My wife was a fellow history student with Otterspeer. Is that a coincidence?
Coincidence? You tell me. You are the expert on chance, statistics and coincidences..
Well, you studied history in Leiden which is (via my son, your fellow student) why I know you … and Otterspeer is nowadays a history professor in Leiden. So I guess not a strange coincidence at all.
Dear Richard,
I am afraid that you think too highly of me. Far too highly. Unlike Paul I did not study history, but I (only) read law.
I met Otterspeer via Leiden University Press. Currently I am making portraits of all their authors.
Does this alter the coincidence?
By the way, I found three films by Tarkovski today. I hope see them somewhere this week/weekend.
Kind greetings,

OK!
Tarkowski: my order of recommendation would be: Mirror > Andrei Rublev > Stalker > Solaris > Ivan’s Childhood. I started watching Nostalghia but got a bit bored. Haven’t seen Sacrifice yet.
Many people think that Mirror is the most beautiful film ever made. It is full of Vermeer and of Breughel (among many other things). I possibly agree with that judgement.
Really nice image! Lots of nice images here.
