Vanwege Fragmentarische Aard (126) Because of a Fragmentic Nature (126)

It is a strange phenomena in shopping areas. Shopping windows often show signs and letters instead of beautiful articles. And sometimes visitors of restaurants are eating in the shopping window.

Diemer Plek # 65 (Sites from Diemen NL # 65)

Some people wonder if I am still working on my series about Diemen, my home town. Well, I can reassure them, I am still working on it.

Gradually the way I am depicting this suburb is changing.  I used to make some kind of topographic images. Nowadays I tend to make photographs which I call controlled snapshots. They are like postcards, but with subjects which are unusual for postcards.

A funny thing about working a long time (6 years now) on Sites from Diemen is that not only my photographic vision changes, but also the town itself.  I captured spots which changed radically, or even disappeared.
