Source text - English By 1631, when he was only about fourteen years old, XXX began a sketchbook of landscape drawings in which he depicted buildings in Zwolle and farmsteads in the surrounding countryside. These remarkably precocious pen and ink drawings, which demonstrate great compositional sensitivity, understanding of perspective, and ability to capture effects of light and shade, are in many ways stylistically related to the vedute his father had made in Italy during the first decade of the seventeenth century. In other respects, however, they are entirely different. Not only are they more loosely handled, they depict local buildings and settings, subjects that his father never attempted to record.
Translation - Dutch In 1631, toen hij net veertien jaar oud was, begon XXX een schetsboek bij te houden met landschapstekeningen van gebouwen in Zwolle en boerderijen in de omgeving. Deze pen- en inkttekeningen gaven blijk van een enorm talent.
Er sprak een enorm gevoel voor compositie uit, een begrip van wat perspectief is en een vermogen om met licht en schaduw te spelen. De stijl was in veel opzichten verwant aan de gedetailleerde stads- en vergezichten, ook wel vedute genoemd, die zijn vader in het eerste decennium van de 17e eeuw in Italië had gemaakt. In andere opzichten waren ze echter volkomen verschillend. Ze waren niet alleen veel losser getekend, het waren ook gebouwen, landschappen en onderwerpen die zijn vader nooit had vastgelegd.

Bio
“Translating is not about knowing the words, it’s about knowing the right words and the right tone. These cannot be found in a dictionary.”
How I see my profession
It is a common misconception to assume that everybody who is bilingual or speaks a language other than his or her mother tongue, can translate or proofread. Translating/proofreading is a profession, only to be mastered through hard work and training.
Very short Bio
I moved from Amsterdam to Montreal in 2001. In Amsterdam I have worked in the field of film and television for more than 15 years — as director, scriptwriter, script editor, line producer and translator.
In Montreal I work fulltime as a freelance translator English to Dutch and German to Dutch and as a proofreader Dutch.
