Party!!!

Normally I keep Business and Pleasure separated, but this Friday boundaries will blur

Since I still had to throw a birthday party, i figured it would make extra sense If i could fit it in my current photo project. So now im throwing a fucked up businesspeople party ! 9 till 5!!
Call It genius (or just stupid) but im sure its going to be great fun! And hey, maybe i shoot
my award winning graduation photos on my own party !

Something you probably forgot about....

Some people are WAAAAY ahead of things. This 13 (!) Year old Video finally seems to connect with its time, like its a gigantic mash up of everything that is hip anno 2010.

I mean, who doesnt think of James Cameron's Avatar, Lord of The Rings, The landscape of the Teletubies, The Africa 2010 World Cup, Apple estetics, Wireless utopia's and Green Design when you see this clip!!?!



Too bad the synsthesisers are so 90's...

Now off to bed, and more later!

I am not a Photographer

That's at least what I was thinking BEFORE I went trough my room and collected all te cameras that where laying around. Now they are still standing next to my laptop, and I'm looking proud at this (half borrowed) collection. I still dont understand why I havent taken a picture in months while all these nice toys were just next to my bed.....

Hello?

(Subway in Paris, November 2009)

Yes, I know. I havent been writing for a while. There happend a lot in the past weeks, and at the same time almost nothing. We are currently preparing the exhibition that will be held in Amsterdam from the 20 till the 27th of March! That's in less then three weeks! AcK! This keeps me so occupied that i feel like a businessman/organiser. Really. I even had this horrible feeling that my Sunday/weekend was almost over, and my workweek started again!

All this organising makes me wonder if I'm still capable of taking pictures, so thats why i will do a short trip to London next week. Im planning to shoot at canary wharf ( the La Defence of London) - and I hope to be more in disguise then the last time in Amsterdam, where my Eskimo-outfit didnt really work well.

So chek the blog - more more info comming soon!
