ABOUT ME

Dutch, 35y old, father of Lasse (6) and Elin (1), living with Sanne (31), living in a quiet neighbourhood in The Hague, minutes cycling away from the beach.

I travelled around the 27 countries of the European Union for a year, 1 Aug 2007-1 Aug 2008, to interview 2700 young Europeans about their daily lives - (http://www.useuropeans.com)

In 2012, spend an entire year photographing the North Sea horizon from my home town The Hague: once at every hour of the year. Compiled a selection into a monumental book publication with was released in Dec 2014 - (http://www.newhorizonsahead.nl)

Now in 2015, thoroughly investigating the art of bringing ideas to life. Applying the insights collected during NEW HORIZONS to my entire life.

PHILOSOPHY

"On ne voit bien qu'avec le coeur - l'essentiel est invisible pour les yeux" (Only with the heart one can see rightly. Whatever is most important is invisible to the eyes)
