A brief history

Streetart and photography have fascinated me eversince I left the village I grew up in. My facinatio for photography started with capturing the nature around me. Very soon after starting this "hobby" I lost my interest in nature Photography. As I went to some of the nicest cities in Europe, I noticed the urbn environment is far more inspiring. So the cities quickly beame my new habitat as a photographer. Because I was more interested in the urban environment I also developed a fascination for streetart, like graffiti, stickers and stencil-art. I once had the plan to document the street-art of my hometown, but I never actually caried uot this plan. In stead I came across a book of stencil artist Banksy. His works have inspired me to trie and make my own stencil-art. In this blog I will show my works combined with occasional photographs of me and other relevant stuff.
