Amsterdam Sloterdijk: glass, grid, and quiet lines

Amsterdam Sloterdijk opens in soft grey light, the kind that reveals structure and hides distraction. I walked the edges of the station and the new towers, looking for frames that let lines set the tempo. Steel, glass and concrete answered with r...

Stacked Facets Under a Gray Sky

Soft rain left Amsterdam Sloterdijk quiet. The sky became one broad softbox above the rail tracks. Teleport Towers sat in even light and clean shadow. Brick steps rose in warm grades and met panes of black glass. I walked the courtyard and mapp...

Air and Splash: Amsterdam Canal Backflip

Amsterdam in summer turns the water into a stage. A deck. A shout. A jump. Black and white strips the scene to movement and light. Each frame becomes a beat in a short story about air and splash. Shot on the Canon EOS R5 Mark II in bright ove...

Vertical Sloterdijk: Living in a Vertical Garden

In Sloterdijk Amsterdam this tower stacks homes like terraces in the sky. Concrete edges trace clean lines while wood panels and plants soften the frame. From street level it feels calm and lived in. Not a show object but a place people actually...

From folder to gallery in one flow

In my last posts I shared how a small set of scripts grew into a working photo pipeline for renaming, resizing, watermarking, metadata and upload. Since then the system crossed a line for me. It now matches how I actually shoot and publish. Toda...

Peacock on Buddleia: Macro Moments in the Garden

Macro is about the moments that slip past when you blink. The garden is quiet and the buddleia carries a soft perfume. A European Peacock lands and opens its wings and the whole shrub seems to hold its breath. I slow down and let the light do th...

Amstel Reflections: Night Along the Amstel

Along the Amstel, the city leans into the water and comes alive after dark. Streetlamps line the quay like pearls on a thread, their reflections stretching across the canal. The old facades glow in warm tones, each window a small stage of light a...

Stone and Sky: Valley by MVRDV in Amsterdam

It looks like it shouldn’t work. Too many angles, too much chaos, too far from symmetry. And yet it does. Perfectly. I selected a black and white version for the main image. Without color, the form takes over. Glass turns quiet. Stone tak...

Electric Stillness: Reading Power Station at Night

Along the Tel Aviv coastline, where the Yarkon River touches the edge of the city, the Reading Power Station stands like a monument of function. At night, it becomes something else entirely. A sculpture of light, symmetry, and reflection. ...

Geometry and Stillness on King George Street

Geometry speaks in silence. On King George Street in Tel Aviv‑Jaffa, modern lines rise with quiet strength. This structure stands firm where the city has known both routine and unrest. Its clean angles and bold planes reflect a city that endur...

Shadows and Structure in Zuidas

Some buildings challenge you to look twice. Others, like this one in Amsterdam’s Zuidas, don’t ask, they command it. There’s something about its surface, all glass and angle, that turns light into motion and symmetry into drama. Seen in bl...

Framed by Nature: A Moment in Arches National Park

There are views that make you pause, and then there are scenes that do the pausing for you. This shot was taken in Arches National Park, just outside Moab, Utah. The park is known for its dramatic rock formations and vast desert skies, but what I ...

Ayalon Nights: Tel Aviv in Motion

There’s something about night photography that gets under my skin—in the best way. Maybe it’s the quiet, the honesty of it all. The city strips off its daytime mask and shows you who it really is. No filters, no distractions just raw light, s...
