Written by Helen

Verrast worden door de schoonheid van het alledaagse - daar word ik écht blij van. Mijn hartstocht ligt in de reis van pure creativiteit, pure expressie en de ontdekking van de oneindige rijkdom van onze alledaagse visuele wereld. Ik maak foto's omdat fris zien en pure fotografische expressie me ontzettend blij maakt, en ik de foto's zie als aanvulling om wakkerheid en ontwaking te bekrachtigen. Fotografie is mijn dagelijkse beoefening om wakker en aanwezig in het hier en nu te zijn. Deze wijze van kijken, zien, zijn en contemplatief fotograferen wil ik graag delen en doorgeven - iedereen heeft het inherente helder zien al in zich & iedereen heeft een Goed Oog, hier is geen speciaal talent voor nodig. Ik woon aan zee, waar ik als kind al wilde wonen, een uitgekomen kinderwens. The surprise of being awakened by the beauty of my everyday world makes me deeply happy. Taking pictures with zero expectation about the outcome, just because it is so enjoyable! I have an endless curiosity exploring the field of pure and expansive perception and not-knowing - instead of knowing what I should photograph. Sharing this doorway to happiness even more. I live close to the ocean - as a child I expressed my desire to live next to the ocean over and over.
