Isn't it fascinating how our world has changed? In an era where digital illusions have become the norm, we often find ourselves entangled in a game of ‘real or fake’? Our eyes, once trusted witnesses to reality, have transformed into the first skeptics. With every stunning photo shared online, the question inevitably arises: ‘Is this AI-generated?’

Some flowers, steadfast and proud, still bloom as if holding onto the last remnants of summer's warmth. Others, their petals fading, bow gracefully, surrendering to the change. Yet, there is no sorrow in this slow fading; only beauty, only the richness of colors more vibrant than ever, as though nature has saved its most glorious palette for these final moments.

Today, I lowered my perspective as close to the earth as I could get, and what unfolded before me was nothing short of magic: a miniature chard forest, painted in pinks and greens, shimmering beneath the autumn light.

‘Kabinet wil uitgeprocedeerde Afrikaanse asielzoekers naar Oeganda sturen’, las ik net op de NOS app. ‘We hebben een lange relatie met Oeganda en het is een gastvrij land. En asielminister Faber gaat de mogelijkheden verder uitpluizen’, aldus Minister Klever van Buitenlandse Handel en Ontwikkelingshulp.

Ik heb een kleine kanttekening, mevrouw Klever en mevrouw Faber: De rechten van homoseksuelen in Oeganda zijn een uiterst zorgwekkend mensenrechtenvraagstuk. Oeganda staat wereldwijd bekend om zijn restrictieve en repressieve wetgeving ten aanzien van LGBTQ+-rechten, en homoseksualiteit wordt in het land als strafbaar beschouwd.

I had the pleasure of designing the foundation of Saskia’s website, and she’s personalized it beautifully to reflect her unique approach and expertise. Curious to explore her services or see the new site? You can visit it here.

I designed a simple Squarespace website for Duniya Foundation. The children at our school wear a cheerful red shirt and this color is the leading color in the design. It combines beautifully with black and white photography, a nice contrast with the many distinct Indian colors.

Sentimental Journal issue 10 is out! The theme is 'Festivity' and the whole magazine is so festive! So colorful! So full of inspiration. Every time a new magazine comes out I think I have my favorite issue, and every time I am outdone. It is a great pleasure to contribute to this beautiful product.

People who know me know that I am anything but trend-sensitive and our own house is a mix of a lot of influences, something that we feel comfortable with and actually reflects who we are very well. But of course I have studied Wabi-sabi and 'Japandi' and I like the tranquility that this style radiates.

I will be taking part in the exhibition India Smiles: ‘From September 9, the photo exhibition INDIA SMILES by  Oscar van der Voorn can be seen in the GO Gallery. The exhibition is about the photographer’s love for India, about his encounters and adventures in the country he loves so much and has been traveling for decades.’
