As I was browsing through my archive anyway, I also picked some photo’s for an exhibition next june. The idea is to show the Bommelerwaard – the region where I live – through photo’s made by its inhabitants. Nice idea!   I went for the picturesque, like I used to before goining to art school. Where they taught me that aesthetic and picturesque were swear words, and the desire to make something beautiful was out of date. A notion I’m still wrestling with.
