Sleep deprivation

Oh shit.

I've caught myself stuttering lately.

And that's because of...'Oh shit'. I'm literally messing up my brain because of lack of sleep in the weekends...and also during the week, I must say.
I can't go to bed before 1am; even when I have to get up at 6am the next morning. I have way too much energy at night which I have to lose with watching movies or doing creative things like messing around in photoshop or producing music ('till my head nods (almost banging my head on my laptop / table / other furniture) from being extremely sleepy).

Oh well. I'll get catch up on lost sleep when I'm leaving this planet. Most of the time, I sleep 6 hours and I really feel okay! Perhaps I should sleep 1 hour longer to get the perfect amount of sleep-time.



How many hours of sleep do you get per night?

Open Day Gerrit Rietveld Academy

I visited the Open Day of the Gerrit Rietveld Academy artschool because I am in search of a good (art)school with a photography department.

Fashion faux / Fashion Haux

Hello.

This one was taken, with the Olympus Pen EE.
You know, I still want this book...but I should be careful with spending money because I almost reached maximum debt.
Hahaha...woops!


Do you have this book? If so, is it worth buying??
-Picture taken at Streetlab -

Don't take me wrong, I love the blog of The Sartorialist, but I've been in serious doubt of actually buying this book because you can also go to his site and check out the wonderful pictures which are also published in the book. But perhaps I should just buy it anyway for my tiny book collection.


And this one is taken with the Yashica B.
I'm posting this one (which was taken at work) just to give this (fashion-related) post an extra fashionable touch. (I know: I don't make any sense. Do I?)

By the way, Scott Schuman (The Sartorialist) just posted square format pictures on his blog for the very first time. I think he wants to add a classic element of the film photography-era into his new stuff.

In the future, every photographer wants to use at least an analogue camera for at least 15 minutes.

Happy(!!)...oh wait...

Am I too late with yelling out 'Happy New Year!' to everyone?
Oh yes I am. But I'm gonna tell a little (visual) story about my NYE days anways. So there! Pooh!

Christmas.

Me and sis went to our parents place to spend some peaceful times during Christmas. We got pampered by mommy. Big time.
This is our mom. Sitting next to the Christmas tree which was decorated by dad...as always...for the last 10 or so years.



NYE

But I celebrated New Years Eve at someone else's place (back in Amsterdam) who lived between two lovely prostitutes.

And then it was time to party.

I was on the guestlist of a label night party, somewhere in the always-filled-with-only-tourists-and-tourists-only-Warmoesstreet. The reason I was put on the guestlist, is that I used to be an electronic music producer...(yes, one of my 'secrets') and I know the label owner: DJ BONE who released a record of mine, many years ago when I was an ambitious youngster trying to become the world's best electronic music producer.
Unfortunately it didn't work out for me as school kind of intervened my dream. But...I graduated a few months ago (don't take me wrong, I'm proud of myself I received my Bachelor diploma...STAY IN SCHOOL!), and therefore I have more time on working on a come back!!
Every now and then, I still receive e-mails from event organisers who want to book me to perform as a DJ. But I'm not a DJ...I'm just a producer. I would love to learn how to play live though. It's time to realise my dream as a musician and travel all over the world!!

Enough with the bla-bla-bla...here are more pics of this night.

After the Subject Detroit Label Night...I went to Studio 80...party 'till we drop on the floor!



Happy New Year everyone. And may all of your wishes may come true...THIS year!

Onverwachts kreeg ze een 'voldoende' van de beoordelingscommissie. Goed hè?

I helped out my sister at her artschool on the 'big-of-a-deal-before-Christmas-break'! day. Unexpectedly she received the highest out of three 'grades' (sufficient, doubt, insufficient): sufficient...despite receiving a lot of critiques.

Here are a few pics of her work, all taken at the Gerrit Rietveld Academie in Amsterdam.


Her favorite style...lines, lines, lines, lines and more lines.


It took me a half an hour to put it all back into the shoebox. This whole creation was like, 30 feet (9 / 10 meters) long!!


The artist herself. And her paper hand.

Party in Amsterdam.

Streetlab asked me to shoot at one of their parties: The Fabuluos Life Of Peter Kolski


Fuck Yuo I Am A Robot

Terrible blogger! Terrible!

I have become a terrible blogger...forgive me for not posting in such a long time.

But I've been in a...not so good situation lately. In my previous post, I already told you about me being infected with the deadly H1N1 virus. Luckily I've survived this intruder from outer space who was trying to take over my whole body...and soul!

When I was in the middle of my sickness-period, I've had thoughts of dying...!
But I'm back in blog-world! I still have extremely busy days ahead of me but there's at least one positive news...you'll see more pictures on this blog than ever before! I actually don't really have the time to write blogposts...I'm a bad writer anyways, so perhaps I should only post pictures.

(re-) Starting today:

I went to a concert of The Raveonettes exactly one week ago. I finally get to see them live after listening to their music almost non-stop since my stay in Sweden, nearly two years ago! (Time flies!)

Feels good to make a new post...perhaps I should do a blog make over...?

Good days / Bad days

Hello y'all.....

Sorry for not being on the internet for sooooooooo many days. But as you know; luck is definitely something I have to work for. It doesn't come my way just like that.
Well, once again I'm in a BAD situation:

First of all: I had no internet connection for almost a week...(!) second: I'm infected with the New Influenza A (H1N1) and really thought of dying...
I felt so miserable, it was unreal!! My whole body was in agonizing pain...and I was sweating like crazy. But no worries, as I am feeling a lot better than earlier this week. I still feel a lil bit dizzy and I use one toilet paper roll a day for my snotty nose.

But I'm ready to update my blog more often again! Well, at least I'm going to TRY to update it as often as possible because I'm going to move to a new apartment this sunday, so I still have lots of busy days ahead of me!

*the following pictures are to be displayed on a large scale (in a dark room, otherwise you can not see the details).

My lil light, which kept me alive when I was really, really sick.



This picture is taken in my old town where I was born and raised. My folks still live there. I wanted to go back to my parents' place so they could take care of me, but...I didn't had the strenght to get up. So I stayed in Amsterdam, in my bed for almost three days straight.

Amsterdam, october 2062.

Sometimes, I have these futuristic images of myself. But where do I really end up? Amsterdam? Seattle?
Perhaps I don't even make it to 2062. You know, last week I was thinking about the following: every living person on this planet will be gone within a 100 years. We will be replaced by our next generation. But what if we are the last generation? The whole planet will be deserted...

It 'll be like the movie I am Legend.

May I ask where you are located right now? And do you stay there for the rest of your life...?

Passion Pit @ Paradiso

After waiting for almost 4 months (!!), they finally came back to Amsterdam. I'm talking about the american band called Passion Pit. In juli, the leadsinger Michael Angelakos lost his voice and the band decided (a few hours before their performance!) to cancel the Amsterdam-concert in the Paradiso.
I discovered them through Last.fm radio, so I gotta give Last.fm props for that. But I also HATE them because I only have 30 tracks left on their radio account! And they won't allow me to listen to it again until I pay €3.00/month!!

Anyway, here are some pics of the night...have a nice week(end)!






I think he broke his arm after he jumped from the drummer's section to the front stage...


Thanks Passion Pit.

By the way, I have been awarded a Splash Award by Dominica from Faces and Places of of Antwerp. Probably the most exciting city of Belgium...yes or no?
I feel so honored! I'm serious here.
