What’s the hidden rhythm of a photo?
I ran a small experiment combining photography and Python to find out—compressing my images into color strips that reveal patterns of color and light.
A photo isn’t just a story, but also a collection of tiny choices we make as photographers.

Yesterday was the Leiden Marathon, and while supporting friends, I also managed to capture a beautiful scene. A kid cheering up and clapping hands with runners.
That’s the spirit of sport and support!
Got this shot while walking with @amsterdam.photowalks. Amsterdam never disappoints, there’s always something happening around. As the seasons change, and we have more sun shinning there’s a new life into the city. Perfectly captured by the colorful attire of this cyclist.
Part of the character of the city comes also from the dogs, and other animals around. I’m a dog person, and photography has allowed me to capture these other urban inhabitants.
Sometimes a photo is waiting just outside the window. That was the case a couple of days ago, when I went to close the blinds and noticed the moon in the horizon.
A social housing building in Amsterdam. With a background in architecture I’m also pull into seeing the city through its buildings. And De Piramides certainly dominate the space in the west of Amsterdam. A social housing building with 82 apartments divided in two towers.
We have been fortunate with good sunny days in The Netherlands for the last couple of weeks. As we get more into Spring the light starts to give an extra life to the streets.
Photography is a game of patience, light, and synchronization.
While walking around the neighborhood I noticed this passage with the light shadow on it. I thought that it would be a good photo if there was someone passing by. However, the passage is in a very quiet street. So I needed to wait for the perfect moment, when someone passed, and that the sun was still casting shadows. I was lucky that it happened.
