 Just walking in like here at "het Hert" in Naarden for lunch because it can be done again.

Second visit photo FotoFestival Naarden

Went yesterday to see the part that was somewhat outside Naarden in an abandoned greenhouse complex nearby. My previous visit can be found here.

The nice thing was that some of the participating photographers were present to explain their own work.

 

Here is Suzanne Valkenburg with whom I had a nice conversation about her documentary series "As a bird so free", an ode to the maligned culture of caravan dwellers. Usually banished to the outskirts of the city and somehow kept out of sight, they turn out to be home to a very warm community. She is currently working on a book on the subject and is still looking for enthusiasts. Warmly recommended.

It's possible again.

 A visit to a nice exhibition like here the photo festival in Naarden

A chance meeting of Bieke Depoorter (Magnum photographer) with Agata, in a strip club in Paris, produces a fascinating series of photographs. On display in the Grote Kerk of Naarden

Also many pictures in the ramparts of Naarden fortress like here pictures from Eva Roefs who photographed the heads of prominent residents of the red light district in Amsterdam. Must say that the location sometimes made demands on the hobby photographer who tries to capture it all without flash.

A few years ago photo festival Naarden

 It didn't work out last year and it won't work out again this year. Have to wait another year otherwise we would have gone today.
