It's been a while...I'm back. But...I'm leaving again because I'm about to close this blog forever. Check out, and please follow my new blog with pictures only. http://jacquesdaniel.tumblr.com/ I'm going to post new images (analog photography) next week!

R.I.P. Steve Jobs

Mr Apple, Steve Jobs , just passed away...

Once you go Mac, you never go back. It's true. Thanks, Mr. Jobs, for turning me into an Apple lover...

The Sartorialist

Scott The Sartorialist Schuman is in Amsterdam.

Apartamento Magazine

The sweet Edith asked me to help her out with her Apartamento Magazine project (graduation project for college).

Best magazine out there. Uh huh.



More pics on my website and more to come on my flickr page.

Favorite

This picture is the most favorite one on my Flickr page....it's a mystery!

My Muse II

Unfortunately I didn't win the contest which I talked about in the previous post...oh well...better luck next time. Perhaps I shouldn't enter these contests anymore. I'm just gonna do it my way...

My muse

Oh yeah...this picture is part of the muse-series I shot for a photography competition.
You can vote for me, if you like the series. Or...if you just like this blog. Or me. :)
If I'm going to be the winner in either of the two categories (public / jury)...I'll post something special on the blog. Promise!
And a promise is a promise.



Stay Tuned competition

Welcome to 2011

A new year...a fresh start...

When we hit 2012, I want all of us to look back to 2011 with no regrets...

So take risks and act crazy, because on december 21st, 2012...we're no longer here! (According to the Maya's...)


Check out my flickr page to see a different shot of Jim looking at the snowflakes!

Oh, and make more 'jokes'; every succesful person on this earth started their career 'as a joke'...at least that's what they ALWAYS say. Such a cliché...but hey!

From 2010 to 2011

4 days left until the new year. 2010 will never come back! Neverrr!

Many years ago, people thought we would 'drive' in flying cars in the year 2000. Not uh! It's never gonna happen. Not even in the year 3011.
Perhaps we have been encountered by a new species by then. And they will probably take over our beautiful looking planet...are we gonna make it 'till 3011? What's gonna happen in 2012? Will the earth be destroyed??? According to the Mayas, earth is going to be destroyed on december 21st, 2012...I think it won't get destroyed. We will become slaves of extra terrestrials.
Read what theoretical physicist and cosmologist Stephen Hawkin says about this matter!


Just another analog picture, taken by me at my sisters. :)

Home is where the heart is

I forgot where I get this line from! Probably some hiphop track...? Hm...no, I don't think so.

Well, at the moment I'm searching for a new home because my next home will be a home where my heart really is at home.


Taken at Blasiusstraat, Amsterdam (east!). Apartamento style...haha.


Check out my flickr to see another shot of this home, and the story behind these pictures...

-update...I remember...it was Gil Scott Heron with - 'Home Is Where The Hatred Is' - I've been listening to his albums for hours and hours...

I don't care if I'm gonna be jailed

-sigh-

I discover new (and very good!) photographers on the Flickr website on a daily basis...it's unreal! The competition is extremely fierce among photographers and there are so many of 'em out there. It is hard to stand out from this group, who are all trying to get THE picture which will make them famous. I love taking pics myself but it's getting slow when it comes to getting worldwide recognition.
I know it's not coming my way when I'm not doing anything about it...so...I gotta take some risks in life.

Me and my sister have been 'working on' this project for the past two or so years, and I don't want to wait another whole year to start with it...so I gotta work on it!!
Actually it's a project just in our heads, but we've never started it because it involves 'violating privacy rights'...hahaha. Also, it should be dark outside as it is an outdoor project. No studio work. We use the real shit right here! All taken outside on the streets and lowlight with only street lighting! So, that's why I'm glad the days are getting shorter right now and it's already dark around 5:30pm...

I'm sure when this project will be published in book form...me and her will be called the most original and daring photographers in the world. Hehehehehehe....

My sister is too busy to upload her photography work on the net...so that's why I'm gonna do it. Hahaha...


Pic taken by my sister...! (Sis and her Spanish friend in the background...)

-will upload some new pics on my flickr this weekend!-
