It is beautiful, well restored, clean and very relaxed.
With excellent restaurants and bars.
A pleasure to be in this town.
And this to work on the new photo book “Sequences: the ultimate selection”.
With the “Voetnoot”-publisher Anneke Pijnappel and the designer Henrik Barents.
One major moment was the presentation of the cover of the new photo book.
No image on the cover to not emphasize any of the almost 120 sequences that are inside.
And lettering used similar to the former photo books with sequences.
Fervent and loyal blog readers may want to express their opinion about this cover.
To publish a photo book, that comes with an accompanying exhibition and book presentation in the Gallery Baudelaire in Antwerp, Belgium, needs a managing of many aspects.
The date for the event is set on November 29.
And most other aspects are decided and set in motion as well.
Easy going, as the people from Voetnoot are very experienced.
And the photographer has published over ten books in the past knowing most ins and outs thoroughly.
Today Antwerp will be left behind and a train will carry the permanent pilgrim to Amsterdam in the Netherlands.
To give two days of Masterclasses to students in two different schools for photography.
First statement to the students will be: this person is not a Master.

I think a photo book should indeed have a photo on the cover.
No "white space". The cover design just doesn't "breathe".
Your sequences are so much about the surprise. First the viewer looks at one picture and thinks "what is that?". Then the viewer sees the second picture and goes "hmm" and then the third picture reveals the punchline.
To me, the cover is completely disjointed from the contents.
I have no suggestions, though. Book covers are tough, very tough.
