ToonBeeld Thorn, Thorn 🇳🇱

In 2025, ToonBeeld Thorn celebrates its 15th edition with a special Living Statues Festival on Pentecost Sunday, featuring top acts from the Benelux and highlights from past years.

The story

Something totally different today: on this Pentecost Sunday, I went out to photograph a living statues championship using a new film simulation recipe, in the beautiful and cozy little city of Thorn. Of course, I got pulled over by a cop – you can see him in the pictures!

Maastricht 🇳🇱

Maastricht is a city and a municipality in the southeastern Netherlands. It is the capital and largest city of the province of Limburg. Maastricht is located on both sides of the Meuse, at the point where the Jeker joins it. Mount Saint Peter is largely situated within the city's municipal borders.

The story

It was a sunny day in the beautiful city of Maastricht! In the evening, I attended another Vive La Fête concert, so during the day, the perfect weather made it ideal for a photography walk.

Koningsdag 👑, Breda 🇳🇱

Koningsdag or King's Day is a national holiday in the Kingdom of the Netherlands. Celebrated on 27 April (26 April if the 27th is a Sunday), the date marks the birth of King Willem-Alexander. When the Dutch monarch is female, the holiday is known as Koninginnedag or Queen's Day and, under Queen Beatrix until 2013, was celebrated on 30 April.

Breda is a city and municipality in the southern part of the Netherlands, located in the province of North Brabant. The name derived from brede Aa and refers to the confluence of the rivers Mark and Aa.

The story

For this year’s edition of King’s Day, I visited Breda: a sun-filled day with nice people and way-too-expensive drinks! Unfortunately, I used the silent electronic shutter instead of the mechanical one, which caused banding in many of the pictures of the band under the spotlights – so a lot of photos didn’t pass quality control. Better luck next time!

Utrecht 🇳🇱

Utrecht is the fourth-largest city and a municipality of the Netherlands, capital and most populous city of the province of Utrecht. It is located in the eastern corner of the Randstad conurbation, in the very centre of mainland Netherlands.

The story

Actually, I was planning to go to Utrecht the previous weekend, but public transportation let me down. So the next chance was this weekend! While other people were walking the Kennedymars, 80 km (50 miles), or the Swentiboldmars, 40 km (25 miles), I did my own photography mars of 20 km (12.5 miles) in Utrecht!

Maastricht 🇳🇱

The story

Next weekend will be very busy – visiting Vive la Fête again and combining it with a photo journey in Antwerp and Brussels. I didn’t want to leave you guys without any photography updates, so I decided to take a quick stroll through a sunny but icy-cold Maastricht. I used a recipe loaded into the Ricoh GR III that simulates a vintage print look.
