For the last 10 years, I’m photographing daily mornings as the main part of my documentary project “Mornin’ “
I’m using only a mobile phone, starting with my iPhone 2 (the first one with a decent photo camera).
I’ve struggled with depression at that time and as a photographer, I couldn’t do anything. I was paralyzed on so many layers. One day I realise that my days going on autopilot, quite scary if u don’t remember the route u took to work, etc.
Photographing with the smartphone which I always had with me was my therapy. The idea was to take just one picture in the morning. So I start looking around while on my bike. And even if it sounds pathetic to you I realize how beautiful (and imperfect) the world around me is.
I start posting it on social media – Instagram- and still doing it –

Mindful living and creating.

Morning walk in Zuiderpark which i s rarely on my way way. U can feel and smell spring in the air. And the sun. oh!
Spring this year arrives later than last years. Maybe after a year when people had to slow down, mother nature is taking a long breath. Maybe. Two weeks ago i had a long walk in one of the magical parks in the city. They called it forrest. I was hunting fresh herbs but not succeeded. Instead of lots of forms, shapes catches my eyes. Surreal forms in the shadows.
First such a snow in Lowlands in 10 years. I truly was missing it. Sunday morning walk in snow storm condition – 15km and breathtaking moments of snow fall. To the beach and back. Full of endorphins. Yea-yeah i know cliché.
