Hendrik Kerstens

I think there is a trend in portrait photography to light its subjects like the paintings of old Dutch masters like Vermeer. This photo by Hendrik Kerstens of his daughter Paula is my favourite. I like the calmness of it. And the humour: the typical Dutch headdress turns out to be a simple plastic bag.

Pieter Hugo

South-African photographer Pieter Hugo travelled twice to Nigeria (in 2005 and 2007) to follow a legendary group of itinerant street artists known as the Hyena Men. These men earn their money by performing on the streets with hyenas, pythons and baboons, and by selling traditional medicines.

Organic Packaging

Those of you who will be in London soon, should definitely check out the Whole Foods market in Kensington. I have never seen such a beautiful presentation. And the selected products are all so well designed.


















































I love the trend for handwritten text and quirky illustrations!

Klinch

I like the posters for the Klinch parties at the Melkweg in Amsterdam. I wonder who has made them.

This poster caught my eye in a record shop yesterday.
