    we relate to our environment?

    Parades preview
    .
    Time for another preview. This one is an extract from the Cultuurhistorische optocht (Culturalhistory parade) at Heeze. This specific float
      and performance are based on the story of the Flying Dutchman; a former VOC-ship turned into a ghostship by a devils curse.

      Updates on the 'Parades' project
      .
      I'd like to keep you all posted about the progress regarding the Parades project. But, since I don't want to give away too much, and with
      already quite a selection online, I decided to post one image every few parades in the news section.
      There are already quite a few parades I photographed of which you do not yet know, so I better start right away. March this year I visited
      four Carnival / Mardi Gras parades, of which the image below is a result.

        Publication 'PIOn Magazine'
        .
        During November and December 2009 I followed the Amsterdam based youth circus 'Circus Elleboog' (Circus Elbow) during their repetitions
        for a show in Royal Theatre Carré. The pictures were made following an assignment from 178 Aardige Ontwerpers, who used them for a
        publication from 'de Alliantie', a large housing association in The Netherlands.
