Starting a new photo project
I have started a new photo project and each time I've told people so far, they've looked at me questioningly. I get that, but I don't think I'm crazy. Hear me out.

Inside the beautifully chaotic mind of ReinCarnatie
'Hey, so what if I just made a painting right here on the spot so you can see what materials I use, what my process is, and I just talk you through it a little bit?' Rein casually mentions while he pours me a coffee. I look up at him: 'That's exactly what I would love you to do right now', I reply.

It's all out there, right now
A good beach has white sand, they tell you. Preferably as finely grained as possible. Like a powder that's sprinkled on the edges of the land. The frosting on the cake, if you will.

Thailand's culture of kindness saved us
Even after years of travel experience, we still had to appeal to the world-famous kindness of the Thai people to be saved from, what could be, a scary situation.

How I learned to embrace my quirks
When I turned sixteen, instead of getting my driver's license for a scooter (which was still as simple as taking a 1-hour theoretical test and paying 40 euros at the door), I bought my first computer for about 500 euros. It almost bankrupted me.

Please take ownership of your work. Nobody else will
It's been about four weeks now. Two hours per day, on average. Loading in the image previews, looking at the contents of the images, and titling everything based on the location they are shot in or the people pictured. Sometimes both. It's an endless stream.

Walking the Grebbeliniepad
The Grebbe Line (Dutch: Grebbelinie) was part of the Dutch Waterline—a defensive system that used intentional flooding to hold back invaders. It stretched from the Grebbeberg near Rhenen all the way north to the IJsselmeer. It's a 91KM walk that took me two years to complete.

When I first landed on Craig Mod's website and read he describes himself as a 'writer, photographer, and walker,' I was a little confused. What the hell does it mean to 'be a walker'?

Pseudo-camping and a semi-big walk
My ears are still ringing from the festival when I open my eyes again in the same tent but in a different location. This time though, I can actually enjoy the silence and fresh air.

An improved approach to YouTube (email-subscriber preview)
Making videos, and YouTube more specifically, hasn't been easy for me. I sometimes go months without making a new video. But I think I found a way around this.
