I’d get the ‘no flash’ one, obviously, but am afraid they’d take me for a hippie.

Damn good show too. Not a single original note perhaps, but comforting in its familiarity.

Erwin Olaf: “Adversity breeds beauty”

Erwin Olaf Interview from Katharina on Vimeo.

I don’t have a lot of Dutch heroes. The two that I have are both photographers. Erwin Olaf is one of them. VPRO television aired a marathon interview with this 51 year old photographer this evening, in which he talked about his work and various tv, film and documentary fragments that meant something to him. He came intelligent, humble, inspired and passionate. Feedback on Twitter re: the show and Erwin was extremely positive (#1 trending topic) all evening and went into overdrive during his fiery rant near the end of the show, in which he called for people to unite, be brave and strike back at the growing intolerance and violence against gay men and women in our nation’s capital in particular.

U2 in Frankfurt and Hannover, August 2010

Posted via email from Caroline

25 years I’ve been following this band and every time I think ‘ok, that’s enough’, they’ll come and surprise me. Miraculously coming back on the road some 10 weeks after Bono’s spinal surgery seems to have rekindled their love of performing. I don’t remember seeing such joy and enthusiasm on a U2 stage. I’ve seen ‘driven’, ‘intense’, ‘run of the mill’. But ‘joyous’ is another thing. Myself and friends went to Frankfurt and Hannover to see them play and both nights were uplifting and exciting and.

In Hannover I managed to get access to the band’s sounddesk for me and my friends. It’s got a little stage in front of it where guests of the band can watch the show. It’s the best place in terms of view and sound. And gawk at luminaries. We got the German Bundespraesident. I know… rock and roll, right? But Wim Wenders was there too. We all sang ‘Happy birthday’ to the man.

Brett Anderson, Utrecht, January 24, 2010

Enjoyed Brett Anderson’s show at the Tivoli (De Helling) in Utrecht. Of the good: He’s not as aloof as he was in the past. Voice as strong as ever. Has stopped twirling his microphone. Of the bad: He’s been writing the same songs for the past 20 years. He needs to eat a few hamburgers.

All in a day’s work

My photos from TEDx Amsterdam 2009. I’m reasonably happy, but I obviously have a lot to learn re: workflow and keeping the colours consistent. There was one other photographer who was using flash. An ordinary one and a ring flash. Now that I see some of her stuff I am more inclined to learn how to use flash (this one’s good.)
