I almost forgot to tell you that my Dutch blog came in third on this Belgian annual site of the year competition in the photo blog category. Thanks to all that voted!

This blog made it in the top 100 photography blogs on the photography colleges blog.There are probably some other interesting sites to discover there.

Fields of JoyJanuary 6

Last weekend Kobe said he wanted to go geocaching. Kobe and I used to go geocaching pretty often but lately we haven’t done much of it. One of the reasons for that was that we did most of the interesting ones in the neighborhood but a quick look on the internet revealed some interesting new treasures to be found.

So Maya, Kobe and I set off for a walk in the foggy fields close to our new house. And I was so amazed about how beautiful this area is. We live only like 6 kilometers from our old house but I never knew these fields are so nice to walk or bike. One thing I really missed when we lived in our old house was some breathing space around me. I often go for a short walk at night.

Have a Sparkling 2009 - Time FliesJanuary 2

Time flies, we are already a few days into 2009 and I finally found the time and energy to put up a new blogpost in quite some time. Let me wish you and your beloved ones all the best for 2009.

But I also started to miss some time when nothing happens, some spare hours for Bert, not Bert-the-photographer. I love photography so much that it hardly ever feels like working but the pace I’ve been living at for the last two years has been just a bit faster than my natural clock. I’m not suffering from a burn-out at all but I want to prevent that from happening in a few years time.

Time Flies and my kids grow every day. I feel very lucky to be able to spend so much time with my family. But if I’m honest I’m sometimes just too tired or distracted to enjoy the quality time like I should.

Time Flies and I don’t regret any second or decision. B
