Vanwege Fragmentarische Aard (85) (Because of a Fragmentic Nature (85))

A good photograph has, in my humble opinion, a reality that is some kind of fiction: like novels in which one can still recognize an original, ever existing world, but where the content is fiction. Every resemblance with real persons or a real situation is sheer coincidence.

The other day I was asked if I wasn’t fed up by taking pictures of Diemen again and again. I’m doing it for over 5 years now. It is a sleepy suburb of Amsterdam, with hardly any soul. My family and I live here for seven years now.
The question still triggers me. Why am I doing this. First of all it is very nearby. But the important thing for me is that it is a perfect playground for slowly developing my vision at landscape and landscape photography.

How much is needed to create a photograph that has an interesting composition and that is personal and that tells the viewer something about life in Diemen and that causes some tension in the atmosphere of the image and that has some strange details some times and that the seasons are changing and that and so on……
(to me the arrow on the cycling path in left down corner at the upper picture is such an intriguing detail)

This is another experiment in combining the image of advertisement posters with everyday street life (& my shadow)

Nite & Silence -31

Essentially the night is just a big black box in which all kinds of things exist. Things which are natural as well as things which are made by man . Sometimes these things become visible, mostly by artificial light. A feeling of disorientation arises. One knows there's something out there, but it stays invisible. What's waiting in the dark?

(Close your curtains, darken your room to fully enjoy these photographs!)

Being in a city, advertisement posters play a great part in our visual world. So why not give them a role in our photographs? Interesting visual stories can be the result.

Birds in the photograph, it cannot be denied that Autumn is coming and that some birds are leaving for the warm South. Meanwhile the cars cozily stay at the parking lot.

If surrealism can be defined as a combination of several realities resulting into a new reality, photography is a perfect tool to create surrealism.
