Near the end of the summer, I was asked by the publishers of Popular Science magazine to produce a visualization piece that explored the archive of their publication. PopSci has a history that spans almost 140 years, so I knew there would be plenty of material to draw from. Working with Mark Hansen, I ended up making a graphic that showed how different technical and cultural terms have come in and out of use in the magazine since it's inception.

"He wanted her at any cost."
1955; Blondes are my Trouble by Martin Brett, (Pseudonym of Douglas Sanderson). Cover art by Owen Kampen.
Youth find the Rijksmuseum one of the ten most popular attractions in the Netherlands. The Anne Frank House ranks lower than the top 10. This is the conclusion of a brand study conducted by, amongst others, the University of Amsterdam (UvA). The research has been around since 2010 and was also conducted among youth between 4 and 18 years old in 2017 for the first time. 800 boys and girls were asked which outings they know at all. Of these outings, it was then checked what the young people think.
The Rijksmuseum is in 10th place on the list. This while the museum was still in 25th place in 2017. The Rijksmuseum is the most popular museum for youth from the age of 9. And the interest among this group has increased enormously in two years. It is clear that all the attention that the museum gives to it education policy is bearing fruit.
But now back to the somewhat rhetorical question: who has fun under observance of who?
Is it me, watched or caught by the teacher of the Rijks? Or the teacher, radiating to me how much fun see has with teaching these children? Or perhaps the persons in the artwork onlooking this primary school class creating works of art themselves.
You tell me…
Technical stuff
This single shot is part of a small burst on the old motor drive setting. As the lighting in this part of the Rijks is not very favourable for photography, I downgraded the shutter speed as much as possible. The Fuji XT does very well under low lighting, but if you can downplay it a bit more, why not. So, I use the technique of bursting to overcome the little vibration of the camera while pressing the shutter button. By holding the button the third and fourth photo are less influenced by this vibration. Then is becomes, depending on the movement of the subjects to take rather steady photo at 2500ISO, F5.0, 1/25, -2/3 at 16 mils.
Post-production was done with a little help of Lightroom. I fiddled a little with the clarity tool and the luminance setting. Finally, I added some copyright signs (in PS). The latter is, alas, there to stay due to the fact that my photos were frequently copied. So, don't bother commenting on that.
