We met with Katinka and Marcus at the Oldenhof in Flevoland (Netherlands) at 7:30 AM on a Monday morning for their engagement session. Our schedules both of them and hours were so tight that we just couldn't find another date and time for their session. I am not an early bird usually but this wonderful couple, the location and the special morning light let me fall in love with early morning sessions.

Arriving at the beautiful island of Crete we were welcomed with sun and friendly people. We enjoyed the dinner for two at a Greek taverna every night and shared Greek appetizers together. Talking about life, about the great food, the great wine, the wonderful hospitality on the island. Seriously this island stole my heart. The beauty of the nature and the crystal blue sea just kept my breath and the great home made food at every taverna we chose just got me thinking about a Greek cooking class. We went to Spain before were we also shared tapas but these "mezedes" were even so much better. I love the idea of sharing food together instead of just eating each a single meal. So food wise I was right in heaven. The best way to enjoy the nature and the Greek cuisine is going hiking (not the main tourist roads) and end your hiking route in a small rural taverna.
Als wir auf der wunderschönen Insel Kreta ankamen wurden wir von der Sonne und sehr vielen freundlichen Menschen begrüßt. Wir haben fast jeden Abend in einer griechischen Taverne zu Abend gegessen und teilten uns einfach ein paar griechische Vorspeisen. Wir sprachen über das Leben, das griechische Essen, den leckeren Wein und die wunderbare Gastfreundschaft auf der Insel. Ganz ehrlich, diese Insel hat mein Herz gestohlen. Die Schönheit der Natur, und der Anblick des kristallklaren blauen Meeres ließ mir jedes Mal den Atem stocken und das herrliche hausgemachte Essen, das wir in jeder Taverne bekamen, ließ mich kurz über einen griechischen Kochkurs nachdenken. Als wir in Spanien waren, haben wir auch oft Tapas gegessen, aber diese "Mezedes" waren einfach noch viel besser.Ich finde es großartig einfach viele kleine Dinge zu teilen, anstatt das jeder einfach nur ein eigenes Gericht isst. Also was das Essen angeht war ich wirklich im Himmel. Der beste Weg die griechische Küche und die Natur zu genießen ist das Wandern ( nicht auf den großen Touristenrouten) und die Wanderroute in einer kleinen, ländlichen Taverne zu beenden.
After two episodes of "Find the light" where I showed you how to find good light when the sun is at its highest this episode is for situations where you are on an open field where you cannot find any shadow at all and the sun is still to high to create images with nice evening light.
Actually this post should be called: Things I adore but that sounded kind of sneaky. But I truly adore mats. When we are in a museum or in a gallery shop where you can buy prints of photographs or other artists and I see one in a mat I am almost sold. Luckily I don't buy all of them but seriously I think there is nothing like a simple mat around a picture. It frames it, it is the finishing touch and it gives it a better feeling. Specially today when prints or digital images lost a lot of their value compared to years ago I think a mat gives the image value. That is why I really love so sell my prints in a mat to my clients. Everytime I ship matted prints to my clients I cannot wait for them to receive them. To see, feel and touch their picture perfectly finished in a mat.
