Travel Photo #9

February 26.

I had to kill some time at Utrecht Central Station, so I walked for a while around the shopping mall next to the station. I passed a traverse and looking through the windows at the underneath passing rush hour traffic I saw the beautiful combination of the red tail lights of the cars and the reflection of the shopping windows and the rushing people in the traverse. I love this magic, which becomes visible by the power of the one-eyed King, the photo camera. Utrecht, 6.50 pm.

February 11.

Coming back from a late appointment I found the Amsterdam Central Station almost completely deserted. Creepy atmosphere. Amsterdam 10.42 pm.

Square format gives strange dimensions to an everyday place! I love to watch people from above. Amsterdam Arena Station, 3.03 pm.

I am a winner!

Travelling around in Germany on a photagraphic trip I recieved 
a message I was a winner in the Photographic Mastercup for 
this year. For Fashion!! And I was a nominee in Fine Art.
Of course I felt very proud. Go to:

As I told before, just letters are to me miraculous signs. In itself they have no meaning, they just look odd. Amsterdam, 13/09/23, 10.25pm

Reflections and content of a shopping window. Only a photograph can combine this into one subject. Amsterdam, 13/09/28, 1.42pm

On the move again

I love to sit in a train watching the world go by. The combination of movement & light & the reflection of the train interior in the compartment window sometimes results in strange, alienating, almost surreal photographs.

Vanwege Fragmentarische Aard (117) Because of a Fragmentic Nature (117)

One the things I’m attracted to lately: Small human figures in a spatial environment. I’m using also reflections and overexposed areas in the photograph to emphasize a feeling of strangeness.

I am using just small compact cameras for doing this, fully aware of the fact that I cannot print the pictures at a size of 3 x 4 meters. But what the heck? If the idea bind the photo is ok, size doesn’t really matter. It’s the idea that counts, not the size stupid!

That’s 1 of the things I really like about Belgian stations: the slightly surrealistic atmosphere you can find everywhere, if you just look around.
