about me

Thank you so much for visiting my blog.

Time to introduce myself:

My official (maiden) name is Joanna de Koning, born in 1964… a very good year =D !

I am called Hanny, but as it’s a bit of a funny name in English…you pronounce it ‘honey’ I will use my official name here..so it’s Joanna!

I am happily married (my married name is ‘van Kuijck’, which can’t be pronounce in English at all) and we have two beautiful children, lucky me!

I live in Kaatsheuvel, the Netherlands. I have my own company in which I work parttime on my ‘fortune’. Helping other people to fulfill their dreams, so I can fulfill mine…

But the thing I love to do most is being creative…in all sorts of ways, whether it is drawing, painting, sculpture, photography or editing these pictures in PhotoShop…I love it all!

But as you can imagine… I lack time to do all those things. That’s why I started this blog because in this way I ‘force’ myself to do at least one of the things I love to do: taking pictures! A couple of months ago I bought myself a brand new camera: CANON EOS 60D and I am soooooo happy with this one. That is the reason I chose photography instead of one of the other things I love to do.

I will try to post each and every day of this year -at least- one picture. The subject of my pictures? For me it was not that hard to make a choice: I chose water, because it always fascinated me… and still does.

Blogging is also a way for me to connect to other photographers and of course to ‘non-photographers’ as well and I hope I will learn a lot from each and every one of them.

Please feel free to help me in my photography-/blog journey with tips and advice.

I really hope you enjoy visiting my blog!

With love, Joanna

update March 9th 2014
As you’ve probably noticed I’ve extended my project…at first I wanted to go on till I had 500 photo’s…posting one photo each day … and now I will continue till number 1000. So far I am very proud of myself keeping my promise to myself and already went from zero till photo number 797! I’ve ‘met’ a lot of wonderful people here and now over 900! people are following my journey…AMAZING! Thank you all for your encouragement!
Up to number 1000!

update March 1st 2018 I had made it until I’ve reached 1218 pictures, posted each and every day. After that I’ve done almost nothing on this blog; lack of time and a lot of personal stuff. Anyway, from today on I will continue my H2O-project. I won’t be posting on a daily basis any more, but I will still post my photo’s with water here and we’ll see how far I will come…I really hope you continue to enjoy these pictures. with love Joanna

I like the idea of daily photos. The ones I saw were very nice (I would say good, but I am not a pro, so not qualified to judge beyond what I like).

I’m trying a post a day as well, but I tend to diversify what I post. More than photography, but the majority is about pictures I take.

I am subscribing because I want to see the water theme played out. I have a few ideas of my own for water-themed pictures, and will eventually get to them.

  Thank you for visiting my blog. I am no pro either…I love taking pictures, but still have to and want to learn a lot. I found your pictures from the hawk marvelous…I wish I can shoot something like that sometime.. Take care and I will follow you as well

    Hmmm . . . perhaps you might want to take a look at the posts I do before subscribing. I have a mix that people sometime find annoying.
    
    Those who know me often ignore my rants (religion, politics, guns, etc) and just look at the writing and photos, but people who don’t know me sometimes get offended.
    
    Just saying you need not follow me just because I followed you.

  I will congratulate you with your nomination, you deserve it! Keep up your good work and I hope we continue to ‘follow’ each other and that you have no hard feelings about this.

  Hi Donald I don’t know what you mean by this? Where did you find my pics? Is it when you search on topics and choose one? Pls help me out here, so maybe I can give you a proper answer..

    Yes I look in tags-photography and you are there two days in a row. I tag all my work and saw myself one single time on like the fifteenth page. I see a lot of mediocre shots there everyday and only hope for a fair shake at getting noticed. I am not on facebook, but i think somehow that helps. are you on facebook?
    
    Reply ↓
    - H2O by Joanna on March 1, 2012 at 22:57 said:
      
      I think you just have to look more quickly after you post one of you pics… I found out that when I post something and properly tagged, and then search on for instance photography you WILL see your picture there on the first page. But everyone who posts something with the same tag, will come before you… So if you look after two hours or something your pic will be shown on page 10 or… I just say a number. Last posts will be shown on first page.
      Hope this is what you wanted to know. Just check it out… Post something and immediately check on tag photography, I am convinced you will see your photo right there on the front page.. 🙂 I am not sure but I don’t think FB has something to do with it.

I like the idea of a theme, just the one topic WATER gives you enormous scope, but also potential for all manner of special shots. I like the water drops on the Spa bottle.

Hi Joanna!

I’m not good at knowing how to link everyone up, and by everyone I mean yourself, Niasunset, myself and george weaver. Just wanted to let you know that I will post the picture of the little squirrel hat that Nia knitted as soon as it arrives…and is presented to the bald squirrel…I have sent Nia a message to see if she would like me to mail her a pair of little “squirrel underpants” that I bought at a store..(I am not kidding!)..so as nia says, “the story continues”. LOL!!!

very nicely done! I have a question — are you a water sign astrologically? (Cancer, Scorpio or Pisces). I’m wondering since – clearly – you love water.

  Astrologically, I am ‘cancer’ … Not sure if that has anything to do with my loving water…it is kinda funny though 😀

    well, you do know that each astrological sign is one of the four elements, and that Cancer is the first water sign, rite? To me, it makes a lot of sense, but I’m a professional numerologist (like being an astrologer without having to figure out geometry.) In any event, your photos are wonderful.

I lived in Holland on and off for many years. The last time being for a period of sixteen years working in Eindhoven and ‘s Hertogenbosch. My mum (who is Dutch), my son and my brother (both English) all live there.
I just happened upon your blog this evening when I searched on ‘H2O’. Your photograph ‘1104 typical Dutch winter :D’ captured a mood that brought back many good memories! I look forward to exploring your blog, and your reasons for choosing water (the most valuable resource on earth) as a topic. Thanks again!
