the Netherlands

My place of birth, the country I grew up in and which was my first home. The Netherlands is much more than just Holland, as anyone living outside the dominating western part will tell. Only lately, I have started to really discover the lands of my family and still many friends. It is here where my photography started in the days of analogue rolls of film. It is here where I am now a tourist.
