Visual Diary
My visual diary is both a visual account of (my) life and a laboratory and playground for experimenting with media and visual techniques for expression. This is where I've developed my visual language. It's extremely personal and therein, I've found over time, equally universal. So, feel welcome to take a peek at a selection of my diary pages. The further you scroll down, the further you scroll back in time.
Click the images for the full size images or video and sometimes some extra info.
