It’s funny you mentioned the empty park. I had been thinking that many of your photos don’t contain many people. Is it due to schedule or just less crowded places?
Yeah, I think both of those are factors. I still don’t understand what people here do on Sundays – some entire town centers are ghost towns. Also, I have been a bit more hesitant than usual about taking photos of random people. I am trying hard not to look like a tourist! And I often don’t want to disturb people’s characteristic Dutch calmness. Actually, one time I took a photo of a residential alley in Utrecht with a few people sitting around and shooting the shit. A group of young kids on bikes rode in from behind me, and one of them told me that I shouldn’t take photos there. That was kind of surprising.
