Mattijn

Published on February 27, 2009

Coming home to Anna’s Hoeve, originally uploaded by Mattijn.
A recent flickr discovery of mine is the wonderful photo-stream of Mattijn, whose wonderful photo-montages really transcend much of the rest of what I have seen in the art form. He includes himself in his montages (look out for his adorable cat), granting them a personal quality [...]

Gospels, Timkat (Epiphany), Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, January 2009

Getty Images apparently has a program where they are scouring flickr for images to be included in their stock catalogue. Six of my images have been invited, and I have been looking into it.
