#119 A Little Moment…

The moment I surprised my kids by sneaking behind the car, popping my head up, and snapping this quick shot. One of those simple little moments you’re glad you caught.

Sometimes all it takes to recharge is a quick walk. This time it was on the Kollenberg in Sittard. Beautiful morning, with the sun lighting up the trees…just a perfect moment to wander around and clear the head.

Happy New Year to all of you. I hope you had a good year — and that this one brings the things you care about, the things you want to do, and the things you’ve been putting off for way too long. So that by…

A quick shot of Jeremy testing some fireworks before the night. I’m not a big fan of New Year’s. I don’t like the expectations. Every year gets marketed like it’s going to be the most magical night ever… and then it’s the same cold, crowded,…

I think this might be my favourite shot of St. Peter’s Church in Sittard. Took it completely randomly on my way home… nothing planned… just found out about this little side street, saw the moment, raised the camera, and pressed the shutter. Later I turned…

Kollenberg, Sittard. Nine images stitched together to make this panorama. What’s funny is… I wasn’t even planning to go there. Didn’t expect anything. Just ended up on the hill and thought, “Alright, let’s see what’s here.” And then this happened. One of those rare moments…

The year is almost over… last days of 2025. And honestly? What an awesome year. Discovered. Explored. Learned a ton. For the first time, I feel fully in sync with my workflow — from shooting, to unloading, importing into Lightroom, and posting here. It finally…

Here’s a classic communist block of flats — the place where I grew up. Where I learned to ride a bike… where I first ice-skated… where I spent whole summers inline skating up and down this side streets. It’s a quiet urban street in Karviná,…

This shot is from Bukovec, Mosty u Jablunkova. Heavy snow… actually, super heavy snow. It came down all day — nonstop. But once we made it to the hut, the reward was worth every step. Czech beer and a bowl of garlic soup. Perfect way to end…

Merry Christmas everyone… This is a shot from one of the viewpoints halfway up the trail to Skalka. Steep climb… SUPER cold air… and legs burning… but views like this make every step worth it.

Hiking to Skalka… It’s an easy hike — until it isn’t. I’ve done it plenty of times, and every time I forget how steep that first part actually is. You start walking thinking, “Yeah, this will be chill,” and after ten minutes you’re out of…

Over the next few days — over Christmas — I’m going to share a few photos from the Czech Republic. While visiting my family, catching up with old friends, and walking through the places I grew up in, I took a couple of shots worth…

Snow. And lots of it. Winter is in full swing in the Czech Republic. This was taken in the mountains up north… just a short hike from the Polish border. A quiet, beautiful day.

There’s a line I read the other night that sucker-punched me right in the gut. It said: “How can I make sure I squeeze everything out of life instead of having life squeeze everything out of me?” Boom. Read that again. That one question stopped…

I was testing long exposures near the Sittard-Geleen hospital — trying to catch those streaks of light from cars flying past. I wasn’t using any filters. No fancy gear. Just a tripod and a bit of patience. And as I stood there, watching headlights carve…

Stadspark, Sittard. Sunrise. Panorama made with a Sigma Art 19mm — 9 shots stitched together. One of those mornings that makes you forget everything else. The kind that reminds me why I always carry a camera. You never know when the world’s about to put…

One of those morning that take your breath away. Taken in Limbright at sunrise.

Something hit me recently. I read this line: “All the shit we collect throughout our lives means nothing. We come with nothing. We leave with nothing. The shit you buy will get sold, given away, or scrapped. It makes more sense to take that money…

This shot wasn’t planned. I was walking home — tired, head full of noise — when the sky just EXPLODED. Everything around me was dead silent. The water didn’t move. No people. No traffic. Just me and a sky that looked like it was on…

This one’s special. My 100th shot upload. And it’s Monday! So… here I was… no crowd. Just me, a headlamp, and about 10 km of pure hiking trail ahead. I needed it to unwind. I needed to get lost in nature. Each shot is a…
