Total pages: 430. Format box 17 x 33 x 13 cm. Idea,
design, photographs and print: Peter Spaans. (An
artist's book, first edition in 2010, printing on

1945, from my father is brought together with the
visual diary of my journey through America in 2007.
The photos are details of pictures that I took during
my trip to America in 2007. The pages of the diary I
photographed as well as I normally shoot: "casual,
fast, almost casually, but very focused. The pages are
sometimes just out of focus, and exposure is always
different. My father and I both make a journey: he was
forced, I want out free, but it's also about: father -
son, old - young, occasionally, long journey - short
trip and so on.
