in the year 2022

Saturday 31st of December

On the last day of the year we're browsing through the precious memories we made together in 2022. Captured forever in 178 pages.

An annual photo book tradition since 2007.

Wishing you all an exciting 2023 and challenging new beginnings!

2022 in a nutshell on instagram

playback 2021 & press play 2022

Annual photo book tradition since 2007.

After 72 analogue photo albums from 1986, digital photography took over.

We missed browsing through our photo albums and started to make one printed photo book every year. Thousands of photos to choose from and we reduced it to 170 full-page photos of 2021! You can 'browse' the book on my Instagram account.

What a year. It won't get any crazier. It started in january with Henks heart attack and 65 seconds without a heartbeat. Thereafter sometimes pulse 180 because of the excitement and beautiful and emotional moments.

We went to Amsterdam, Antwerp, Olhao, Aljezur, Vila do Bispo, Paris, Bari, Ostuni, Puglia, Marrakech and Barcelona. We enjoyed the days with our family, friends, new friendships and of course there was the birth of our grandson Liam-Novi in November.

Let's forget the 'shit' and only remember the good things of last year and face 2022 with hope, joy and new plans. Very much looking forward to 'normal life', freedom, family time, travel and love.

Now it's time to hit the play button for 2022!

Best wishes to you all have a great year!

annual photobook

Since 2007 we make an annual photobook of our 'best' photos.
It has become a tradition to make a selection from our photo archive.
It's a great way to keep the memories of the year alive.
We try to make a chronological overview of our travels and everyday life.
It's quiet difficult to choose from over 6000 pictures, but we always manage to reduce it to about 150 pages
(sometimes we already know during shooting, this one will be in the book...)
Printed photos are precious!
We already have quiet a collection of annual photobooks.
Today we flipped through our 2016 edition (even though if the year is not over yet)

I love to browse through the years every now and then.

On my instagram you can have a look 'inside'.

anno 1992

In the attic we have more than 70 photo albums.
This week I was looking for a particular photo and came across this crochet sweater!
It's hideous isn't it?
The photo of Minne & me was taken in the summer of 1992 on the beach in The Hague.
I made both sweaters myself and as I can recall, since than I haven't touched knitting- or crochet needles for years.
I started crocheting again in 2007. It started with one single cover for a stool I made.
(you know what happened next...)
