Leaving Amsterdam for Maastricht this morning I felt a sense of longing to return. Having only had one evening of the atmosphere of this eclectic city, I was happy to know that at least tomorrow I will have the canals and architecture in front of my lens.
I am off to Maastricht today to begin the Boxing Project, with the Nederlanse Dansdagen festival.

Dance will always be inherent to my photographic practice. To capture something in flight, something that the eye simply cannot achieve by itself.
