I go out into my hometown Diemen, the somewhat sleepy suburb of Big City
Amsterdam, I take my camera with me. I try to capture accidental beauty and sometimes
unplanned alienation of the banal aspects of the everyday scenery. I started to
do this from 2004, the year we came to live here, at first in black and white,
from 2006 in color.)
