Since graduation, I've actually been a very busy bee...despite the fact I do not have a fulltime paying job. I'm interning at a Fashion Agency and also have a parttime job on the side since my college days. I'm still into photography (of course!) and have bought six film camera's in the last four or so weeks (!!!!). Yeah I know, It's getting a bit out of hand and I should stop buying (vintage) film camera's otherwise I can't pay my rent, insurances, food, etc., etc. I'd like to share some exciting news about my photography career. But I'll tell you more about it once it's official.....
My apologies for not updating my blog in such a long time but remember...I will never stop blogging, and I will always come back after a while. :) And if I ever stop blogging, you can still find me on the net on one of many Social Networks with Facebook and Twitter being the most used ones. So no worries. :)
Together with three other buddies, I went to visit a few friends of mine in Lille (France) last weekend. We organised a small reunion with another group of people whom we all met during our studyperiod in Sweden. La Braderie, an annual event, is the biggest European flea market and the reason we all went to Lille for the reunion. With over two million visitors in just 48 hours it was extremely crowded!
Lille at night
Our hostess, Aurélie.
Soon, I will have to move again (for the fourth time in 1 year) in Amsterdam. Hopefully I will then have a place to stay for a long period. And if I do, I'll save up for next year's 'La Braderie' and buy a shitload of stuff and turn my room into a cozy mess like these appartments in Apartamento Magazine.
Antique accordeon. Including case. Only €100,-
Crowd. Sometimes we were stuck for like 5 minutes. Imagine that in your own city: Just stand completely still in the middle of the road for 5 minutes. That's...friggin' long!
One of many beautiful doors in Lille.
The people from HomeShoppingSpy also went to La Braderie and made a very beautiful post about this big event!

Daniel congrats on graduating! And best of wishes for those events developing in your photography career! I love the first photo here, the moon and the sky look so dreamy, a very romantic atmosphere.
And whoa! So many film cameras!!! Keep them for 20 more years and one day they will make you a very rich man hahaha.
"Lille at night" is simply fantastic, strange and beautiful at the same time.
You were luchy to go to the Grande Braderie, one of my dreams !
Holy crap! That night shot of Lille is deceiving, you would never guess how busy it is during the day.
I see what you mean about "cluttered" apartments. I naturally gravitated towards the one with the chandelier in the bedroom.
Congratulations on graduating college! That's an achievement in anybodies book.
I'm excited about all of those cameras. There will be some picture taking in Amsterdam!
Nice to have you back kiddo. xo d
Congratulations on graduating. I think that you will definitely achieve your dream of doing something in the photography career. Love these pictures. Lille is such a gorgeous place; and I'm absolutely smitten with that antique accordeon - beautiful! :)

Goodness, Lille looks incredible! I honestly cannot wait until I have enough money in my wallet to travel. I hope I do lots of it!
& to answer your question, I would not consider myself a professional. Oh no. I have way too much to learn still. But I am so excited to do so.
Wow look at that full moon ! You've been to Lille ? been there last year around the same time !
Lovely city and lots of Belgian beers to choose from too ! :-)
..

Gefeliciteerd met je afstuderen Daniel ! En je gaat bij een mode agenschap werken ? Wat ga je dan doen kun je daar iets meer oververtellen.
Groetjes, Anne
ps je hebt altijd hele leuke foto's op je blog en ik heb altijd heel veel plaatjes en ik heb dus 1001 scrapbooks & Ik zou ze eigenlijk ook van andere bloggers willen zien dus als je ook scrapbooks hebt. Kun je er misschien een post van maken ? ja ja ja zeggen.
Congratulations Daniel. Now it is time for the real world! And I am look forward hearing from you about your photography career!

Dankje Jack ;) "best wel"? Hihi
Tot mails! Ben alleen ook een erg druk bijtje momenteel.. .
ja je denkt er zeker langer over na. t duurt ook best een poosje voordat je alle instellingen helemaal goed hebt.
het is een nikon fm

het is zeker wel prijzig. Ik doe het altijd bij de hema omdat je ze dan ook op cdrom kan laten zetten wat wel moet voor mn blog en dan zit je rond de 10 euro..
maar daar heb je het voor over.
dat je zo'n poos moet wachten en dan met spanning het pakje open kan maken om te zien wat er van geworden is, is ook zo leuk.
With love Jessi
It sounds like things are going really great for you! I am so happy for you. Congrats:)
Good job..its such a great feeling to graduate ey!
zie nu dat er nederlandse reacties staan..oooh kan gewoon nederlands schrijven..vlgnde x dan maar.
One Love,
