Photos made around first light, when the day is still quiet and everything feels fresh.
What you see in this photograph is nothing extraordinary, just a random street in Sittard. Yet under certain conditions, you get this beautiful light coming through, reflecting off the windows and giving the street a totally different vibe. Just as…
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…
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…
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…

Sunrise on the Kollenberg.
I don’t really remember where I took this photo. All I remember is the silhouette… and that soft, orange morning glow. Sometimes that’s all that sticks. Not the place. Not the details. Just the feeling.
Great morning mountain bike ride around the Maas river. And perfect Sunday morning. Paradise for taking photos… the fog difused the light perfectly. Everything looked like I was in a movie.
Early morning just outside of Limbricht. I took this photo to remember how good the morning felt. One of those you know you’ll want to come back to later. I rode my mountain bike into the nearby woods, set up…
