Really appreciate you read this. Its just some about me. No Pitch, or long introduction.

The essence? I am Marcel, born 1970 and I love photography.

 

Photography is not just hobby. Its on depth. On a person. on connection to life. On see society , possibly oversee the field as a Captain. That makes I will give you a lot on that in this section.

Get its on the heart, tolerance just as its on boundaries and oversee all.

 

February 2025, I am busy and involved in art. An art presentation, a project. Making the art and expose it. There is no photographic element yet. it takes time. However project 50/50 will get some adds , that runs up here.

  

Humanity

As person I am the Chief Native of my regio, the Zaanstreek. The Zaan is a small river running below seas level ! The title is not official but a honour to me and my roots. Its fair to say many people look up to me, in many different ways. My mentality is on be the Captain on my own ship. That includes a strong mental part ; love and emotions are big too.

 

Humanity and be yourself, aware of yourself and learn this in life is very important to me. This includes attacking, bullying people on the body the have or on mental problems is not acceptable to me. As I am not average neither. I dont care you are small, thick, thin, tall , got no hair, long hair , red hair, facial body art, missing fingers, 6 toes , got mental issues, or any kind of “speciality” .

 

My care

My care is on be yourself, be aware and dont flight or fight cause of not being part of a group. Part of group often translated in accused of not being common or simply be neglected.

 

From many points of view awareness on the railways scene developed. From people who like me love the trains, to people work in this field. Its often on special people. People of all kinds. People who also often love to be part of a group and indeed that brings the risk on deselect people with any kind of speciality, Get my position: dont go hard , hide in groups but get many many people loves the trainsscene, far more as trainspotters, railphotographers or modelrailroaders.

 

Be Responsible

Please be aware railways attract many people. Its not just man, with some issues in the autism spectre. To help people out of this cliche; amongst musicians (of any kind of music, man and woman) railways are also very favorite. This is a long open hearted launch of myself as very social and quit unusual person. There is just one of me and I am real; its no role , no plan, just self awareness.

 

Be Fair

I give this all as many people confuse look up with fear me. And some dudes love to feed on fear me. Often from jealousy , like wanna be me or have half of my talents and skills ; where of course my defects and damages are seldom admired. All I ask is dont fear me. No Please as that is correct behavior to many; but in my culture that is however incorrect as its taken as begging and misuse people.

 

Love to be yourself! (like me)

Above all: Please be yourself; be aware of that. Plus as support. Good maybe people got an negative opinion on what you photograph. At least that means you are seen. So what its railways, maybe portraits, nakeds or any kind of weird, fetish or even “not general accepted”. Be yourself and be glad to express that also with photos. I do, I love it. I wish you the same.

 

Dystopia is my world view

Further my personal concern is we live in a dystopia, fully build on lose the self awareness in favor of be a consumer. Society is build on consumption, a form of addiction. Just as seems some places are like shopping malls in the pre internet days, like any one need to go there. With vibes as belong to a group, be something then, be sample and be happy. In the end its on people running, fighting and get shocked. On too much pressure on people. On too much be driven in streams instead of be the captain on your own ship. Be the Captain, is be like me is however not given to any one.

 

Consumption does not fullfill the heart

The magic tragic on consumers is on be alone, lonely, unhappy, searching to belong to some people, not find any thing in that and compensate with materials , for and from yourself. Materials like bling bling, expensive shoes, jackets, scooters , fat bikes, big cars, and lots of lifestyle adds like expensive eating, take the plane allover the globe, warn any one else on environmental damage of plains, warn th earth goes down like in the bibleś apocalypse and dont realize a single second that moment already passed decades maybe centuries ago.

 

The Happy few is party on

What this maybe can mean, like where I tend with my conception of todays society?

Humanity runs out of dignity, awareness, and out of gas, oil, coal, grain drinkable water..

Like people go in a group. The groups sense lead. Breathe succes or be some one. The general directions? Be on mass events, have exclusive homes, cars. Do not care on any one else ! Especially who is half dead or those simply die. Die on fullfill the consumption-needs. Needs lived by the group. More specific by the happy few. A happy few having good times in some parts of the worlds. The parts where people get infected heavily by media and common sense on leadership. Like we live at a great place. Our place is we are the leader, the best of world. Only the best got the right of consumption, parties,have all, deserve that!

 

We are Sinking!?

What I see is like living on the Titanic after the Collision. What is the last 30 years, as all exposes huge in Europe and America, an often used theme for movies (not just the James Cameron Drama, the squence is copied many times, f.e. the movie Bombardement from NL). Ya some people party, cant get enough of Greed. With if our Cars come from Asia, Our food from outside the EU, our clothes are from outside the EU; the labor is done from people from cheap loan lands . And we simply let them build homes for new consumers, for themselves. Eating this way all the field we need for food production and mental health.. Yet leading to 1/3 of the population lives in poverty according to stats; back in 1969 their share was close to zero.

