Steel Notes Magazine www.steelnotesmagazine.com going to ask how you went about taking pictures ... if it was planned or spontaneous ... because especially your exquisite studies in nature are hardly random ??? JV: It is both planned and random. The flowers are sometimes very planned and sometimes not at all. Clouds happen when they happen. And for me, rock photography is really about catching that special moment. MBW: There are scads of things to ask ... but ... being you are a photographer ... that terrific old Rod Stewart song Every Picture Tells A Story pops into mind ... so unless there is anything else you would like to add at this time ... I will let your photographs speak for themselves ... Johan ... this interview has been a distinct pleasure ... I have one final question ... my favorite ... If I could grant you three wishes ... what would they be ??? JV: A gallery show, world-peace and an unlimited supply of oysters ... Steel Notes Magazine www.steelnotesmagazine.com 13
