My name is Ron Buist. I live in a village called Ten Boer in the northern part of the The Netherlands. I married Martine in 2001 and we now have three daughters: Nienke (born May 2004), Inge (born August 2006) and Ellis (born September 2008).

When I started this journal in October 2009, I wrote that if anything, it is about the progress compact digital cameras have made. I didn't know anything about photography. I always used the automatic settings of my Kodak DX 7590.

Since then, things have changed somewhat. I got myself a Canon EOS 500d and used 2010 to learn more about photography. I can honestly say that because of Blipfoto, the way I take pictures has changed and it's making me see the world in a different way.

Since then, I have become a semi-professional photographer, combining a "normal" job with paid photography assignments, workshops and selling photos. Since September 2019, I am also a guide for photography holidays both in The Netherlands and abroad, allowing me to visit beautiful locations and teach photography.
