Maarten's homepage

This website contains a selection from the 1500 or so photographs that I took during my stay in Paris from May 1996 to May 1998 and my subsequent visits. I am ordering them into rather arbitrary themes and hope to add more in the near future. So if you're interested, please return now and then to see what's new.

If you're interested in more sites related to my world, have a look at my brother's site: Wouters Third Home. When he visited me in Paris, he took some pictures too: Maarten's Second City. The research group I work in as a molecular biologist is called Genexpress and it's part of Leiden University. I live in Den Haag, also known as The Hague or La Haye. My primary school was the Houtrustschool. It was there that I met my friend Frank Faber, who has now created a web site about The Avengers.

Here are some lists of collections "for private use":

Oh, and my name is Maarten de Smit.
