I’m giving myself some ‘assignments’ lately. Just to practice certain elements in photography and learn to work with restrictions.
So I got off my arse and went out to the local heath, with the following restrictions:
- A square crop (cropped in Lightroom since I can’t set my Canon 5D mark II to an aspect ratio of 1:1);
- Black and white;
- Using a 35 or 85mm lens.

A conversation on Twitter a while ago inspired me to write this blog post. I’ve been asked by several people, mainly photographers, if I know any good documentaries involving photography and/or photographers. Well, I do. And instead of answering their questions each time (which I don’t mind by the way), I decided to write a series of blog posts about my favourite documentaries.
I don’t have one particular favourite, so the order in which I list them is random.

This photo was made during the annual book market in Deventer. It’s the biggest book market in Europe, which exists of 6 kilometres of book stands. A truly amazing sight. Especially when you cross the IJssel river with the ferry.
This particular stand is the most visually interesting though. Most of the other stands are just regular booths like you see on any market all over the world.
You’ll probably see more of these posts in the future. I decided that it’s okay to just post a recent photograph I made. I might add a short story or something like that. Hans Aarsman style maybe, for those of you that are familiar with his weekly columns in newspaper de Volkskrant.

This is the second part of my “It’s all about the limitations” series. Be sure to read the first part before reading this one. You can find it over here. I forgot to mention this in my previous post, but I post iPhone photos to my Posterous every now and then. So if you’re interested in iPhone photography, you might like it.
The photo above is processed with the Best Camera app. I wrote a blog post about that particular app a while ago.
I’d like to add two other apps. I absolutely love SwankoLab and, to a lesser extent, Hipstamatic.
