Join me in my campaign to bring the conservation of Nature
and the best of classical music together. The sonosphere—the
sea of sounds which surrounds us—deserves as much attention and
care as our water and air!

[I believe in everything not yet said]—an early
poem from the German, by Rainer Maria Rilke

SNOW

It 's snowing. To the swarming silence the winds give up their wings.
The unbaised heavens are not to be mollified like existence.
—The righteous snows fall upon those scorned and those loved.
The snow falls on the stones under which the dead decay.

SNEEUW

Het sneeuwt. Om de weemlende stilte begeven hun vleugels den winden.
De onzijdige hemel is niet te vermurwen gelijk het bestaan.
- De rechtvaardige sneeuw valt over versmaden en over beminden.
De sneeuw valt over de stenen waaronder de doden vergaan.

J.C. Bloem
uit: Sintels, 1945

I might just mention here, following the ethical principle,
First, do no harm, I never use cars or snowmachines. I
do everything on foot, bike or ski. I think this in a
deep and direct way affects my work, and how I see
the world. So all the photos above were approached
on foot, including all the in between spaces, sometimes
involving journeys of weeks or months.

I would not want to work any other way.
