just happened to be there

self portrait September 2010
Last week I've been reading 'Op slot' (Locked) of the Dutch writer J.Bernlef which is about the friendship between a painter and a photographer. 
This novel contains beautiful phrases about painting and photographing and the making of a portrait. Like some photographers that I know and that includes me, the photographer in this book tends to speak about photography as if it were nothing. If anyone makes him a compliment considering his work he says: 'Well, I just happened to be there.'
By reading this book I remembered this photograph which I made more then a year ago. And I thought it may be time to post it here.

dreams and desire

De heer K. Aland
“Ik wou dat ik een vogel was;
vrijuit zou ik overal langs scheren,
niets zou mij meer of minder deren,
ik zou niet weten van dood of tijd.
Voor alles ruimschoots gelegenheid.”

Simon Vinkenoog
