Shot a football match in the Amsterdam Arena. Ajax was playing against Excelsior (Rotterdam) and won three goals to zero. Great to shoot something different than iceskating every now and then.
Good for working on your techniques and network!
Newspapers
Goods weeks at Weissensee with a load of publications in all the regional and national newspapers!
Weissensee 2016
the Big Lake
Once every few year, not only the smaller part of the Weissensee (AT) lake, but also the bigger part freezes over. This results in one giant black piece of ice, every iceskaters dream!
Jan Maarten Heideman
Jan Maarten Heideman is the male skater with the most victories of all time. Currently racing in his last season I shot this portrait for an article in AD newspaper.

Shadows
When winter temperaturs and summer sun are combined, what results is shadows dancing over the natural ice.

Portrait of the female icespeedskater with the most victories off all time on the natural ice of Weissensee (AT).
Haaksbergen
It is always the battle between the different natural ice rinks who can organise the first marathon on natural ice. This year it was Haaksbergen that won this race by being the first track to offer 3cm of pitch black ice combined with a good weather forecast for the evening. The woman started in the snow but finished under good conditions.
The man started and finished in good conditions and delivered the big crowd a great race. It was Gary Hekman that won the sprint of the leading group!
