Ever since I’m back in the Netherlands, I’m flirting with the idea to document the nation I call home. As small as it is, the Netherlands is an interesting country. It’s a place where many cultures meet, a place with a rich (art) history and a place that WAS praised for its total football skills.
I’m planning on using a 35mm. analogue camera, turning my head away from all the megapixels, red-eye reduction systems and everything else that makes you forget the true art that is photography. Other than my choice of equipment, I have no clue. What type of film? Black & White, or Colour? Where will I go? And most importantly, FUNDING???
Anyway.
The following frames are taken with a 35-year-old Fujica. The camera still belongs to my mother, as she was the one who paid 600 Guilders (240 Euro’s) for it when she was 16.
