Raised in rebuilding Rotterdam and after secondary education at a young age make a choice what to do next. For me: the Academy for Arts in Rotterdam or a life with a little more action, excitement and adventure. It has become the last. My choice was sailing and flying and that was possible with the Navy. After six years of Royal Navy, I started working at the police in Rotterdam. After more than 15 years of detective work, I have become a project leader for domestic violence, child abuse and honor-related violence and are now retiring. When I was twelve, I got a camera and, like my grandfather (with his glass plates), I fell in love with photography. I followed the photograduate school between my work at the police. Drawing, painting and calligraphy are also my favorite activities. However, I would like to surprise you with my photographic works and I hope that a theme will match your personal wishes.
