I am strongly considering giving nature in the Netherlands another chance and taking up a new book project here. But first, of course, I want to finish my project on European canyons. We really don't have those in the Netherlands! more
I hope they show a reverence for the natural world that you experience every day. We are surrounded by nature everywhere, even among the high rises of the big cities - it may feel less pervasive in urban areas, but we are not separated from it. more
Another aspect of Bill’s photography that is worth noting is the way in which he is able to showcase tranquility in his photography in such a consistent fashion. more
