[alt-photo] Re: Pictorialism show - or, not the worst place to ink a bromoil

[C.Breukel at lumc.nl]

I visited said exhibition yesterday, definitely very worthwhile!

Kees: I did not realize it was you in the movie! I only read your
message today, and my kids were distracting me (they were enjoying the
audio tour in the Rembrandt huis very much, but after that their
concentration was over..;-)..) Could enjoy the exhibition but no time
for the movie alas..saw a glimpse of you inking though..

Btw I was struck by the fact that a lot of prints were (direct carbon
prints..

Check it out if you are able!