 

How about many party entries and people in poverty, too pover to party?Its sad for them. They get eaten, riped off even. Parasites have parties too; about eat others with chunks to the bones! Make very clear they are losers. Often the package is gold. Like you are so good, lovely. Lets help you, you deserve it. You know what that is? Falling. Not just from a balcony, like the famous, as Chet Baker, Rex Gildo, Liam Pain, or other artists as last calls of a life where the party seems to be anything!Anything but selfawareness, be the self. Far from be away from alcohol, drugs and or depressions. All on lost grip. However newcomers and pover people are no artists or famous. For them no fame, success, big money. Their past scrapped and no future is given instead. No future is quit simple defined. By some promises, of a kind only a mad man will look forward to in joy. Nope their spell their fall is on the parasites with their traps. Yet like financial coaches (hence I am trained and licensed in this field but dont dare to give personal adivce, 99% of the financial coaches is not licensed!) . More often is on life coaches, all kind of coaches. No training, no diploma need and you ask giant fees as coachs. When all goes wrong? the classic hit and run advisor. Reject all responsibility, even liability. Put that even in contracts, despite such is very illegal in the whole EU. And give it a go. Go rich and dont get eaten. Kill poverty by bring people far and deep down beyond. They die, and its your party.

 

We gotta deal traps, false coaches and other parasites

Fall in the trap of false coaches, making them believe poverty is individual mindset and all is need is to believe in success and consumption. Ya right... I believe 26 falls at the roulettte table! All my money and my family is played on that card, that jackpott. Its the same as on take drugs as great way to be happy. As many say so. Lets join the group. Dont be aware a second. just do. See the pain returns and the body shouts for more of the magic. Its the start of die your sel slowly, consume the drugs and be consumed by those who gets rich off you. Great party is it. You are caged quick and will never die! The newest drugs are 10 to 100 times stronger as heroin. One shot and you die. Yes We, Western human mankind are sinking, but due to party and consumption still many many people believe its partytime in paradise. Drugs plenty, bullits and ovens waiting for after the last heartbeat... See This Captain is honest; no promises, no shit, no show.

 

People consume people?

There is nothing human in let other people, often living far away produce your good, clothes and food, deliver you gas and oil for a bargain plus some in around your place shine with filled wallets, millions of bucks, have all they need and tell you it easy, mindset and great. That all is indeed on super low selfawarness, extreme consumption. Or in my view be totally cut off from happiness and humanity. Indeed then look again at boy bands, influencers, bit coin miners, real estate brokers and the army of coaches and advisors. Often its like much hot air, no selfawareness, no knowledge and zero responsibility on all followers or clients who crash. That is about people getting rich on consume people.

 

no photos of homeless and any other weak people1

For photography this means I dont appreciate photos of homeless. Not on take this or watch this; just as on beggars, pover people, so called anti social people , mental damaged, or even drugs- and alcohol users. Is it fun to watch people who are first consumed and then throw away. Get why they are consumed? For being special. Taken on their weak spot, just to consume. Indeed like terminate a person, for feeling good for awhile. How aware are you you are special. I am, and I care, for the simple reasons you photograph trains probably. Dont accuse me of anything and set up. Ask or conversate me on me is the only I appreciate. Further know this, get this and get I am honest and go deep below the surface.

 

We cant invite all and any to our party

Good we Party at a sinking ship. Where have all the good times gone? According to the happy few its all good times now. lets party. Come join!!

 

The invitation promises to consume the good news . Come as yourself. Anything is good. dont worry. party. Sadly many ships sinks. almost the whole fleet. Its why I am Captain of my own ship. The message? I will sink too if all sink. Just dont accept the invitation. Its no party to be with all people at the same place. Where the common sense is Shut Up, We All Life the Party.. When you go party then survive the drugs or hard labour. Oh self awarenees, be strong, be yourself. Like Captain MoltoAlto. Then get I dont invite all to be on my soils or my boat. As then we all sink, myself include. Still many get fooled and need to be here. To consume the gas and food what is no longer produced here. There is no place and be yourself, selfawareness can only be in tolerant and vulnerable mentality; with much understanding. ITs the party and the language is paradise, pills, thrills and “you need to be here”. Innerpeace is past; peace will break. To my luck I died december 5th 2003 already; so I life the independent life after dead. What is a very happy position; to come there is to die , give up all and almost any. That is a too big offer in any common sense. Lots of you are lost , some very jealous on me. However my sad part? I died long ago , what is also my luck now.

Its not on me to tell the party is over. It is! no doubt. I am already off for years. So I am not able to close the door or demand that; nor that I feel responsible on do the last duty in a bar, like clean up the mash. Where I am? Already building up. A captain, A ship, Life! Society! Happiness!!!!

What goes on around? Like in common sense. Or like at the wide lands ?

 

Hey I am put off, hard in 2003. I dont look at it for the inside, locked. I see, See, even oversee from a distance. Its not on me to disturb the party or to declare the mash to the mass. Its on me to have a heart, for myself for any one. Just as I am aware to have many around who are jealous, wanna be me, wanna be like me or just have half of my power. I did a giant offer? Died, like be killed? That needs a long long way to recover (ca 15 years). The magic is not what I oversee. The magic is my heart, your heart and get what tolerance is. We dont have to agree, even might disagree on life. Just hear eachother, dont fight but show interest and learn some. That is from the heart, as the times of excommunication are back again (like be political correct or not)

 

I am not political correct but from the heart

Yes, my vision on society is not political correct but starts from the heart and is on humanity!

