Running Away

A friend of mine sent me a link to a blog called Running from Camera. The idea is to set up the camera onto a tripod and set the self timer to two seconds; then press the button and run away.

Very strange stuff, and at the same time oddly compelling as a concept. The repetition of the images in the blog reminds me of the project I once followed where a guy took a closeup self portrait every morning for a year or so.

The Brits have decided not to let Geert Wilders in. Of course, he is shocked, just shocked – but why? Isn’t it what he teaches: close the borders from extremist elements?

Straatfotograaf blog

I’ve been occasionally following this Dutch street photography blog, which seems to be from The Hague area. Sometimes interesting, sometimes not.
