I admire you

I admire the strength you have

Even when you seem not so  sure of yourself.

You embrace the things in life that just  may break someone else

you are stronger than they think.

You  have overcome so much that I just wonder sometime how you could

still be so nice and loving to others, when you feel you are full of darkness.

You smile by day and frown by night

the happiness that seems to be bursting out of you, just disappears when you work out that door and head home for the night.

You enjoy so many things but you feel like you are so wore out that the light is slowly losing the battle as you are too tired to fight off the defects of the darkness.

Will you win this battle with a few scars or lose it with the biggest wound of all?

I guess only time will tell when I see you again.

  1. cpluzc – Maastricht – At 67, I’ve transitioned from a 43-year career in supply chain management to pursue my passion as a self-taught photographer. Since my recent retirement, I’ve dedicated myself to visual storytelling that explores the intersections of environment, circular economy, and the evolving influence of artificial intelligence on human social life. A more in-depth elaboration and continuation of the blogging I've been doing here for almost 15 years. Working primarily in monochrome with Nikon gear, I’ve developed a distinctive visual language that strips away distraction to reveal the essential narratives within our changing world. My photography examines how we interact with our environment, how resources flow through circular systems, and how technology is reshaping human connection and community. Each image is accompanied by thoughtful blog writing, where I expand on the stories behind my photographs and explore the broader implications of what the lens captures. This combination of visual and written narrative allows me to delve deeper into the complex themes that drive my work. My background in supply chain management informs my photographic perspective—I understand systems, flows, and interconnections. This analytical foundation, combined with the artistic freedom of self-taught exploration, enables me to approach environmental and social themes with both technical precision and creative vision. Through monochrome photography, I seek to highlight the essential truths of our time: our relationship with the natural world, the promise and challenge of circular economic models, and the profound ways artificial intelligence is transforming how we live, work, and relate to one another.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
