Soooo Goude!
Enfin! Finally I went to see the huge Jean Paul Goude Retrospective: Goudemalion at Les Arts Décoratifs in Paris. It closes in a few weeks and was still loaded with visitors. It showed an impressive amount of beautifully mounted photos, lots of famous images and some new ones. The only thing missing in my opinion Read article…
Een gelukkig nieuw jaar
A very happy new year to all! For over 30 years my family and I have this ongoing New Years card photo project. Every year we send out black & white photos with our best wishes for the new year, in stead of traditional x-mas cards. It's always very exciting (and sometimes a real struggle) Read article…
460 Kids
One of my side projects for the past 6 years, is the creation of Christmas cards for an elementary school in the Netherlands, together with my father. I don't fully recall how it started in 2005, but we decided to photograph all the children of the entire school and group them per school class. A Read article…
Light & Airy
The Midsummer night celebrations marked the opening of the warmest season with a new slower rhythm. Late nights outside, counting the stars… or sky lanterns!

A Bigger Splash
Recently one of my photos was featured in "A Bigger Splash: Your favourite places to swim – A guide to some of the world's most interesting and exciting swim destinations" by Paul Smith.

The worldwide obesity issue is absolutely no reason to celebrate, but Yahoo found another reason to pop out some confetti: their new Mail Beta. If you need some help creating a confetti celebration, ask Read article…
Do the crayola
The new year will be all about change. Time for some fresh projects, a good dose of coziness (decorating Studio Sapique, maybe adding this stamp rug or these cactus poofs) and most of all real action (inspired by DO lectures). Time to bake the perfect crusty bread thanks to tips&tricks by French chef Richard Bertinet. Read article…
Seven Seas
Have look at these photos of Berlin. Or get down under for the drapery clothing by Morrison. Travel the world like Jen and treat your family on a pizza tour. Don't forget to bring them a lousy T-shirt. And read what Dezeen has to say about pizza (and food) in their Food & Design Report. Read article…
The palm of my hand
Recently I had quite an overdose of palm trees, agaves and cactus plants. Maybe that's why I'm really into this photography series by Mattieu Gafsou. Also these by Hervé Plumet are worth a look. And how fantastic is this?! Did you know that hands can be dangerous? One of the first things I noticed in Read article…
