Joris Kijkt: Noor van Schaik
After a brief hiatus while I was on assignment in Chile, my photo feature in Universiteitskrant Groningen is back this week with a photo of Noor van Schaik.

Joris Kijkt: Gert van Oortmerssen

Since a quick round-trip to the Arctic didn’t quite, erhm… fit the budget, I photographed him while practicing another passion [...]
