So the end of my first half-year of photography school is near. And there are still a bunch of assignments that I haven't finished yet. Below, a series of "Imperfection". A face is supposed to

2011 was a very significant year for me. When reading this question from @photogames (link), my first internal response was "Uh, at work...duh!" (More about that later). But when I opened Google

School... They gave me the impossible assignment to make a series of my street. They told me to involve my neighbors and tell the story of my street. I didn't know what the story of my street was. After

They told me that I had to have a proper photo printer... Sure, I can do that. They didn't tell the amount of work it would take to actually get quality prints out of it! The past few months, I learned

The school assignment was to make an image with a chair in it and make it "special". Defining what makes a photo special is already pretty hard. So I started looking at a ton of photos from people

This photography school is turning into an enormous therapy session. If you scroll through my portfolio, you will learn that most of my photos have a close to zero number of people in them. People would

For photography school, we have so many confusing and challenging assignments that sometimes it is liberating to just walk around without a plan. So a few days ago, I met up with a classmate to just walk

The history of PhotoGames and the 2021 Reboot

One of the assignments at school is to make a self-portrait that would tell something about myself. It may sound easy... and there were times that I would feel confident enough to just snap a picture of

As one of my assignments during my photography studies, we have to play with light... Gosh, never expected to become so obsessed with light. I now have multiple bulb-shaped bottles filled with all sorts

I am a gadget nerd. Now that I started photography school, I am getting the sense that I love adding those gadgets and science into photography. We received a "light" themed assignment. I started

(Source: Pixabay) I didn't want to go fully quiet again. But I didn't have much to share/tell you after returning home from Italy. I hibernated for a month, thought about my future, and made a decision...

Pantheon I made it home. But it was still a big challenge. Days before my flight, my government decided that we needed a negative PCR test to be allowed on the plane. But Rome was in lockdown, so I didn't

Colosseum There, for sure, have been times in my life that I have felt better. But my trip to Rome is coming to an end, so I will soon be back to my comfortable home in Amsterdam where I can figure out

After Venice, I went to Rome. Just because "why not?". I didn't have to be home in Amsterdam yet and could stay away for another month. So I packed my stuff and boarded the train to Rome. Now,

After almost 2 months in Venice, I decided (with pain in my heart) to leave and spend some slow travel time in Rome next. I booked a train ticket and kept a close eye on the ever-changing Covid statuses

I think it was like 2 weeks ago that I was taking the Vaporetto boat back "home" in Venice. When in the distance I saw this interesting sculpture being lid up. I needed to do some serious Googling

I just can't help it. But I like sleeping in and like staying up late. So slowly, I give myself a bit of jetlag. Lucky for me, I enjoy photography at night. But in Venice, that doesn't always work out.

You would think that after being here for a bit, I would not get lost anymore in this city. But I do... Like bigly! The standard routes are a piece of cake now, but whenever I get on unknown territory

Like the rest of Europe, Italy is struggling with Covid. And we all know that tourism is down and travel-business is bad. But a gondola ride is still being advertised for 80 euro for 30 minutes and I thought
