Bram (Abraham)
I like old black and white movies, films with Humphrey Bogart or Simone Signoret,
Alfred Hitchcock … you name it … beautiful actors with characteristic faces, all in well balanced shots … the classic film
Sometimes when I walk downtown Amersfoort I see people with such characteristic, wrinkled faces … they could easily fit into an old black and white classic
Bram is a nice example … a giant of a man and hands as big as a shovel
I stopped him to talk to him … explained about my portrait photography and asked him to pose for me …
When I was finished he answered and I heard Marlon Brandon from The Godfather …
Yes … ok …. Let´s give it a try …
We made an appointment and I went with my Mamiya C330, tripod and black cloth
Bram worked as a plasterer and did very well … a bungalow-like farmhouse, stables where he kept pigs and other animals for a hobby and the freezer … a nice BMW …
But his wealth had not changed him, still that hardworking man, not needing much for himself …
Bram waited for me in the large kitchen, sitting at the kitchen table …
First there was coffee …
We talked about this and that, he had typical wise expressions … Marlon Brandon ?
Then Bram showed me the stables
Next was photo time … we went back into the kitchen where Bram sat down in his usual place at the kitchen table … he lit a cigar and looked at me and what I was doing …
The black cloth was difficult, high sealing and spacious kitchen …
When I was ready Bram was still sitting in a relaxed pose … waiting for what was to come
I adjusted my camera and only asked Bram to take a puff from his cigar …
A simple “click” and it was done … well I took 4 more, to be sure, different times and different aperture …
I remember well that Bram was amazed about all “the junk” I carried along for something that wasn´t that special …
Next day I developed the film and made a print for Bram … he liked it very much …
A few months later the photo was in a selection of “Wintersalon”, now called “Fotonationaal”, a few national photo magazines and even a German photo magazine
I brought copies of all articles to Bram who was very proud …
Again a few months later local television called me
They had seen my photos in an exhibition and wanted to get to know the photographer and asked my corporation in a small, 15 minute, documentary
The documentary also needed me at work, was that possible too?
The camera crew was 7 people …
I said yes … only realized later what it meant …
We needed space for this documentary and I remembered Bram´s kitchen, spacious …
I visited him again … Bram was sick … explained my visit, he didn´t say no … it had to be on short notice …
The kitchen was full with people and equipment, a lot of lights and it was clearly visible that Bram was not well …
I simulated working …
It´s a fine documentary, Bram had his copy right away …
Actually Bram had the leading part in the documentary, as he deserved … the camera crew recognized what I saw that very first time that I met Bram … and why I took his portrait
The evening the documentary was broadcasted Bram and the entire family were sitting in front of the television … (I heard later)
Not long after Bram passed away …
How sad it may be, the family still has that wonderful documentary to remember him …
I´m sure that by now Bram will have plastered the gate to heaven a few times …
Resting, enjoying his cigar and with that Marlon Brandon voice saying “they still don´t have enough of that face of mine?”

Worked in the morning with my mom and Anilda. It wasn’t too bad. Then I came home and caught up on all of LOST finally! DESMOND, CHARLIE, AND FARADAY ALL IN ONE EPISODE, I WAS IN HEAVEN! Went to the doctor’s and got harassed of course. I love them there, not really. Then I bought a new purse that I’m in love with. Rented a movie and went to Christian’s to hang out and watch it… and then 30 minutes into the movie Kathleen decided she needed me and ruined my night! So I left and met her at Ruby Tuesday’s. Felt really bad about it though. Roamed Walmart and Walgreens. Kathleen sucks, I hate her.
THE END!
