He resides in Erica, a small village in the Netherlands. In normal life he is a general practitioner (house doctor) and spends the remaining spare time in making photographs. Mostly in free nature using a Nikon D200 with a 105 mm macro lens and macroflash. But also using the AF VR-Nikkor 80-400 mm lens and recently the Nikkor 10.5 mm fisheye mounted on a Nodal Ninja 3 panoramic tripod head.
