Photography

Photography is a passion of mine. I started out with an old nikomat 35mm way back in the days and graduated to an n90s. I worked as a product photographer taking photos of motherboards, doing shoots for parties and import models. Soon after, I got one of the first digital cameras, an Agfa ePhoto 1280. The form factor sucked, the resolution sucked, and the smart memory was crazy expensive. Still, I was hooked. Today, I shoot with an Olympus EM-10 Mark III. Come join me for a day of shooting!

I amsterdam

My recent adventures took me through Amsterdam, Austria, and Germany, but it was Amsterdam where things got interesting. Somewhere in the midst of wandering the city, I lost my camera—the one thing I couldn’t imagine traveling without. As luck would have it, I found myself in a coffee shop full of stoners, and when they heard about my loss, they dropped everything. In true Amsterdam spirit, they rallied together, formed a search party, and spread out across the streets to help find my baby.

Thirty minutes later, they came back—camera in hand—and just like that, I had a bunch of new friends. I thanked them the only way that felt right: buying everyone a round of weed. And with that, we cemented what I can only describe as a lifelong, if slightly hazy, friendship.

The sound of music

Austria sits on the southern border of Germany between Switzerland and Hungary.

One of the most famous movies of all time, The Sound of Music, was filmed there. During our travels, we visited the cemetery where Rolf and his nazi goons were chasing the Von Trapp family, the Gazebo where Rolf and Louisa danced under the moonlight, and the castle in Salzberg where the Von Trapp family lived.

To the right, horse head and no face performed a song in a courtyard.

Japan

Japan was more than a destination—it felt like a journey into a world where simplicity and precision coexist in harmony. The kindness of the people, whether genuine or cultural politeness, created a warmth that resonated with me deeply. And the sense of safety—where children navigate bustling city trains alone—was a testament to the trust ingrained in their society.

What struck me most were the quiet, thoughtful aesthetics that are woven into everyday life. From the minimalist beauty of a tea ceremony to the serene architecture of temples, Japan celebrates simplicity in a way that felt calming, even inspiring. It’s a country of contrasts, where high-tech innovation meets ancient traditions, and each moment felt like an invitation to slow down, observe, and appreciate the details.

Even the quirks—like the near-total absence of public trash cans—felt like part of the mystery that makes Japan so fascinating. It’s a place that stays with you long after you leave, offering lessons in how beauty, simplicity, and respect for tradition can shape the everyday.

Urban Photography

I often find myself drawn to urban photography—it’s like capturing fleeting glimpses of people’s inner worlds. Whether they’re rushing to work, shopping for groceries, or pausing for a smoke break, I can’t help but wonder: What’s going through their minds? What drives them, shapes their choices, or pulls them in different directions?

Every candid shot feels like a tiny piece of someone’s story, and I’m endlessly fascinated by those unscripted moments.
