I Do It for Myself
For years, Alexander has been a familiar figure along the verges of busy highways, often acknowledged by the honking of passing drivers.

Most names dissolve into the mist of memory, but every once in a while, someone comes along who quietly, effortlessly, steals a piece of your heart.…

once in a lifetime
“So, you want to see real life, huh?”I nodded silently, hoping it wasn’t obvious that my legs were trembling.“Alright, you can photograph me,” the man snorted. “But if I find these photos in some magazine, I’ll know where to find you.” He clenched his fists. “Then I’ll smash you to the ground.

Back in the day

punk never dies
There is no shame in being left out, being different or not wanting to follow the crowd. It is heroic to go against the flow or stand up for your own opinion. It is neither left nor right, it is from your heart, deep inside! Punk never dies! © E n i s ∞ r

closer than you think
There are still goddesses here on earth, beautiful and powerful in voice that it seems that this humble mortal photographer does not dare to get too ‘close’ afraid losing a heart.

Echo
It is sometimes incomprehensible how the Second World War has left its mark on our collective. Even now, the ‘karmic wounds’ continue to affect future generations. A ‘private’ looks dreamily ahead, in the background the bunkers of the North Atlantic Wall. © Enisoor

street Parrot
I often encounter them on the street; Paul with his parrot. Each time I never got around to taking their picture. Like good wine, sometimes you will have to be patient until the wine is ready to drink.Today it was finally time to ‘fill that glass’. Anyway, the beautiful parrot did its best to attract…
