A.D. 2018 #29.



1 of the things I did during this year (& during the last 2 months of 2017) was taking a photo between the two slopes of the freeways A1 and A9, a piece of ground between a motorway junction where only grass is growing. And some wild flowers. Every 2-3 weeks I went to 52.332323 ° North latitude,  5.004553 ° East longitude and stood on the same corner stone. At YouTube https://youtu.be/o3nNk9jIKFE you can watch a test series. In January I am planning to make a “Bijsterboekje” (Bijsterbooklet). Photographs: 52.332323 ° North latitude, 5.004553 ° East longitude, 4/18, 5.37 pm and 52.332323 ° North latitude 5.004553 °, East longitude, 7/27, 11.59 am. AD. 2018 is a selection from photographs I made during 2018.

Sometimes a photograph has a small secret. By watching some time longer, the secret often seems to be solved. Although? After having landed in San Francisco during the afternoon, coming from Amsterdam, I took this picture during the afternoon. Some jetlag…. Photograph: 8/28, 9.37 pm.

Diemen is the Amsterdam suburb where our family lives for quite a few years now. In Diemen one can find the only one level railway crossing in the Amsterdam region. Source of irritation with about twenty trains every hour. But sometimes in the long afternoon light of December a railway crossing is just beautiful. And the photographer is doing some errands and has as always, a camera with him. Photograph: Diemen (NL), 12/13, 3.11 pm. A.D. 2018 is a selection from photographs I made during 2018

My hottest picture ever. 44°C or 111°F. Made in Furnace Creek, California, Death Valley. Wanted the experience of walking at that temperature. Well, if you drink enough it is possible for about an hour. It is also my one of my deepest pictures, about 150 meters below sea level. Photograph: Furnace Creek, California, USA, 9/2, 6.37 pm.
