About

Born in 1986. Quite often improvising, being a chronic starter, while giving care to people as a profession. Always looking for ways to improve — either myself or things around me. This place on the internet serves the purpose of displaying a bit of my work and profile — away from tech giants thirsty for personal data.

Photography

Having picked up an analogue camera already when I was younger, I enjoy taking photographs ever since. Although the intensity of working on it varies, there is often a camera nearby. To capture sudden moments, delicate compositions, breathtaking landscapes and rough edges. It made me look different at the world around me and the people in it. My purpose is to keep shifting that view.

De Grens

When my brother passed away unexpectedly, I decided to start the podcast series ‘De Grens’. Meaning ‘The Border’, ‘The Limit’, ‘The Boundary’, it covers a lot of aspects involved with this moment and my brother. I’ve recorded several interviews in an attempt to capture some thoughts and memories that would otherwise probably be gone forever. At the moment of this writing, the series still continues. You can get it via almost all the podcast apps (I recommend Pocket Casts).
