This is a gallery for my photos, and a place to share some of the interests and obsessions that lurk behind them. Some series, like those that explore the megaliths, are part of ongoing documentary projects. Others follow themes that captivate me, or capture random encounters.

Beschrijvingen van de slide shows zijn alleen in het Engels.After an update and restructuring in December 2011, most former links no longer work. Please use the new navigation menu.

Photography
As a photographer, I'm interested in natural form and texture, and in various qualities of light, shadow and reflection - in short, anything that transforms the things we see to reveal things we don't see. I'm also intrigued by the spirit and atmospheric aspect of places I've visited, and especially the megaliths and old stone sites of Europe.
Most photos are arranged in slideshows under the Photography menu. Others are displayed on the Prints pages. The Megaliths series appear under their own menu heading, along with a highlights slideshow.

Megalith, Ruin, Memory

Scientific archaeology paints a more sober and realistic picture of their origin and significance, but somehow that hasn't dimmed the magic that still surrounds them.
