A traveling carnival trailer captured in stark monochrome, featuring a dramatic jungle-themed mural with a lone archer poised in mid-aim. The interplay of shadows and artificial ornamentation evokes a surreal tension between spectacle and silence.

I remember stopping for this one because of the colors first. That yellow and blue wall felt electric, cutting through the noise of downtown. Then I noticed the man sitting there, calm and steady, one leg gone but his presence grounded. It felt like a portrait of resilience more than anything else, a quiet strength in the middle of New York City.

Morveth was born in a time when the first humans didn’t yet know words. He endured in fractures of perception, beyond the rhythm of history. He is not a nightmare. He appears when something cracks in the structure of the world...
...I met him by chance. I looked into his eyes… and I knew nothing would ever be the same. There was only one thing I could do. Ask him that question...

Fragment of a larger whole

During a morning walk to the nature reserve Natuurpark Oranjezon we passed a row of pastel-colored beach houses. I was just about to photograph them when two people strolled by, followed by a young boy, head down, slowly kicking his ball forward with an air of boredom. That was the moment I pressed the shutter.

The scene struck me as a double contrast: the boy’s mood against the lively, cheerful backdrop, and the pale sand blending with his hair against the colorful beach houses framed by dark dunes. It’s a reminder that sometimes life feels gray, even when surrounded by color.

Although this wasn’t shot in a city, it still belongs to street photography. The genre isn’t limited to actual streets — it’s about candid, unposed human moments unfolding in their natural environment. Whether in a square, a metro station, or here on the beach, the essence of street photography lies in observing and capturing the fleeting stories of everyday life.

Taken with my Canon 5D Mark IV and Sigma 100–400mm.

Zoutelande Through My Lens — Stories in Stillness

Photography is often about more than light and focus — it’s about perspective, emotion, and timing. These four images, taken with my Canon 5D Mark III and Sigma 100–400mm lens, represent a quiet but powerful narrative from last Sunday in Zoutelande.

📸 Image 1: My wife walking away between the wave breakers, avoiding the deeper water where I stood. A moment of everyday humor and love — where practicality meets poetry in motion.

📸 Image 2: A young girl standing alone on a small, sandy island surrounded by water. She gazes out toward the ocean, her solitude and wonder mirroring our own curiosity about the world beyond.

📸 Image 3: Here, lines take over the story — the towering dunes on one side, the endless sea on the other, and a wooden walkway that leads the eye straight to the horizon. Composition meets contemplation.

📸 Image 4: A solitary blue beach cabin, perfectly framed by sand and dune. It stands quiet and grounded — a symbol of stillness amidst the natural elements.

Each photo is a reminder that beauty lies in how we see things — and sometimes, in the space between what is and what could be.
