Piece about my Photography in “Fotografisch Geheugen”
A couple of months back Okke Groot was asking around on Twitter if there was anyone out there working with alternative photographic processes. They had planned to devote an issue of the magazine “Fotografisch Geheugen” to this particular subject. If it wasn’t for Dashdot mentioning me to Okke I would never have known about any of it so she gets lots of credits here (besides that she is a wonderful photographer and has the cutest bunny evar!) Of course also a big thank you to Okke for thinking about me when creating the magazine!

Interview “Basta”
This is where it all started some 2 months ago. Jean Pluis from Basta Maastricht contacted me for an interview for their Maastrichter Cultural Magazine which they planned to bring out on paper again. And so it happened and at the Bastaboat during the Kunsttour this was presented.

Interview “de Limburger”
Last monday “de Limburger” called me after they received a press piece on the exhibition at the Bastaboot during the Kunsttour. They saw me mentioned exhibiting photos made with a process dating back from 1851 and got interested. The lady on the phone asked me if we could meet for an interview. I said..sure!
So, Wednesday we did. I talked about the process and my thoughts behind it and set everything up to actually show it to her as that would tell more than me just explaining everything. So she modelled for me and ended up that morning with a beautiful photo of hers.
And today the interview got published in the news paper! I’m very proud! There are a couple of things missing and incorrectly stated in the interview which I would like to rectify here. First of all; it’s not printed in Silver Sulphate and lavender. Silver Nitrate is used to sensitize the plate and the lavender is only used in the varnish. Secondly; the project of Alexander Simays has nothing to do with my fight against superficiality. It’s just a side step; you have to do something light sometimes.. Thirdly; the place where I exhibit during the Kunsttour is not mentioned. This is at the Bastaboot as can be seen in the post below. Anyway, that was it and I’m very happy with the interview. Now I am a BM-er

Interview for L1 Radio – May 2009
I know this one dates from a while back but when adjusting my “Publications” page on my website to add the interview from the former post I realized the link to the interview I’m about to post was no longer working. I meant to upload the audio file somewhere and fix the link but never got around doing it so…another interview recorded on the occasion of an exhibition at ‘t Patronaat in Heerlen (sorry, Dutch only) together with a good friend and painter Helmut Jöcken. And now I finally have that link!
Contrastique Interview by John Meadows & Ron Larfor
A couple of weeks ago I was invited by John Meadows to be interviewed for the Film Photography Podcast he was making in collaboration with Ron Larfor. I was a bit hesitant at first because the people he had on the show before were a bit older than me, having much more experience than I have. But he persisted and I gladly said yes.
The interview took place on the 13th of February using Skype. Since John resides in Canada, Ron in the States and me in the Netherlands that was the sure way to go. We talked for about half an hour and here’s the result! I have to say I was incredibly nervous during the interview. I settled a bit towards the end but had to go for a walk afterwords to unload In my nervousness I mentioned the developing of the collodion plate taking 15 minutes…of course, this is supposed to be 15 seconds!
Anyway, I hope you enjoy the show and do follow the podcast as they have many more interesting stories to share, now and in the future to come! Thank you again, Ron and John