Yes, with all my heart I will accept you are special, make special photos too. Appreciated!! Its why I am here too. For more as 15 years I love the beautiful footage people make!

 

Do not ruïn people for being too different to be an easy to consume cookie

Let me give you two sad samples of our Consumption Dystopia. We all need to look attractive. Well think of two friends of me. Woman who were in my life a while ago. woman who do not forget me too. About love rules

First my former post woman. To me she seems happy. From day one we had much contact, connection and fun. her smile? that is heart beat. She riding her bicycle. She got the game. on the looks? pretty. Good frontiere and butt. nice face. Oh and good she loves piercings, collect these. Also in the face. It did suit her great. To me ? hey fun with a good looking woman. Share happiness. Full acceptance. As it should be? ya!

Physical? I think to be 60 to 65 cm taller as here. So you can have thoughts, just as she and I get very well this works strange on the hormones. Such can attract heavy or die all hormones. Nope she and I did not find out. As after a year she need to talk. A big eye opener. Despite being 26 then, I was the only man in her whole life she had good contact with. She was bullied on her short being. On being small. Suffered pain, get damage. Feel insecure, not accepted. Indeed that is a super heavy burden. She was after all by far not the happy funny chickie that runs the mail for living. Isolated on being not average by body. Threated real mean. Could not come over some way, so this pain gets her achilles . She thanked me on really be there for you. As she decide to migrate. Leave the sinking ship. Go for new changes on the other side of the world. For the sakes love and life. Instead of structural get isolated, ignored and bullied. She opened my eyes that day. Not just that I am very capable to look at, in and after people. Also on never judge a book by the cover and frame people in happiness, free spirit or fully selfaware; as people can face real big troubles. Troubles that are kept inside. What can turn people in such as unwanted, unwished , even waste. Just for nature giving a bit a special body. All what I can do is show love and appreciation. Second sample? Later I learned for miss Darlene .F, who spend decades in prison, such can lead to serious defects. On one hand she adores me, loves me, needs my physical and wanna be mine. On the other hand she had and has no clue. Many see a heavily tattooed chick with a real appetite for man. Lets say I came most close in last decade and that panics her too much. She is more sweet as ruff; but is only consumed as loveless danger. Truly seeking for love, perhaps even still on my love but simply accused by many on common sense. Like? For not giving love, unable to love as she still need to find out. Simply framed away as bad, rotten. On Love? she still has to ind out. Come over. On the other hand. Man as consumers. Talk no, feel. yes. Indeed about big steal. On typical consumers behavior; cowardism. Plenty of man and woman dream of her, just for lust! Just lust, nothing more. Like throw her away afte consumption. You know what ? that is consumption dystopia that ruines people. Simple?? While she suffers the pain of love; for still need to find out. She suffers the pain of love on inability to be mine (indeed on be mine!). I suffer more or less on not get through all this, as the damages brought loops.. All is on not giving her air to breath. Even when its her on go full in consumption. just as on love , she still gotta find out a lot. Like still she needs to consume life big. On get what consumption society is. Work hard and some says she never adored a man more as me. Indeed a bit kind a like on my postwoman. No I dont blame her for that or even torture on that. apart from blaming is childish, its sad and strange she appeals enough on man to drive them crazy and drive her self close to that in adoration for me and seemingly inability to couple herself on me, like a wagon on a locomotive. All for some appreciation, love and care in life. Lets say she and I were sick of that; love is pain. For consumers this is on a big cookie, the biggest of all and frustration on net get her. Nope she is not for sale; not even a bargain. The reality. she is no cookie, still wants me deep in her heart. I can only hope she shares love and happiness each day on her beloved. That is not on consume me; all about love and care. What is the core of life.

 

There is no right for bully people on be different. its no need to damage people on love.

embrace life is on too love, to care, humanity. on acceptance of be different, the damages and get deep down the essence. The essence? Its this. Nobody is perfect (includes no body can play for god; nobody can even interfere harsh in the life of some one else.

  

on my photos

My most beloved photo-subject is railways! To me railways includes modeltrains. On modeltrains I often add an article with much relevant information. Looking at my photos you will find also other subjects. However october 2024 I start a 50 photo project. That is about railways only!

 

Much will be in Black and White; only on models I will work with colors.

 

Photography is about prepare, try, find out, and meet people. last is important. Its social and connecting. Like ask myself why I am here and that is the answer. The way is sharing. Not just the photos of myself. Its give and take!! what includes giving appreciation too. And even includes some groups.

 

news for 2025

However there is news! My direction for 2025 is on organize a gathering. Indeed call it an event or come together. Some on have some fun, share that, make photos , watch some trains. On good mood, same kind of love for photography, railways and some socializing/sharing.
