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.

Photographer John Davies from the UK.

Dutch photographer Jan Dirk van der Burg.

A few days ago I re-viewed the Vía PanAm project from Kadir van Lohuizen. The Dutch photographer documented a journey from the very south of South-America to the most northern point of the American continent, crossing 15 countries. The project of the trip of 40 weeks is a great piece of work. The images, the video and the texts work perfectly together.

I had the original iPad app on my iPad 1 (or so) but it does not seem to work on the newer versions of the iPad. Fortunately there is the Via PanAm in which the app is simulated.

UK street photographer Stephen Leslie started a new Youtube channel on (street) photography. The first two episodes strangely seem to have boldness as an important ingredient. The episode are nevertheless very interesting. Let's hope for more.
