“Foggy few out of my hotel room.”
Review: 2016 Year in Photographs
I usually refer to my life as a rollercoaster ride, the higher the high means a faster fall but also a quicker bounce back. 2016 was by far the most thrilling year. And I’m not referring to Brexit nor Donald Trump.
To give some insights: I have travelled to 12 countries, 3 continents and started 2 companies. It was the year I finally quit university, read dozens of books, cooked hundreds of meals and focused on the things important to me: health, sports, business and food (not in that order).
Amongst my personal goals was to bring a great deal of musicality into my dancing. I challenged myself by being a more public persona through courses, workshops or presentations I gave. And lastly: I had lots of sessions with myself to become more antifragile.
After gaining a repulsion against photography for a while I regained my passion for it late 2015 when I started traveling again. 2016 was not short on traveling either. So here are some of my favourite picks of the photographs I took this year.
“The first three months of my year started with a big excitement. I moved to Chile and spent some time in a learning and problem solving community.”
“During a short holiday in Brussels I was invited by one MEP to get a close look behind the scenes of the European Parlament. ”
“During my 7 days, 7 projects week, where I did free photo/video-shootings, I’ve spent a day with the wonderful Ruta. We started at the main lend and somehow ended up fully dressed in a lake.”
“A city famous for it’s buildings and streets in shades of blue. I’ve made a day stop during my stay in the north west”
“Part of a series about light sources. In the darkness outside small villages I have been looking for small amounts of luminance.”
“In the summer I always travel to Sweden for some weeks to work in my favourite bar. I don’t have to explain a lot why I love working with these great people”
“Every year a group of swedish people organise the biggest jazz dance camp in the world. At 6am a group of random musicians got together and started jamming in a bar. ”
“During a break at a seminar I organised in Vilnius one of the participants had an interesting moment looking out the window. I tried to capture his thinking when he turned towards the camera.”
“I’ve have live in the Baltics for six months and spend a lot of time with the jazz dance community over there. Here we have two of the most talented dance teachers in a heated argument about surelis (a traditional chocolate bar)”
“My grandparents celebrated being married for 60 years so I flew in and surprised them at Castle Nymphenburg Palace in Munich. In love like its their first day.”
