My last working week. Suddenly my overloaded agenda is empty. Hard lockdown.

I enjoyed today! Together with Mayor Pieter Verhoeve and colleague Jacqueline. With 10 cakes we visit couples who have been married for 60 years. Unfortunately, the big party in the theater could not go on. There are no fewer than 75 60-year anniversaries in Gouda this year. Incredibly much.

I'm so excited to see people dance in the street again like everyone's watching. That I would ever say that... A party that we can live with the virus without restrictions. That I can hold you whether I know you or not. Just because I like you.

For the second time in a row I was chosen for the open call at Fotofestival Schiedam.

... the music. Live music. Spontaneously dancing in the street. I can enjoy it so much! I took this photo a few summers ago in Portugal.

I have something beautiful to celebrate. All the hard work is starting to pay off. The seeds that have been planted from past years come out.

I am a photographer. Duh, I can hear you think. Many do not realize that there is more to it than just taking a picture. I am also a planner. And an administrative assistant, artist, accountant, stylist, communicator, image editor, web designer, copywriter, etc. Everything that is involved in a photographer.

Fortunately, I am writing my blog in good health this week. Touch wood! Because I like to keep it that way.

Lockdown in January .. mm. I am a warm weather person and I miss that the open doors and windows. Fresh air in the house.

The end of the year is near. In addition to the festivities, December also feels that it is a time to look back at what the year has brought. It was a year like no other. Corona of course. But also the silence and fresh air. And Photo festival Schiedam where I was allowed to show a piece of Gouda.
