Amayzine Questionnaire:
Micky Hoogendijk
You might still know her as Cleo de Wolf from GTST, or as the ex-wife of Adam Curry. We know Micky nowadays only as a terribly talented photographer, who focuses entirely on portrait photography. From today, her new exhibition ‘Through the Eyes of Others’ can be admired in Amstelveen, so it was high time for a Questionnaire. Micky, the stage is all yours…
