KEEPERS

by hans van der meer

"In 2001 my Dutch publisher Fred Schmidt from De Verbeelding Publishers asked me if I had something in stock to publish. In the football archive I had those returning images from a solitary goalkeeper. They were the result of the way I worked, a kind of spin off you could say.

The location search for my football images always took me a lot of time. I used to select only football grounds where a world behind the pitch would appear in a descriptive way. My viewpoint was defined by that idea from the very beginning, as I started to photograph football in 1995. I needed that world outside the pitch to visualize that football was an important part of our culture.”

Voyez le reste de cette collection ICI, ainsi que le site Web de Hans van der Meer comportant tous ses autres projets photographiques. Ça en vaut le détour. Promis.

Football v. Homophobia Toolkit

The FA has created a toolkit that teams can use to help fight homophobia in football. There are factsheets about homophobia and transphobia, activities for managers, players, and supporters who wish to become involved, resources for creating a more inclusive atmosphere at games, media tips, examples of clubs that are actively working to fight homophobia, and resources for education and outreach.

I think this is fantastic.
