    thanks for kind words/advice etc. very true points here, but none of these i did not think of already. even if i provided my clients with a primer'ish thing they would pretend to read it and put it aside and ask if i could fix them a website and logo in two weeks max. without delivering content on time.

    i really feel this extended communication is not possible anymore here, for reasons i can't put my finger on, except the fact that i feel the whole country is a little bit burned out lately and it is all about quick and dirty (and cheap!).

    I just need to get out, especially the web bit, which i never really liked, yet, that is what clients need here, the rest they let slam together by printshops who do "layout/design" these days too.

    I have been amazed that no matter how cultural/educated/exclusive a company/institution is here, their graphic design standard is really below anything.

    I must also admit I am not in Amsterdam, for those that wonder. But even there I noticed less interesting things lately. Or maybe I am not able to see it anymore, being so worn ouot by this whole web crap.

    I am moving back to photography, as still quite a few people know me for being that, as I was before moving into graphic design. And I don't want it being too late... When everyone looks at me and think "hey, webdesigner!", it is really too late. I must step out now.

    I don't have as much a tight portfolio as a lot of photographers have here, or i see posted here, but that is not really relevant, the market here is non-urban, not much media here either. You'd need to focus on company work or art (for on the company walls), some photographers do well like that here....

    Oh well, I'll see whatever comes on my path, and hopefully I will be able to steer it in a interesting direction.
