63 stappen van mijn voordeur verwijderd staan al jaren de trofeen van Henk Kohler. Nog steeds wonend in het huis van zijn ouders, doet hij waar hij erg goed in is. En daar wint 'ie dan weer prijzen mee, want hij is al jaren de beste in zijn categorie. Die van hem zijn witter dan alle anderen. Ze zijn vele malen zachter dan die van zijn concurenten.
Het blijft natuurlijk consumptie-bonnen en tientjes werk, een liefhebberij. Maar dat maakt Henk niet uit, hij doet wat hij leuk vindt en waar hij goed in is. Henk is een kampioen.

Our yearly pre-Christmas dinner was a succes .... seven photographers at one table shot more then 300 pics during this cosy evening.
This might be a bit overdone, but since clients and friends sometimes wonder how we actually look on the other side of the camera or telephone, we figured that it would be nice to share a little selection of these pics.
P.s.: special attention to our new 'catering queen' Christine and studio manager Anne, who run the No6Studios!!
From here we take the opportunity to wish you a delightful and happy 2009!

Dear Mr. President,
postcards to ‘the most powerful man on earth’
In het kader van de aanstaande presidentsverkiezingen in de V.S. bedachten barbara Dijkhuis en Auke Vleer de tentoonstelling; Dear Mr. President, postcards to ‘the most powerful man on earth’. Een verzameling foto-briefkaarten die door hen is samengesteld uit de snapshot-archieven van de fotografen Daniëlle van Ark, Morad Bouchakour, Tara Fallaux, Stefanie Grätz, Martijn van de Griendt, Suzanne Karsters, Dana Lixenberg en henzelf. De 335 beelden die te zien zijn, werden allen gemaakt in de V.S. Centraal in deze tentoonstelling staat de mogelijkheid om als bezoeker een van deze briefkaarten te 'adopteren' en te voorzien van een zelfgeschreven boodschap aan de aanstaande president, John Mc Cain of Barack Obama. De organisatie van de expositie zal de kaarten na afloop ook daadwerkelijk versturen naar het witte huis in Washington DC.
De Stadsbibliotheek Haarlem stelt een aantal werken over Amerika en de verkiezingen beschikbaar in De Gang, terwijl door de Amerikaanse Ambassade informatiemateriaal over het systeem wordt aangeboden.
DE GANG is tijdens winkeltijden (niet op zondag) geopend. De tentoonstelling loopt van 2 augustus tot en met 4 november (verkiezingsdag).
