One of my photos (V 174) from the Regelbau series is part of an exhibition at the the UNESCO headquarters in Paris. It’s part of a group exhibition of the Alfred Fried Photography Award 2015. The HQ is located at 7 Place de Fontenoy. Take a picture for me if you’re passing by! 🙂

A selection of my Regelbau series can be seen in the Haags Historisch Museum until the 24th of June. Visitors of the Bunkerdag on 4 June can visit the museum for free with their ticket. On this Saturday several bunkers along the Dutch coast are opened to the public. Some of them are only accessible on this day!
Vandaag is het precies 76 jaar geleden dat het centrum van Rotterdam door het Duitse bombardement grotendeels werd verwoest.
Veel puin werd gebruikt om waterwegen te dempen zoals de Blaak, de Rotterdamse Schie en de Schiedamsesingel. Er was echter zoveel puin dat er in de stad zelf geen plek meer was. Het puin (of de puin zoals ze het in Rotterdam soms zeggen) is heel het land door gegaan en gebruikt voor verschillende bouwprojecten. Fotografe Marlies Lageweg documenteerde op prachtige wijze de landschappen waar het het puin terecht is gekomen en ‘portretteerde’ brokken vernietigd Rotterdam.
De foto is genomen door een Duitse soldaat in augustus 1940. Puin wordt in de Maas gedumpt. Op de achtergrond is het Noordereiland zichtbaar met rechts het Hulstkamp gebouw. Rotterdam was een geliefde toeristische trekpleister voor de bezetter.

Like every 4th of May, I’ve visited Kornwerderzand again to attend the Dodenherdenking.
Since 2012, I’ve made it a tradition to visit Kornwerderzand on the Afsluitdijk every Dodenherdenking (Remembrance of the Dead in the Netherlands) on the 4th of May. Because it’s a site with great history: here the Dutch army had some succes in preventing the Germans from breaking through the defence lines in May 1940. Because my mother’s roots are in Friesland, and it’s probably in my blood somewhere (although I don’t speak Frysian). And because of the absolute silence here with the IJsselmeer on one side of the 32 km long Afsluitdijk, and the Waddenzee is on the other. The photographs are a voluntary job for the Kazemattenmuseum Kornwerderzand.

Graffiti op een fietspad even buiten Utrecht. Premier Rutte ligt onder vuur. Hij zou een manager zijn, die de BV Nederland bestuurt. Geen premier voor het volk. Iemand durfde zijn of haar ongerief niet op een prominente muur in het centrum te schrijven? Of kreeg hier spontaan het idee om premier Rutte een NSBer te noemen? Punt.
At the occasion of the General Conference-38th Session on 3 November 2015 the UNESCO main entrance was decorated with the winning images of the Alfred Fried Photography Award 2015.
One of my photos from the Regelbau series can be seen from 3 November – 18 November 2015 at 7 Place de Fontenoy in Paris.

Lots of police in the Dutch city of Utrecht yesterday. The German anti-islam movement Pegida protested in the Dutch city of Utrecht. An anti-movement of International Socialists was present as well. A couple of hundred of protesters got into small fights. According to the police about 10 protesters were arrested.
Last week I was invited as one of the five winners of the Alfred Fried Photography Award 2015 (world’s best photo on the theme of peace) to Vienna for the award ceremony. I participated with my photoseries Regelbau about German World War Two fortifications along the coasts of Europe. The final 10.000 euro grand prize for the winning picture was awarded to Belgian photographer Patricia Willocq with her series Look at me, I’m beautiful. My congratulations to her!
It was an inspiring evening with important speakers of which one was Nobel Peace Prize Laureate Kailash Satyarthi who flew in from New Delhi just for the ceremony! Photojournalist and gifted speaker Giles Duley spoke in name of the International Press Institute who dedicate themselves to the furtherance and safeguarding of press freedom. Afterwards we had dinner with all winners, organisations, jury and sponsors. It was quite impressive to meet some of the big people in photography. A special thank you to Edition Lammerhuber which is the organiser of this great initiative, and managed to gather so much people from within the field of photography to support this prize as a jury member.
It was also great to meet one of my mentors again. For the first time since I assisted Gerd Ludwig in 2009 on an assignment in Amsterdam we met again, which was great fun. Between all the official moments he even had time for a very short masterclass. We will meet again, I’m sure of that.
If you are a photographer, do join the competition next year!
And take a look at the work of the other winners of this year: Dmitry Leltschuk, David Martin Huamani Bedoya and Carla Kogelman.
