Kerstzegels

Seasonsgreetings from Holland go into an envelop with a special stamp. Every year a designer/illustrator has the honour of designing these Christmasstamps. This year it was Jet van der Horst.

psychoPEDIA

I love to stumble upon surprises while I'm surfing on the net. "MY TOWN" stories was one of those surprises. You'll find them at psychoPEDIA. Not a blogtitle I would go to immediately .

However, curious to the best adress In Buenos Aires to eat steak, the name 647 dinnerclub kept appearing. It's owner, Terry Walshe, is one of the "MY TOWN" storytellers. One thing leads to another.

The best way to describe psychoPEDIA is to find in "about us". :

psychoPEDIA is a multi-media platform for an array of creative contributors to showcase their work, in turn giving readers and viewers behind-the-scenes access to their worlds.

CRISIS, WHAT CRISIS ?

urban outfitters

One of the most important discoveries that my daughter did in New York the last few days is the Urban Outfitters Store. Supercool. They have everything an eightteen year old can wish for. Ofcourse I googeld to see for myself. mmmm some things I like but I think I belong to another targetgroup. So much is clear.

Emma in New York, the first day

the best of NY

Since a part of me is in NY these days I'm drawn to whatever the world wide web tells me about the Big Apple. For example the Best of New York site is a joy to travel virtually.

New York

Tomorrowmorning at 9.15 am, my Emma will be sitting in the plain that takes her to NY. I'll travel with her virtually. The next nine days a part of me will be in the big apple.

Helen Levitt

FOAM, the museum for photography in Amsterdam, where I work, just opened an exposition of the work of Helen Levitt. She started her career in 1939. Soon she became inspired by Henry Cartier Bresson and started to photograph people in the streets of NY. She's still alive, now 95 years old and lives a quiet live in the USA.
