Great scene when he somewhat nervously takes a full frontal picture of a couple trying to find their way in NYC. He seems just as surprised as I was with their reaction, when they gently halt him and ask him for directions, and totally ignore him taking their picture.
He seems a very nice dude too.
Today I went to the Gemeentemuseum for the second time to see Erwin Olaf's retrospective. In honour of his sixtieth birthday, the Fotomuseum Den Haag and the Gemeentemuseum have organised a combined retrospective.
Last time, we started in the Fotomuseum. Olaf's early photos are on display here. This is generally the rawer work, mostly black and white. In the Gemeentemuseum, the more stylised work of the older Erwin Olaf is exhibited. Top work, related to Jeff Wall and Gregory Crewdson.
I cannot stop browsing for Erik Kessels stuff...
