I used to live in an old town in Noord-Holland, in a house from the 1600s. I still have a thing for old buildings and architecture.

Nice house in the snow
Walking through Maastricht on New Year’s Day, we came across this little homestead. Although the snow in Amsterdam had practically melted, there was still some left in the south of Holland.

Westergasfabriek, 1:00 pm
A shot of the Westergasfabriek in state of winter. I took this picture an hour before I interviewed Matthijs van Nieuwkerk. A Dutch television presenter, let us say the Dutch Jonathan Ross.

I simply adore these old buildings from former centuries. I am glad some are still around in Amsterdam.

Walking down the stairs at Tuschinski, the greatest cinema in Amsterdam, after watching a very interesting documentary with Liselotte. ‘Getuige 1 Minuut’, the new film by Hans Heijnen.

Looking down
Thursday I shot two videos for the VARA. One about 15 years of ‘Zembla‘, the journalistic television programme of which Kees Driehuis is the editor-in-chief. I interviewed him about it, while my colleague Ilse was behind the camera. An hour later I shot an interview with television presenter Astrid Joosten. While waiting for Joosten I was just hanging out in the hallway, looked down and shot this picture.

Heading home
Amsterdam center, 5:30 pm
I took these shots from the tram while heading home this afternoon. Usually I like to read while being public transported, but it was a long day and I just wanted to relax some. But I got bored so started to take some pictures.

Sound and vision
The Netherlands institute for sound and vision, Hilversum 9:30 am
The building of the Netherlands institute for sound and vision is near my workplace at the VARA on the Media Park in Hilversum. It’s a beautiful building that looks like a big, colourful gem. I walk by it every day. Today I stayed on stop longer in the train, so I had to take a stroll to work. Since I am sitting on my butt most of the day I thought a little walk was in order.

Night time in Delft
Delft, 10:30pm (Friday the 23rd)
This weekend my girlfriend and I stayed in Delft, for a short holiday. In the next couple of days I’ll be posting some pictures I took during our stay, starting with this one: night time in Delft. We were heading back to the hotel after a nice dinner somewhere downtown.

Just strolling around between the writing of articles. Sometimes I am still amazed by the beautiful buildings in the city.
