Hi, my name is Mitch. I'm a photographer and writer from The Netherlands. I have a monthly newsletter called ‘Dialogue’ about photography, walking and exploration. I also have a YouTube channel, where I share videos about street photography strategies and looks behind the scenes.

2022 In review: one year of monthly newslettering (and some other things)
This is the one-year anniversary of this newsletter going out monthly! I want to use this first anniversary to reflect, but also share some accomplishments, statistics, and ideas for the future. I'll end with some personal notes.
There's only one thing wrong with the Fujiiflm XF10
I bring the XF10 when my other Fujis are too cumbersome (yes, even the X100V can be too much at times), or too dangerous (when going out for drinks abroad, for example). There is, however, a small caveat that I was hoping wouldn’t be an issue but it still sort of is.

Through the mist, I hear you calling
This time, I'd like to take you on a walk through the mist of an early morning, with a pleasant discovery following soon after.
Impostor syndrome, zone focussing and a request for feedback
Somebody taps on my shoulder, which startles me a little. I look up, straight into the eyes of the man that just passed me. Apparently, he turned around. He notices my uneasiness.
