Everywhere people with camera's find their way in this world to make their shots. I like the art of taking realistic pictures, because it provides a way to show how I experience this world. It is a way for other people to look through my eyes.Nature ... exists primarily for her face, her look, her appeals to the heart and the imaginationGeorge MacDonaldJan-Carel Vierbergen
Picture courtesy of Ruut WegmanBIOIt is all in the family: love for hiking in the nature. Since my childhood I'm used to walk with father, brothers, cousins, etc., and take pictures (Minolta X-700 with 28-70 mm and 100-300 mm zoom) of what I see. I grew up in Ede (The Netherlands), studied Electrical Engineering in Eindhoven and I am working now as Coordinator e-learning at the Christelijke Hogeschool Ede (http://www.che.nl) where I implement digital assessments for students and assist students in DTP and creating websites.
Since I know little about photographing as well as computer science it was not difficult to find ways for putting images on the web. The only thing to look for now is to find ways for showing the slides in a convenient way. I tried already something at http://www.che.nl/users/jcv (Dutch only, click at Dia's van de natuur in Nederland en de Alpen), but this platform provides good means to share my pictures with others.
I hope you enjoy this!

How great to have such a big family. And who is the one with an impressive beard and beret? He looks like he runs the clan.

A wonderful family portrait Jan-Carel! I like seeing the expressions and that so many have gathered together for this exploration. How wonderful to have such a close family all interested in staying active like this. It's beautiful to see! :-)

It reminds me of satyrs on a Greek island as I follow the story line. How unexpected to come on this group in the forest.

It's really nice to see your relatives gathered here. Some strong characters there too, I think. And I like those wee little mugs (jenevertje tegen de koude wind?;-) Certainly a different shot from you, JC!

A very good idea to share this precious photography with us Jan-Carel. And a great family ;o)))) Uncle Arie must be someone very particular he has a fantastic face ! It must be a joy every time you go together somewhere in the Nature. That reminds me some old shots of Giancarlo with his friends in the Dolomites 25 years ago... same spirit ! Have a wonderful week-end my friend. Hugs. V

Every year i spend a fortnight on this fantastic island. Nice and cosy shot. Fuji Sensia 100 and velvia 100 are also my favorite films for conventional photography. Warm, natural colours.
