Diemer Plek # 74 (Sites from Diemen NL # 74)

This winter there’s a lot of bare soil in Diemen, Holland. Combined with bare trees and wintry skies this is giving gloomy feelings.

Up: During a couple of years Diemen is reinventing its center. A new shopping mall has been built and now many parks are being reconstructed. I know one day it will be green again but now it is a very sad sight. Diemen, Oranjelaan, 14/1/8, 3.46 pm

Under: At the same time the motor highway which divides Diemen in two parts is being widened. Many trees are destroyed. Here there will be no new green. Only concrete and cars. Diemen, Kanaaldijk, 14/1/2, 2.47 pm

2014!!

From Diemen Holland: A strong and healthy 2014 to you all!!

Vanwege Fragmentarische Aard (132) Because of a Fragmentic Nature (132)

As you may know, as a photographer I’m fond to peep into shopping window and to combine fragments of posters, reflections, passers-by etcetera into the frame of one picture. To me this can result into photographs with a strong graphic design, which also contain some surreal tendencies.

Things that weren’t meant to come together do have an encounter in the picture. Only in just a recorded split second. The genius of photography.

Up: Amsterdam 13/12/01 4.33 pm.

workshop

“Het Landschap, stad en land” is de titel van een workshop die ik komend voorjaar ga geven in het Amsterdams Centrum voor Fotografie.  Heb je niets te doen op donderdagavond en wil je je (verder) verdiepen in het fotografisch weergeven van je waarneming en ervaren van landschap, dan ben je van harte welkom.
