Description

ABOUT THE BOOK

In early 2020 I began working on what would become On My Doorstep. By concentrating on a smaller area of the Ooijpolder than I did before and by spending a lot of time exploring and observing  the landscape, a strong feeling of intimacy developed. I moved about mainly by bicycle and foot, in order to slow down, always a small camera at hand, taking photographs inspired by amazement or chance rather than any preconceived plan.

I have lived here for 30+ years; the word that always comes to mind is rooted; the sounds, scents, temperatures, people, light, animals, trees, wind. It’s the place where I feel at my best – my biotope; it’s in fact about the significance of the concept of home.

On My Doorstep has been enriched with a text written by Dutch behavioral biologist Tijs Goldschmidt. He has reflected on the landscape in words, as I have in photographs; the result is his Notes that appear in this publication. 

The title was inspired by the work of the American photographer Paul Strand; Strand’s The World On My Doorstep was published in 1994. His doorstep was literally the world at large. My doorstep – between 2020 and 2022 – was limited by necessity to a few kilometres around my house.
