Photo contributions to Alpine Society Journals


My dear friends and profile followers!  First of all I am very happy to announce the technical issues with my blog site have been resolved. So, we are up and running again. Secondly, some of my photos ended up in short articles in both Dutch and Polish Alpine Society Journals. The first one is a night shot from the winter climbing in La Meije, France. It has been published in a FOCUS section of the annual NKBV (Royal Dutch Alpine Society) bulletin: “Hoogtelijn”.

Attached below, a low-res preview of an article (in Polish) by Bogusław Kowalski (Polish Alpine Society Instructor) about alternative methods of tying in into the rappel rings.

I am also very pleased to announce I am working on few other nice projects that will hopefully get published in coming weeks. Aha… One more thing! Please expect a video / slideshow from our summer ascent of  Mount Blanc with Adam Zawadzki.

Groningen BootCamp Night Photoshoot


The long winter evenings are approaching, and it is becoming difficult to find motivation for a decent aerobic workout. However, there is a group of motivated and skilled fitness enthusiasts who led by Mayra Bijvank (http://www.ptmb.nl) workout on a regular basis in our beloved Groningen. I had a pleasure to take part in one of the outdoor workout sessions, themed BootCamp (http://www.bootcampgroningen.com). I am genuinely impressed! Below, you can find the collection of photographs from the recent workout! “Oo-rah!”…
