Went to the Ph.D. presentation of Judith van IJken (www.judithvanijken.nl) in the #ArtHubLeiden today. Judith is exploring ways to give more context to photographic portraits. She calls her approach 'tinkering' with the result to show the social context. #photography

Spotted a beta version of Bluesky Flashes in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam recently. Great idea to aim for bigger spaces than the tiny iPhone and Android screens.
