WALKING THE SEASONS - A 2019 EXHIBITION
For quite a number of years already I have walked around my village and surrounding countryside, enjoying the beauty of nature and regularly stopping for a photo opp. Sometimes long hikes, more often walks of between one and two hours long.
I have now prepared an exhibition of collages of these "walking the seasons"-pictures, in which I tried to combine them thematically: geografical, seasonal, natural, formal, etc.
If there is one common denominator it seems to me that all photo''s fall under so-called lyrical photography, celebrating the diverse beauty of my surroundings: the northern side of the old border region of Westerwolde. All pictures were shot between 2005 and 2018, many with my successive cell phones, others with a small compact camera. Some of them have of course featured here on flickr in the past as individual uploads.
Of the 21 collages I made, sixteen (in 50cm x50cm frames) will be shown in a lunchroom gallery in a neighboring village between April 1st and mid June of this year.
The subject of this first collage is the small forest with ponds and stream where I walk most often: the Veendiepsbos, no more than twenty minutes hiking from my home.
