Regarding Iron Lines/Omtrent IJzeren Lijnen (2)

 1992. I am sitting in my new workspace annex darkroom next to a railway bridge over the a canal in Amsterdam East. A train thumps down the rails about every five minutes. The sound fascinates me. I grab my Nikon with the 20mm, put a low-sensitivity film in it, take a tripod, go outside and stroll along the railway embankment. At the end of the walk I take this picture. A new series is born: Iron Lines. This photo will be on display as a vintage print at the exhibition “Regarding Iron Lines” in Gallery WM in Amsterdam from 2024/1/19 to 2024/2/17. Photo: Amsterdam, 1992/09/10.

Regarding Iron Lines/ Omtrent IJzeren Lijnen

 This is one of the many photos I took and will take in a train compartment. From 19/01 2024 to 17/02 2024 I will show photos out of the magic world of train travel, railway lines, passengers and stations in the exhibition "Regarding Iron Lines" in Gallery WM in Amsterdam. A photographic show of analogue black and white vintage prints from the 90s of the previous century as well as digital color prints from 2023.

 Photo from my show "Shop window in the Shop window". 

Invitation!!

Meet & Greet the photographer! Friday, April 8 from 4 to 6 pm! Welcome!

Exhibition!!

Photos!!

 “Shop window in the Shop window”

When: March 17, 2022 to April 25, 2022.

Where: Raamgalerie Filmstudio Franjo, 2-e van der Helststraat 41, 1073 AH Amsterdam

Open: Daily, 9am to 11pm.

Fashion stores, jewelers, bakers, McDonalds, travel agencies, garages, museums, galleries, souvenir shops, department stores, hotels and much more. Photographer Jaap Bijsterbosch walks by and always looks at the shop window through the viewfinder of his camera. He sometimes registers the content or message of the shop window, but also often the interplay between the shop window and the environment in which the shop window is located. Through the single lens of the camera, the street scene reflected in the shop window can be combined with the contents of the shop window to create alienating images, often with a poetic or surreal slant. Bijsterbosch also has no objection whatsoever to giving his own reflection in the window pane an important role as a (determining) element.

-Castle in Diemen-

(Often when I go out into my hometown Diemen, the somewhat sleepy suburb of Big City Amsterdam, I take my camera with me. I try to capture accidental beauty and sometimes unplanned alienation of the banal aspects of the everyday scenery. I started to do this from 2004, the year we came to live here, at first in black and white, from 2006 in color.)
