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.

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
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.
The glorious, life-invigorating act of walking
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'?
How to tell stories online, my way
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.
Monologue
Mexico, a retrospective
A look at a country I like a lot, but no longer love. And "it's not you, it's me" I want to tell it, if countries had ears to hear it. Because it really is me and who I am today. But, who knows, another 10 years might do wonders.
Playa del Carmen (yes, I am sorry)
Hey man, let's be real: Playa del Carmen is a tourist hub. It's fake in all
Mérida, Yucatán
Oh wonderfully interesting but, apparently, forgettable Mérida. Forgettable for me, specifically, I must say.
Puerto Escondido
Or Punta de Zicatela, more specifically. Because that's definitely the place you want to be right now if you come here.
Spanish
Just enough to keep us afloat. That's my level of Spanish. At least it was during our first few days in Mexico. Some skills acquired about ten years ago and slowly eroded since, now carefully getting its dust wiped off.
San Agustinillo and Mazunte
I cried tears of joy and relief when we decided to come here. The mere sight on the Pacific Ocean
Projects
Dialogue (Blauwdruk exhibition)
For my second time participating in the group-exhibition 'Blauwdruk 033' in my hometown, Amersfoort, I wanted to do something special. I'm bringing my monthly newsletter from the digital, to the analog space.
The Efflorescence
A documentary project about Dutch festival and club culture finding its way back to relevance during pandemic times.
Monologue
What started as my daily writing 365 project in 2021 continues in 2026 in a less restricted form. A stream of consciousness that has no other place. Almost like a public diary.
Do You Register?
‘DO YOU REGISTER?’ is a registration of modern day life in its purest form. There’s no editing, no fancy camera movement, no narrative, no beginning, no end. It’s a direct peek into life in the 21st century.
One Two One
A black and white square-format photography project made during the winter of 2020/2021.
Winter Allotment
A small photography project, shot in one afternoon in the waning winter sun. Focussing on the hidden beauties of a communal allotment garden.

Photography in the Age of AI (2025): Lessons From 25 Weeks of Experimentation
Over 25 weeks, I tested whether AI can match the emotion and imperfection of human photography. The results? AI is fast and functional but still sterile. Here’s what this experiment reveals about the future of photography in the age of AI.
My six favorite Fujifilm film simulation recipes
I think we can all agree that Fujifilm's film simulations are amazing. That's why I have created six film simulation recipes that have been living on both my Fujifilm X100V and X-Pro3 for the better part of a year now.
Could a simple tap help ease anxiety? This app idea says yes
I haven't made an app. I'm pitching the idea of an app. One that doesn't exist currently (to my knowledge) but could exist. Using the iPhone's Back Tap functionality to alleviate and 'track' anxiety
The last Fujifilm X100V film simulation recipe you will ever need
I use my CC recipe about 80 percent of the time. Maybe even 90 percent. That film sim can, in my opinion, be used for everything.
Fujifilm X100V sample images for new buyers
I can imagine people going through similar phases as I have when looking for a camera like the X100V. Hopefully, my experience and work with it can provide some perspective for new buyers.
Why I am walking, an introduction
First presented in the form of a video, this essay captures my state of mind at the start of 2022 and explains the motivations behind my decision to ditch freelance photography and start going on long photo-walks instead.
