Portrait of my father

Yesterday I took photos for my cousins husband for an advertisement brochure. He has a business for crane services, which means he does almost everything on huge electronic cranes in factories of all kind. We went to his factory to take the photos and my father came with us. This is where this portrait has been taken.

Two Way Lens and Susan Wides

Two Way Lens proudly presents Susan Wides

I am happy and excited that another wonderful photographer is now part of Two Way Lens.

I came across Susan's work through my friend Jan Harrison and immediately fell in love with it.

I emailed Susan and she agreed to do the interview. After this, we exchanged many emails and we planned to meet while I was in New York. Unfortunately the timeframe was to tight and Susan was very busy. But next time we will make it for sure.

Susan, thank you for being part of Two Way Lens!!

Please check out Susan's website, you will find many more fantastic projects there.

Me on Gallerystock

Thank you to Kate Barrett from Gallerystock for writing about the upcoming show at Stricola Contemporary, New York. on their blog

I joined Gallerystock a few months ago. When I first saw their line up of photographers I was totally impressed. They have the cream of the cream of the worlds best photographers.

After they contacted me and wanted to have me on board, I thought, No, it can't be true. But I signed the contract and am happy about it.

I am happy that another wonderful photographer is part of my project.

I fell in love with Terri's work after seeing her books Hunter Green and Snake Eyes. Unfortunately both books are sold out and only available on the secondary market for a huge amount of money.

It was a real pleasure to get in touch with Terri for this project and exchange emails with her.

Please visit Two Way Lens and find out what Terri has to say.

Terri's work is to find here and here
