It was not only the Corona-crisis, the quarantine and the light lock-down as it is here in Belgium, when I decided that I needed an own challenge to stick on and keep on going during difficult times. I'm not a photographer, just a creative engineer with artistic hobbies, sometimes inspired by the nature (https://earthstoriesblog.wordpress.com/). On holidays in far-away and close-by places or whenever possible I make (thousands of) amateurs photos of nature, since the nature's perfection and beauty in every detail is really amazing and it fascinates me.
Even a small house and/or garden like ours can be a place to (re)discover the beauty of tiny, small and perfect things and beings in challenging times.
So, why not counteracting the crisis with nature (inspired) beauty and make a photo-collage each day to send to friends and support them and myself during these challenging times? And why not making the photo's with an iPhone and some attached lenses, instead of professional camera's?
Challenge accepted...
