The day i took the picture and went home i saw on your blog the pictures of max regenberg who take pictures of such big billboards. There is allways someone who had an idea before you. I think i will keep it and do some more shots of billboards and der influence in puplic space. An other interesting thing are advertising columns. I like them but they are becoming rare. In my hometown are just about three..

happy easter!

happy easter to you as well

Mathew Pokoik has also done interesting things with advertising [link] and Matt Siber [link]

yeah, no one is original. I think being authentic is a better aim than being original. And besides, no matter how much someone has explored a topic, there is always room for more or a different approach, and every approach will be different because the people and their point of views/backgrounds are different.

Four or five years ago I took a picture of a house in fog at night, and I liked it so much that I wanted to do a series like it. I posted the picture and someone commented on it asking if I had heard of Todd Hido. I hadn't and when I saw his work it was everything I had envisioned but so much better. I decided not to make that series, and that was when I decided instead to shoot storefronts at night, something that had fascinated me since I was little and were the kind of pictures I liked looking at but rarely saw.
