Last year I sold all the film cameras I owned. I hardly used them. They didn’t bring anything different to the table, apart from that ‘’esthetique.’’And moreover shooting analog didn’t fit into my workflow in any way. So how big of a moron am I to buy another one?

Severant is a band right up my alley with spacy jams, hard riffs and immaculate musicianship. Somewhere in April I had an interview planned with Loet, the guitarist, and he invited me to sit in with them. I didn’t hesitate and jumped at the opportunity.
The battery on a hi powered RC Cars lasts about 20 minutes. These little buggies act like magnets as they whirl through the air and kick up dust in the corners on the local dirt track. You can’t help yourself to just admire the little machines piloted from afar. The men genuinely enjoy the small thrills and tinkering with these ‘’boy toys.‘’ Not one time did I catch a wistful smile on their faces.

A small plunge into the local skate scene in Eindhoven.
Sometimes you stumble into a story.
Thursday Night I saw these cool cats hanging out in front of Het Klokgebouw. You can tell directly from the long hair that these dudes are in a band, Vitamin B12. So I asked them if I could make a couple portraits. They were kind enough to agree.
Loud guitars were my first love....girls and photography came very much later. From my teens until my early twenties I breathed guitars. Anything and everything went into this ''obsession.'' All my savings, spare time and my ambitions all were tied to, you guest it, guitars.

Street Photography is overrated. Yeah. That sums it up. So to all the fanboys and purists out there; this is easily the shittiest introduction I’ve written in a while. At least we can agree on that.

Me and the guys huddle up in my crib and turn it into a recording studio for the weekend. While I had my hands free I grabbed my camera and took a few snaps, that’s all. Enjoy and have a listen!

The second & final instalment where I tip my toes into flash photography. Through trial and error I embark on a quest to learn new skills in preparation for my new upcoming project. This time I brought along some audio gear to mess around. Give it a listen & proceed.
It takes Jeroen a thousand hours to rebuild a classic MG A. One of those hours is documented here. Listen to a minute in that hour below.

Time to do something different
Van Gogh probably would've liked a day like today. Nature provided a color palette right in his wheelhouse and sure as shit I could've pictured him walking around with his ezel strapped to his back. Though, today it was just me and my camera with a 300mm prime. Plenty for a day down in the valley.

I’m well and done, not baked, at least not anymore.
10 wins, a draw, and a final match left unplayed. The players hit the field on a tuesday night to cap off the season. At the same time a broadcast is airing nationwide. The Dutch Prime minister is laying down new sets of restrictions. All adult amateur sports are put on hold as the pandemic continues to spread. That Tuesday night All In Senioren lead in their respective ranking.
What would it be like to be lost at sea? Afloat, lying on your back, after your arms and legs have given out. The tide acting as a restless but gentle guide on your rather unfortunate voyage across the deep blue. Your entire world. There. Drifting.

What a time to be alive, and kicking, kicking ass. April started off with sitting on the beaches near the Great Ocean Road (Photoverses: I sat by the ocean) and you joined me in the self isolation on the Mornington Peninsula (Photoverses: Living in a vacuum). Plans fell through, lessons were learned, skills acquired and new projects arose. So, through some good guidance and more by accident than by design I’m finding new ways to express. Shedding light onto-, putting into words-, kicking ass.

Not soon after embarking I knew I was living the dream. Trunk packed to the brim with camera gear and camping equipment. An ‘’eskie’’ full with food, coffee, thee and instant hot choco. And if I would find myself in poor company, a couple of magazines and a journal to boot. Though, for soon after the odometer passed 400 km's I found myself at a crossroads. The literal kind, stuck between two valleys, as well as the figurative. Granted, that took a little longer to figure out.

Or how to reset, re-evaluate and change my behavior.
Location: Mornington, VIC
2 months ago I arrived on Australian soil. The plane landed early in the evening, around dusk, and by the time I was cleared through customs the sun had long past the horizon. After the warm welcome by my family, we drove through the night from Melbourne airport down to the peninsula. The sky was pitch black, the only illumination coming from the scarcely lit streets. After a little more than an hour we finally arrived. There was only one thing on my mind; ‘’sleep.’’
