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.

the tree of miracles

In the dunes of Voorne there is a tree which is known as the tree of miracles. This enormous tree completely fell down during a storm, but after that it still kept on growing and every spring it becomes green again.
