    Fotografie gaat in de basis over het vastleggen van dierbare momenten en herinneringen voor later. Sinds ik terug ben in Nederland na tien jaar gewoond te hebben in Azië, stuitte ik onlangs op een paar verhuisdozen met fotografie negatieven in mijn storage box. Kortom mijn archief. Schatkisten met herinneringen en vervlogen momenten. Vastgelegd op films.…

    Street Photography and how it can make you a better photographer.
