Background about r00sj3, and a collection of travel blogs

Everybody loves Porto.... And I had never been there. Maybe because of my terrible experience in Lisbon. Or maybe because I was not looking forward to all the climbing I had to do in that city. But stuff

My phone bleeps..."Are you going to Antarctica?" It was a message from this one friend that I speak to maybe twice a year, but she always thinks I am aware of everything going on in her world

I know, it's been a while. But the fact that I haven't been updating my blog, doesn't mean I stopped travelling. The short story why I was gone: I wasn't feeling too good. The short story why I am now

"Bring extra clothes, it's going to be cold in Prague"... My mom is addicted to keeping track of the weather which makes it easy for me to not pay attention at all. So after reading that text,

You may be aware that I love to travel by train. Preferably long-distance trains with a private cabin to sleep in. I did a bit of that by taking the Amtrak from SF to NYC and "more recently"

The lake at Montreux, right when the rain started again It's been a while. Not only since I last blogged, but also since I last did some photography. My mental struggles have an effect on a lot of things,

One of the very few photos I took last year Is there such a thing as a photographer's version of writer's block? Would that be a photographer's block? What causes it? And more importantly: what is the

My teacher told us that architectural photography isn't her thing. But it was part of the curriculum anyway. So made the risky move of picking the "Architectural photography" assignment this

From my bed Hi guys! It's been a while! I thought it was time for a bit of an update. And I have been thinking this for a few months now. Hope you don't mind that it took a while... Anyway. I managed to

I just had the most amazing experience possible during covid times! For one of my school assignments, I started looking for accommodations in buildings that are part of the Dutch Water Line. This is an

There have been multiple moments in the last few weeks that I wanted to quit. I wasn't creative enough. I didn't have good ideas. I felt that the teacher was speaking a different language and I really

Okay, I may be a little late for Halloween. But I did something so cool, I wanted to show you anyway. This school thing. Next to the assignments, we are required to create 6 series of our choice. You'd

Time for something else... After just focussing on black and white photography for school, I was longing for a bit of color and something less conceptual. I joined a workshop from Martin Podt last weekend

She dominated the field with her beauty. For one of my assignments, I will have to create a series of works around a somewhat abstract theme that I picked myself. The theme that I picked? "Soul"

"Find an event that is newsworthy, and create 1 'publishable' photo and 1 'creative' photo" It is a pretty rare assignment in school. For once, it is not about emotions... But only about making

For the assignment "Sequences": Turning water into wine. #tldr Photography school is hard. But I chose it for a reason. Now I am noticing changes in how I perceive photography and there is no

So yesterday was a big day for photography school. It was the evaluation of my first half year. My best series were on display for a committee and the final decision was to promote me to the next class

While I am at it... Why not share with you another small series that I created as school-assignment? This time it is one showing life as an anosmic (a person that has no sense of smell). Without being

It's time for showing another series.... I call it Autopilot. You know those moments when you got home without really paying attention along the way? The daily commute is a very typical situation where
