re play
I see people do the most extraordinary things, pure creativity — musical, acting, writing, inventing. Most of it is simply play, pure experimentation. All these people have in common that they followed their passion to such a point that luck, and meeting the right people who granted them the benefit of the doubt, allowed them…

human nature
Human nature is a complex being, appropriate to say that it requires customization to teach ‘this being’ from its core to experience the natural outside world with newfound freedom because in ‘captivity’ this may have been unlearned to get to that core. Could you say that in that inner core there is no universal truth…

trick or treat?
Halloween Secretly, we find ‘scary’ somewhat appealing. You know it doesn’t exist, but still, that kick of fear ripples through your veins, a thrill in itself. © E n i s ∞ r song: Lullaby – The Cure Beneath the mask a shadow creep, the monster smiles, waiting for midnight to awaken things that never…

walk & wander
We walk and wander,on beaten paths or through uncharted ground,always in our minds,seeking meaning in who we wish to become. At times it seemsour spirit drifts far ahead in thought,leaving the body trailing behind in quiet matter. Those who live with awarenesssee along the way more patterns,messages, and subtle signs.The mind stays busy,while the body,…

transition
The thumping sound of rotor blades and the shrieking motor exhaust of a trauma helicopter flying low overhead. Just like everything in life, things can change suddenly. I briefly look up, a shiver runs through me; up there, someone might be fighting for their life. Close to the transition between life and the hereafter, like…

Back in the day
Wise men, they were perfectly happy with it. “Sure, take our picture, you won’t win any prizes anyway.” To me they were like the Three Musketeers, and every passer-by could count on a certain comment, but you wouldn’t have been able to hear it in the noise of shoppers.“Oh, well, back in the day.” ©…

secondhand bookstore
As soon as you step over the threshold and the tinkling doorbell rings, you suddenly enter another dimension. Even the smell is different, vaguely musty like old paper. The atmosphere is quiet and weighty, as if heavy words or biting sentences are hanging in the air, each one vying for your attention. It’s the idea…

spirit
In fractions of a tenth of a second, something passes between my eyes, my mind, and the moment my finger presses the shutter. The most beautiful photos are the ones I took without knowing why — as if a higher power had taken over. © E n i s ∞ r song: Spirit In The…

elevation
Personally, I believe in magic, in creation.Which energy do you tap into?Those who come to terms with the past can move forward again.Then, the flow continues. Never let temporary short-circuiting hold you back;turn it into creativity.What your eyes take in, your hands bring out,always with an open view — the spark toward enlightenment. © E…

Ripple effect
It’s the ripple effect — pure manifestation.A matter of a meditative state of being; for me, that is photography.A mirror of our consciousness.It appears in countless shapes and forms.It is neither here nor now. It is life itself — it is our humanity.The driving force behind our will to exist.We do this together, in respect…

twilight road
I had good conversations on the road where time rushed by in the twilight. Conversations about the role of men in our society, the rising emergence of AI, and the current, restless geopolitics. ‘In my head, I see an image of a man attentively looking into his rear-view mirror. He is shaving, while his electric…

regret
Regret is like pole vaulting. I should have chased you, blown you off your feet, and used all my charm. The bar was set high, and I gave it a good shot, but I slipped under it and landed on the mat. Turns out someone else had just made a higher jump. © E n…
