Ester van Dam

Besides painting i love to take photo's eversince i got hold on an old minolta slr as a child. Love Nature, as i am half Finnish many pictures have been taken in Finland where i now live. There is nothing better then to explore beautiful (wild) nature and to catch some of the magic.

I have started exploring other fields of photography like portraiture and street photography. Photography gives me change to view the world more indepth and to highlight the beauty (not meaning esthetic beauty perse) and wonder of life and humanity. Sometimes that can be a small thing like the pattern of ice and sometimes it is big like the Aurora Borealis but it can also be two streetmuscians comforting eachother on a cold day.
