kitchen portraits

back in 2008-2009 photographer ‘eric klein wolterink’ made a series of clinical images of kitchens of amsterdam residents, the panorama-like images are composites made of separate images, in each case enough as were necessary to capture the entire plane of cupboards and drawers

closer inspection reveals a plethora of vanishing points & odd disjointed perspectives within each image, the series can also be viewed in (zoomable) detail here and the collection was also published in a book designed in 2011 by hans gremmen

the train station is still standing although the tracks disappeared years ago…

the village blacksmith was the owner of a high quality technical camera which means that there is a huge series of postcard images of every aspect of village life, a fairly unusual occurence for such a small rural village at that time

i recently visited dad in france to scan all of the available material, the images are of such an amazing high quality that it is possible to zoom in endlessely to see details hidden in the background, here are a few examples i wanted to share…
