On the Zuidas, in the south of Amsterdam, an open air exhibition called Paris Street View opened recently. Michael Wolf took pictures of his monitor on which he used Google Maps street view functionality to look at the streets of Paris. Here are two snaps I took of this exhibition.

Walking around in the business district near my neighborhood yesterday afternoon I saw this scene: strict architectural lines, a knotty tree crown and the moon. I was walking around the area because of a photo exhibition by Michael Wolf called Paris Street View. More about that in another post.

Yesterday I received the intriguing photo book of Bernard Fuchs called “Roads and Paths“. When I was in my early teens I would often fantasize about where a path or road would lead to. Some of these ancient roads would lead to other continents of over high mountains, up to the top, where they would end. This books show roads and paths, small, hidden or unclear and indecisive.
Today I walked to a nearby park when I saw a car track which was filled with pieces of ice. This brought my mind back to the book, which I bought after only having a look at the front cover and reading the title. After not making photos for some weeks I finally took a couple, one of them you can see below.

Snow in the Netherlands. Just a little, many people would say, but the whole infrastructure is out of order. For many kids it is great fun since their holidays started this weekend.

As part of my Curbstone project I took some curbstone photos with my Voigtlander 15mm lens on a Leica M8. More results can be seen in the Curbstone gallery.

In these days of “everything sharp” photos I felt this photo fitted perfectly with the mood I sensed in Paris.

Part of the Louvre are lots of places where you can just enjoy Paris and look at other people. Le Cafe Marly surely is one of them. To look at the people looking at other people is just as much fun!

Walking along the Seine river I saw this man looking at me. He must have been there for a long time already.
