"A standard method is used worldwide to photograph cows and bulls."
Hello again. You can write any comments you want, I've changed the settings!
Anyway, you'll wonder why I have a photo of a cow... well, today I've been in the photo museum in Rotterdam. The collection wasn't amazing as I suspected but there were some interesting images from the 70's of Bas Jan Ader and all the other Dutch performers.
But in the bookshop I found this magazine called Useful Photography, and well, the images are really powerful and useful, here are some of their main ideas:
" Cut out a photograph from a wholesale butcher's brochure, hang it over your bed, and a year later you still won't be bored of it"
"The pictures in Useful Photography 002 show the surprising creativity of the amateur photographer in the world of virtual selling"
Hahaha… have fun with it.
If you want to visit the photo museum try to get in for free the 6€ aren’t worth it. The building seems unfinished, with the posters and sings hanged with tape folded to create a double sided tape… and well… the distribution is a mess, you get lost all the time, and sometimes you get in a room and you don’t know if it’s part of the exhibition, the library or the toilets…
Maybe the photo museum in Amsterdam is better.
Anyway the place is very interesting; it’s close to the NY hotel, the place where the emigrants meet to set off to America.
You could feel all the spilled tears over years and years of European emigration to America during the WWII.
