There’s a quiet, meditative quality that imbues your photographs.

I think it’s interesting that you’re working similar but different projects in Morro Bay and the Outer Banks. And then toss in your LA freeways…

Always enjoy your videos. Thanks for sharing them.

off season OBX is so much more the vibe then peak summer. I love it there in Fall or spring. You really feel the culture, history and get the low down from the locals.

Wow, wow, wow! The photos in this vlog are absolutely stunning! Incredible work Willem!!

Love all of your work but I really love this project of yours in the Outer Banks. I’ve been living on the NC Coast(Holden Beach) with my wife for 18 months now and I’ve been trying my best to put together a body of work to document the seascape/architecture here. We’re moving back home in a year so I’m hoping to have it finished by then.🤞The light out here is just surreal! Cheers Willem!

Such a beautiful video. Your photos and the vibe of the video brought back memories of family vacations on the Outerbanks in the 1960’s. We would stay in quaint little motorcourt motels nestled in the dunes Buxton. Sure looks different now shaped by decades of powerful storms. Thanks for the memories.

Especially in the second half of your video are some insanely nice photographs, very athmospheric!

Your thoughts about the two pool by the shore photos resonates. In many situations where there are bright, interesting colors in the scene I’ve found bright, clear sky early to mid-afternoon light makes for the most engaging photos, just like this one. Especially in early spring or late fall when the low sun really brings out the contrast in the smallest shadows. This whole series is beautiful. 🙏✌️

Excellent work! Building houses on the seaside, INSANE!

[sierragold]

Your videos are always so peaceful and calming. Beautiful shots as well!

[neglectedloves]

Absolutely love your laid back vibe of your videos besides seeing fantastic photography 👏🏻

...and I fully agree on how intriguing the photos of Sugimoto are 🖤

Beautiful! Just f’in beautiful!! Every time I see one of your OBX vids, my heart longs to be back down there, rather than being here in Northern Virginia. Thankfully, I’m headed back down to Nags Head next week, and I ALWAYS have stayed at the Sea Foam (top floor facing the ocean) because I’m thats just my thing, unless I’m hanging for a night or or more on Ocracoke. I’m particularly excited about this coming trip because it’ll be the first time shooting film there, so I’ve got a lot of spots I want to revisit to capture with my recently acquired Contax G2. BTW, love all the shots in your vid. That one of the two houses on the waterline in Rodanthe is particularly awesome, especially since the one on the left has the sign stating ‘Front Row Seat’! Doesn’t get much more front row than that scene!

just amazing. couldn't agree more with that photo of the still ocean water. just breathtaking as usual!

[fotoralf]

Lovely photos as always, Willem. Just trying to imagine what a series of photos taken by you off-season at the Belgian coast might look like. 🙂

[jasonblake]

Images are incredible Willem, most inspirational!
