Well, the end of 09. Walking towards something new. We think we know but be surprised in 2010. Just like this non from Eastern Europe who walks in Utrecht.

 On a boat, in a lake, somewhere in Holland. With skies like paintings from long ago

Close to my home stands this statue. I have no idea what it is, but somehow the brutality of the size attracks me, or my dark side...

I thought I had seen poverty in Africa and Asia. But just around the corner, in Eastern Europe, old people are dying of hunger and loneliness. Just a middle short drive.

Gaza is one of the most depressing places I have ever been. More than 1 million people in a small place, stuck, unemployed, helpless and the ordinary people are being overshadowed by extremist or corruption. To little ngo's work here.

Joris Linssen and Caramba is a band that I followed through the years. Making their image with pictures, doing their layout. Great working with them, they let me free.

Streetview in Ethiopia, almost in a Spanish atmosphere.

We do see a lot of violence from Afghanistan. But in the most parts of this country people are trying to build up a living and want to have a peace that lasts longer than the wars they have seen

In August 2001 I went a long time to Central America. This is Guatemala, with it's greenness, indians, religion that's a mix between Catholicism and paganism. It's enchanting.

In Kolkata, India, I went with Compassion.nl to see there projects. India impressed me. It was down on my list but after that week, it's people made India a fast climber

Roman Catholic Holland is clear about who they believe in. South of the big rivers there is more drinking, more living and more religious signposts.

Lissabon, Alfama. A part of the city that makes you want to crawl to let everything in.

Walking around in Jerusalem, orthodox quarter. Different world, different looks.

Besides dead people you find dead cattle in Darfur. Once the pride, transportation and income of farmers, now going to dust. And in the light op Kopenhagen, great...

At five am making pictures of the slaughter of some cows in South Sudan. Let's say it's an eye opener.

Sitting in the car, listening to The National 'About today' and watching the day surrendering itself to the night.

On my back, looking at the fence and the sky, two opposites of eachother. The place is Auswitz, a place where everyone should go.

You're standing somewhere in Sri Lanka, weather is beautiful and than suddenly some cows come out of nowhere, acting like you're just someone there passing by. And they give you the look...

Berlin is trapped between black and white, history and future, progressive and conservative. This photo I take while waiting for a subway to Kreuzberg. Hello and goodbye on the platform.

Mazar e Sharif, city in Northern Afghanistan. Fascinating because it's a different world you enter and what a beautifull one.

This is one in a serie I made for an expo. One word can make a picture scream. And sometimes screaming is the only noise people hear.

foto5: 11//12//09

When I made this picture I knew that this was the one I was waiting for. No purpose for the picture, just a picture for me and my own happiness in making this one. Happiness is easy.

Central Station Utrecht. If you hang out there for just a few minutes, a lot of people come by and you wander what life they have. This girl for instance... what is here image of herself and is she happy or what? Fascinating, Central Station Utrecht...

The bizar thing about the trip I made in Myanmar was the beauty of the land and the kindness of the people. In a country that has one of the most brutal regimes in the world... I felt quilty to be there for work and not for resistance.

Every day a different picture... starting now on 7//12//09
