A photo medium about Rotterdam

Rotterdam bij elk licht: people at a moment, in the light they get then, photographed by Laurens. Each issue is one day or night, and the photos arrive the way eyes adjust: night frames come up out of black, daylight frames out of white glare, then the colour comes in.

Works no.

What is inside

  • Issue 0, a trial issue: nineteen of Laurens’s own edits, by day and after dark
  • Night frames are first shown as the eye’s rods see them, worked out at build time

How it is built

Static Astro on Bunny, with Switzer as its only typeface and sodium orange as its only colour. It goes public once the domain moves to Bunny.
