New on the bookshelf
Thank you Germany! Next to having two great trips in you're country - you also had some great photobooks on Sale.
In Hamburg i found a copy of Lee Friedlanders Sticks and Stones. I'm a big fan of Lee freedlander, a American documantary photographer who had his breaktrough in the 70's, and is actually still alive (he is 76 and still rocking!!!). Having first seen his work in Canada, I became very interested in his own unique way of seeing the world. His photographs of everyday architectural america are chaotic and disorientating, but also witty, clever and layered at the same time. (If you dont know his work, i recommend checking it out, start with this link)
This is one of the many images in the book that I find very inspiring.
The other book I found is by Beate Gutschow. She constructs large scale landscape photographs out of many different images she collected. These landscapes are constructed according to rules of 18th century landscape painting - so they become sort of romantic non excisting landscapes. The book also features a very interesting black and white series of constructed citys. You can find some of her work here

Holliday stop will be over soon....
I sort of held a - unannounced - holiday stop on my blog. Not that I did'nt do anything of interest. - but I just didn't find the right inspiration to write everything down! So in short:
Sanberg starting in September (Too soon!!) I need to move to Amsterdam (Vacant room anyone?) just came back from Hamburg (PHOTOS!)..... and finally got a scanner (but we are not good friends yet.)
But with the pouring rain oustide (Aren't Dutch summers great) I think inspiration will come sooner or later.... hopefully.

Welcome to 2010
I feel a little bit behind as a photographer, owning no single digital camera.......up to now.
This state of the art 3.2 megapixel, double battery powered monster from 1997 might seem a little outdated - but does the job. (At least, I hope it will) I hope to add some "illustrational" pics to my blog more often now....
