For many reasons I was not able to make it to SEAF, where three of my works were exhibited. It was really nice to spot one in the wonderful video above. Since that particular picture is not on my site yet, I am posting it below.

I am currently working on a Dutch blog. It is far from finished but I have already posted a few pages.
Additionally I am working on the translation of the interface and a links directory. (Yes, I know there is a Dutch WordPress, but it is a little behind in updates.)

I believe it was in the late 1970s when I was part of a team of journalists as a photographer to interview Canadian born singer, poet and novelist Leonard Cohen. He was not in a very talkative mood and he had a hard time with cameras being pointed at him. Actually his Dutch record distributor had made up a list of so many restrictions that I just looked over the shoulder of a colleague for a minute or two to head home again without taking one single picture. I was more than disappointed. I knew most of his lyrics by heart and for some reason I had thought he would read that off my face, allowing me to come closer with my camera. Instead a security guard pushed me to the back row. When I found this early interview on YouTube I realized how Cohen had become the demanding artist he was by the time I first saw him many years later.
