Joco @ the Rijksmuseum

Well, close to it anyway :-)

Finally all museums on the Museumplein in Amsterdam (Rijksmuseum, Van Gogh, Stedelijk Museum) are open! And many visitors seize the opportunity to look at some incredible art. And to top this of, on Sunday the 12th of May a large design market was organized (check out the website for more dates). And I was lucky to get a stand there.

Despite the cold weather, it was a nice day. I met lots of people and talked about photography, trains and the rules and laws concerning photographing in the public space.

Next up - Pure Markt in Amsterdam Oost on the 26th of May. The details are here. It would be great to see you there!

Cats in Transvaal

We started a little project in our neighborhood bringing people together through their love for cats. 'Katten in Transvaal' has a Facebook page to share stories and pictures and the idea is that I make pictures of cats and owners. Later we'll have an exhibition with prints of the photos.

It turn out to be a very nice experience. We meet all kinds of people and their cats and hear lots of interesting stories. Or the special tricks that the cats have up their sleeves. One cat frequently makes saltos. Or take this red hair named Roester - his owner regularly takes him outside for a walk. Even on a busy street, he follows, almost like a dog. Amazing.

Btw., we even made it in the local newspaper!
