CATCH UP WITH U

2011-11-21T06:54:00.000-08:00

Wow you haven't heard from me since summer. That is really a long no-blogging time. I'm not sure when I will regularly blogging again, but I promise you I will. I still have great photography ideas and plans. Just have not the time and mind to do it in right now. Though I have saved some material to post at least once in one/two weeks.

To maintain a friendship between me and my high school girlfriends, each of us organize another (dinner) party once in a while. Think of a tapas evening, a pool party, a barbecue etc. I had to do a High tea, since I love baking, sweetness and a lot of pink.

I would like to learn more about the ins and outs of studio photography. I took these photo's just simply on my white wall with my window curtains open. No artificial light and no modifications done on the computer. Although... maybe I like it to keep it this simple...

TONIGHT I DON'T GIVE A

2010-10-31T15:26:00.000-07:00

When the dark of the night comes around

That's the time that the animal comes alive

Looking for something wild

And now we lookin' like pimps

In my gold Trans-am

Got a water bottle full of wiskey in my handbag

Got my drunk text on

I'll regret it in the mornin'

But tonight I don't give a

MORE DISPOSABLES

2010-09-30T00:30:00.000-07:00

Some more pictures with the disposable camera.

DISPOSABLES ONE

2010-09-22T14:50:00.000-07:00

I received the photo's of my disposable camera (which belongs to the garbage now of course). Since a few weeks I always take a disposable with me and I take pictures of the silliest things ever. Examples; the street near my house where I walk everyday, the professor in a lecture, my friends when they are acting weird, etc. Normally you'll not take pictures of these daily things, but I think it is nice to see it back when you are much older. I love the nostalgic feeling. Missing the smallest things of the past, but at the same time gives you a feeling of happiness. You know what I mean?

Don't you love the blurs in some photo's here? The strange effects which arised by coincidence? As a total suprise..

POPEYE THE SAILER MAN

2010-09-19T12:28:00.000-07:00

Yesterday, I was sailing on the sea with my family. It was a lovely day except for the coldness and some of us were seasick. But I really loved being swinged by the waves, being in a different world for a moment and just being on the water.

VALTIFEST: IT'S A RELIGION

2010-09-07T14:16:00.000-07:00

...
I was hoping to be at this festival of MTV named Valtifest, but unfortunately I didn't had tickets. That's why I did a couple of drinks with a friend by a terrace a few meters from the party, so I still could enjoy the music a little. (For those living in Amsterdam: the place is called 'Noorderlicht' located on NDSM-werf, I recommend it!) This year the dresscode was 'religion' and the partygoers had to bring a balloon. My thoughts: Great opportunity to make some great pictures!

P.S. the guard was angry because I made this photo below.
I have no idea why, but I guess there is a reason for it. So that's why I am publishing this photo. Little jamming. Paparazzi behavior ?! hihi
