Metsovon is the capital of the vlachi Under a platan tree i made this picture so i could use the shadow!
in'' las palmas '' nederlands fotomuseum in rotterdam. handcoulored by his assistant jana chocholakova
nothing is more gratefull than making children photos. Especially when they see tha authenticy of the procedure! they expect any moment to explode the magnesium.
Also a failure ,because de left girl is half visible.[besides the scratches] due to that fact I kept at least a picture for my self,since I sell the original and no negative is left over! By working that evening I have the feeling; a total new audience has discovered me. Untill now, I only worked at big parties all over Holland where noise [music] is the all over dominating factor. These kind of people you see for example on the picture gave my work [vocation as I would call it] the respect I secretly always wanted to receive. Maybe it is about time I start with my small studio at last. the Idea then is to offer my clients entertainment ,by offering them an oriental atmosphere including some raki, turkish fruit, a nargileh and involving them into the photographical procedure,including the handcolouring of the photo. PS Many Amsterdam people remember the chinees photographer who handcoloured his photos [dappermarkt] about ten years ago. His handycraft however was that superior that i never could be a match for him!.
