The plazas of Barcelona, full gallery.

July 17th, 2009 | Posted in Publications, Travel

Just a lot of photo’s to enjoy from the “Plazas of Barcelona” article for ANWB Reizen magazine. Full gallery here or start the slideshow.

Placa Catalunya
Placa Catalunya, the massive square in downtown Barcelona. Filled with shoppers, people on their way from and to work and zillions of pigeons and touristst feeding them.

Placa de St. Maria del Mar
This has got to be my favorite square in the town: St. Maria del Mar. The church is amazing but the square is empty and boring… that is: until a wedding starts and usually one doesn’t have to wait long for that to happen.

The market of Santa Catarina
The market of Santa Catarina is built on the old ruins of a monastery of XIII century and is a great place for photo’s like this couple having lunch.

Placa de St. Maria del Mar
The Parade del Gigantes also starts and finishes at this amazing Placa de St. Maria del Mar, famous for it’s Church and plentyful weddings.

Placa Virreine
Placa Virreine is a good place to chill and get some coffee as these elder people show.

The ten best squares of Barcelona

June 28th, 2009 | Posted in Publications, Travel

ANWB REIZEN, The squares of Barcelona. Pages 1&2.

In the June issue of ANWB REIZEN (Travel) a ten-page article on the best squares of Barcelona with some nice blow-up images. The opening spread is one of my favorite images from last year, one thet I really had to crawl into the crowd to get: the wedding ceremony with all the rice. Next week I hope to find some time to upload all the images from this shoot, one of my favorite ones by far as I really tried to get up close and personal with my subjects.

Cycling from Prague to Dresden in ANWB REIZEN Magazine.

May 5th, 2009 | Posted in Publications, Travel

WB REIZEN, Praag-Dresden by bike. 01

Cycling from Prague to Dresden, along the Elbe, was on my mind last summer. Together with travel journalist Kees Lucassen we put on short pants, packed our cycling bags and headed out for a six-day cycling bonanza along the Czech Republic and (East) German countryside. A fantastic trip that had us enjoy two great cities, tons of sunlight, one massive downpour and one of the most stunning places I have ever been to: Rathen. Soon to be found on my site as an entry into my “favorite vies of the world”.
