that I’m able to stand here,…

Am I really seeing what’s in front of me? I ask myself that a lot when I’m out with the camera.Not just looking — actually seeing. Photography slows me down. Forces me to stop and notice what’s right there. This…

“Light is the key. Orson Welles said it. Light is the key.”— James Nachtwey And there you have it. From the master himself. Light really is the key to any photograph… but not all light is equal. I just love…

I’ve found riding MTB to be one of the best wake-me-up exercises there is. I hate going to the gym. Never liked the atmosphere. Always felt like I was missing something big… and yeah — fresh air. You just can’t…

The Beskydy Mountains should be a top priority if you ever visit the Czech Republic. Most people go to Prague, Český Krumlov… maybe Brno.Very few make it to the northeast corner of the country — and that’s a shame. Up…

Out mountain biking in Geleen. Perfect time to hit the trails. I’ve been neglecting it for a while, so it felt good to finally grab the bike and go for a ride.
