How to tell stories online

For years I thought I was simply exploring and taking photos. Only later did I realize I was repeating a pattern: go out, collect, return, interpret, publish, repeat. This issue maps the loop that turns wandering into a creative practice.
Monologues are back
→
The briefest of entries so far.
Closing loops
→
For you won’t judge me for my honesty. And in it, you may find what’s truly yours. I hope you see me as I intend to.
How clear is your vision?
→
This month I reflect on clarity, the birth of 33punt, and why integrated creativity isn’t a luxury but a necessity. If you want to know what we’re building, and why it matters, this one’s for you.
It takes years, and that’s fine
→
Back to Berlin I go. For reasons unknown to me too. But, over the years, despite no apparent goals, a body of work is emerging. And that’s interesting.
Covering L'Estartit, an intermezzo

Learning more about my current project by doing a different project in between.
Newer Topographics

Why take it upon myself to dedicate my time and energy towards a goal that isn’t even clearly visible from the beginning. Will it matter if I don’t? What do I contribute, do I want to contribute? Why? To what? Again, why?
Studio update, cats, sharing your work & organization

We're back to work with rediscovered vigor and, hopefully, new-found focus.
Soul searching in Greece (again)
→
Tears of relief as I'm waist-deep in the ocean, trying to see if I can dance still. I can, I think, I CAN, I scream. So that's how we make our way over the island. Curious to learn, relieved the fire still burns.
Building a daylight studio

This one is for my Amersfoort folks. It goes Tjommies, OostWest 1, OostWest City, Van Zanten, OostWest, Van Zanten, OW, VZ, OW, VZ, Tjommies, OW, VZ, OW, VZ, OW, VZ
Wandering with wonder
→
Four cities, thousands of images, endless new impressions, one additional newsletter. April, 2025, was a rich, full month that allowed me to tap into my wanderlust as well as organize my thoughts a little.
A weekend in Antwerp
→
Surely a city with many flaws, but none that I personally witnessed and/or impacted me during this trip. This city treated me well.
Capturing a writing camp: my friends make music, I take photos
→
The second edition of my Doe Gewoon writing camp photo essays. Is this going to be a series?
And the camera was there... 2025

A project started in 2021, continues in 2025.
I'm photographing to remember
→
A peek through my archive allows me to remember what a year it has been, again. It's easy to forget the details when you don't document them. Thankfully I do. This is my 2024 in review, using the b-side images that I never shared before.
When life gets ahead of you
→
It hasn’t been easy, but I refuse to complain. Please don’t take my writing as such. I’m just observing, recording, venting—trying to make sense of it all. And the result, so far? I'm bursting with energy, sometimes.
Ten years of photography and counting
→
Life was much simpler back then.
Conversion and parallels
→
