While looking through the different vids on YouTube.For some reason i typed in your name(lol sorry your name poped into my head when i was doing some random searches).And it came up with a program you were on called "TV Gelderland".Didn't expect that
You are talking/taking photographs of mushrooms.And showing/talking about shots of a fox.

Ohh.that is one SCARY programme - what the hell's going on with the tomatoes Edwin
And as for the geezer in the top hat at the end - oh dear, Edwin, you looked like an island of normalcy in a sea of weirdness matey
I suppose it could possibly all make perfect sense if I could understand Dutch
Mind you though, if the young lady in the studio ever needed help with her long lens technique I'd be well up for that - stuff the language barrier

Can't help feeling that the cameraman could have had you further to the left of the picture so that you had some space to move into, Edwin. Also a bit tight at the top.

LOL @ Eric's comment! Was the cameraman a bit paranoid about something in the bushes behind you Edwin.......

Oh my God, It's all over the world. Didn't know it was on Youtube. Well spotted.
TV Gelderland is a TV Program in Holland. The asked me to do an interview about Nature Photography and in particularly the Red Fox. I took them to a spot where I photographed some Foxes.
The problem with the Foxes was, after that I photographed them, about 20 to 30 people heard about the Foxes. The days after that, about 20 'photographers' went searching for that site and took French Fries, Meatballs, fish and candy with them for the animals. They even almost fight with eachother when someone walked in front of the lens of an other photographer. It really got out of hands. And all that for one shot of that Fox. I got really angry about that and did the interview.
To be short. The message wich I wanted to give at the end of the interview is that a lot of photographers only do this to score and not to be close to Nature. Respect the animals and stop photographing when you think the animal is hurt or disturbed. I've seen some photographs of the Fox taken by others and you can see that the ears lay flat. They were not feeling well but the food made them come back over and over again.
I hope this will clear something up.

Oh yes, the Tomatoes.
The Tomato is the Mascotte for a Political Party called SP (Socialist Party)

Thanks for explaining what the program was about .
Now i understand why they kept on showing that shot with all those photographers along the road.

Wow, that's a bit of an eye-opener Edwin - watching it I had no idea of the seriousness of the peice
The dutch language always sounds so 'jolly' it was impossible to tell.
On a lighter note, I take it the 'tomatoes' bit was anti-SP - or have I misread tomatoes being splattered everywhere

The guy in the program was kicked out of the Party and was kind of angry

I see what you mean about the fox with his ears down .Is'nt that a sighn of fear ?.
Doing the interview, did it get the "message" accross ?.Or is it still going on ?.
Posted by Edwin kats on December 29, 2007 at 11:09 AM
The photographs you see during the program were not taken by me. They took it from the internet.
Indeed it's a sign of fear. But all the food smelled so good.....
About the message... The people feeding the Fox are not real nature photographers and do anything to take the shot. Even when it means death for the animal. There was a small water nearby and the gave the Fox very salty food so that he walked to the water and the photographers got a shot of a drinking Fox. Not my kind of photography.
