CARNAVAL
Every year in February in the southern, catholic, parts of the Netherlands, a big carnaval is taking place. It’s a colorful and theatrical event, where many people take a week off to party in crazy costumes. Being an immigrant, living in the protestant, northern, part of the Netherlands where there are no carnivals organized, I one year decided to go to Maastricht in the south to experience and photograph the event.
With a bottle of Jenever in one hand and my camera in the other, I spent a week on the streets.
