Projects
Analyze, create and execute.
html and css are my weapons of choice. I can get by with a bit of php and jquery, but I wouldn’t call myself a developer. My focus lies with the visual part of the process. Fortunately WordPress makes my life a lot easier, so that I can create websites with a lot of functionality and that are user friendly.

I have been passionate about photography for many years. I started out doing a lot of concert photography in the underground hardcore scene. After a while I wanted to do more than just shoot bands and kids jumping of a stage. So I started to follow classes and experiment with different types of photography. Capturing the world how it is, showing certain details one might easily overlook, finding new angles to look at certain things, or just creating a different reality, those are just some of the reasons why I love photography. It gives you the freedom to do whatever you want. Your mind is your only limit!
