Welcome to my corner of the web, where I've finally found the time to pursue my passion for photography and storytelling. My name is John, and after dedicating over 43 years to hard work, I decided to embrace retirement at the age of 60, eager to savour the next chapter of life here in the tranquil landscapes of rural-country Victoria.
Throughout my career, I've always yearned to create a space where I could share glimpses of my world with loved ones and the wider community. Now, with this website, I have the opportunity to showcase not only my photography but also the rich tapestry of experiences that have shaped my journey.
One of my greatest joys is staying connected, with my Dutch roots, cherished friends both near and far, and fellow enthusiasts who share my love for exploration and discovery. Whether it's capturing the serenity of a misty morning on camera or recounting tales of adventures past, I invite you to join me on this digital journey.
Thank you for dropping by, and I genuinely hope you find moments of inspiration and connection during your visit here.
My Journey
Join me on an exhilarating journey through the chapters of my life. From the nostalgic memories of my childhood to the present day, I share the compelling story of my migration from Holland to Australia, and the trans-formative journey back a few years later.
Discover the rich tapestry of my life in Holland and the pivotal decision to return to Australia in my twenties. This narrative unfolds with vivid details, offering insights into my working life and the impactful events that have shaped my path.
My Galleries
Since retiring, I've embraced photography as one of my newfound passions.
While I wouldn't label myself a professional photographer, I've invested in quality equipment and thoroughly enjoy capturing moments that resonate with me. It's a source of great pleasure to explore and photograph the subjects that inspire me.
Take a glimpse into my journey through some of my favourite works."
