It’s been a while but I just got back from a short break in Italy. It wasn’t a planned photo trip. Just a small holiday. To get some rest and relax. Yeah, right...we all know how these things go. Tuscany in summer. We just can’t leave it alone, can we? So here we go again, location scouting, prepairing, exposing, backing up. You know how it is. And in the end, we end up with thousands of images needing sorting. But I’m not complaining. There are worse places to be in summer. Food and drinks are great. And with 38 degrees C it was a bit sticky, but at least it was warm. And of course there's your typical Tuscan landscape. I know it's been photographed a million times, but I just love it. I love the light, the hills and valleys and the old towns and villages.

So back home again and ready to pick up the pace again. Just in time to send National Geographic an image they will be publishing in their October issue and ready to go on my first assignment for National Geographic. I will also be giving four workshops at the Zoom.nl Campus on October 1 and 2. And three more talks at Foto Konijnenberg in Den Ham, Turnhout (Belgium) and Den Haag on autumn photography. Don't miss it! All in all it looks to be a busy end of summer and autumn. Stay tuned for more news and for the new workshop program which will be completely different and new.

ps. who says a landscape photographer doesn't need a 500mm super tele lens...?
