trees in the dark (8)


just happened to be there

self portrait September 2010
Last week I've been reading 'Op slot' (Locked) of the Dutch writer J.Bernlef which is about the friendship between a painter and a photographer. 
This novel contains beautiful phrases about painting and photographing and the making of a portrait. Like some photographers that I know and that includes me, the photographer in this book tends to speak about photography as if it were nothing. If anyone makes him a compliment considering his work he says: 'Well, I just happened to be there.'
By reading this book I remembered this photograph which I made more then a year ago. And I thought it may be time to post it here.
