“It is an illusion that photos are made with the camera. They are made with the eye, heart and head”. (Henri Cartier-Bresson)

Moment photographer with an obsessive eye based near Rotterdam, The Netherlands. The male part of “Kroon en Van Maanen Fotografie”.

As you may probably have noticed, there are many pictures from Jerusalem on my photostream. There is a reason for this: I am working on a project with Anat Kroon about the rich history of the first neighborhoods outside the Old City Walls of Jerusalem. This may sound like yet another history book about Jerusalem. However, ours is a series of personal accounts from the late 1860s up until now and like our photo's brought in a non-pretentious manner.

A tiny bit about my own, never-ending photographic history:

"Every day I look at the world from my window". In the Winter of 2012, I started my personal project called 'A View From the Room'. Daily life in what appears to be an uninviting, extremely ordinary Dutch neighborhood, A kind of 'remastered' and 'best of' you can see on: www.aviewfromtheroom.nl

2015 saw the publication of our photobook: “Gezichten van Jeruzalem”. which can be ordered at bol.com: bit.ly/30zwc17

Together with the publication, we had a photo exposition in Rotterdam with a selection on dibond.
