Hans Aarsman (1951) set out as a photo journalist in 1980. In 1989 he published Hollandse Taferelen, with photos and memos of his lengthy journey through the Netherlands. Once back in his native city Amsterdam he wrote and photographed Aarsmans Amsterdam, which appeared in 1993. In 1994 he gave up photography, sold his cameras, kept writing and devoted himself to giving lectures, in which he presented an open, honest way of looking, not linked to any particular style. Every Thursday he writes a column in De Volkskrant, 'the Aarsman Collection', in which he analyses contemporary photographs down to the last pixel. He has published a novel and several plays. Apparently Aarsman is once more in possession of a camera.
