Snowboots & Armani Suits

I recieved some questioning looks in the Train yesterday morning. Maybe it had to do with the fact that I looked like an Eskimo. I carefully collected Gloves, a Hat, three sweaters, snowboots, Weatherproof-Suitcases and more keep-me-warm-and-dry accessories the Night before. It's Cold in the Netherlands, and I thought I'd better dress appropriate if I wanted to spend the day outside. I was an Eskimo with a mission.

I explored the idea of what would happen if I film the things that I would normally Photograph. So I spend the Whole day at the Amsterdam Bussiness distric the "South Axis" (Amsterdam Zuidas), pretending that my big HDV Camera was a Rolleiflex (Ok, that took some imagination)

I sort of felt misplaced between all the expensive Cappuchino's (E 2.75) and Armani Suits (It was rather sunny and no snow, so maybe it was the Eskimo Outfit again?) But Video cameras are also not very welcome anymore near any WTC or Bank. It was a really different experience from walking around with my Rolleiflex and taking photos. And it was also really tough. Because something that works as a still, does not necessarily work in Video.

I've now collected over an hour of Footage, ranging from Architectual shots to people. I'm not really sure what the next step is, but I'd like to add some "Fictional" shots to it. Here are some rough stills from what I shot, that Ironicly - are still-images again - and so completely irrelevant to any intention of this new experiment. ( But still you can see that it could be one of my photos, maybe)
