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

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!-

Black White in the mirror

I better stop taking pictures because my sister is becoming a way better photographer than me...damnnnn!


Perhaps it has something to do with the kind of (vintage, of course) camera (our mother's camera!!) and the special black & white film she used.

Isn't this the best picture you've ever seen on this whole blog? It's ridiculously beautiful. Taken by my sister in Spain.

Thanks sis...for making me feel bad...yet, giving me new inspiration and motivation to become a better 'Moment-freezer' (photographer).

Cannes

Ahhhhh...Cannes Film Festival (CFF). It´s happening between the 13th of may ´till the 24th.
Before I leave this planet, I really have to visit that beautiful (and always sunny??) place for at least once.
No wait, if I will ever visit Cannes, I would love to walk the red carpet during Cannes Film Festival, and having a chat with my BBF (Best Buddy Forever (to be)) in the industry: Brad Pitt.




...have a ´one nighter´ with this lady.

...and have a dance (on the red carpet, of course) with my favorite personality in the movie industry: Quentin Tarantino.



I can´t wait to see his new movie: Inglorious Bastards, which will première in august in The Netherlands.
Have you seen CFF´s last years poster with the image shot by movie director David Lynch? That picture was incredibly beautiful! Blurry!! (Way better than this years design...although it´s a nice (Black & White) image)

p.s. I´ve edited my previous post with the answer...

Twiggy & Avedon

One more image, shot by Richard Avedon. Taken by me at Foam museum in Amsterdam. :)

I took this one when I visited the exposition for the second time...with Evelyn! And despite the very small print, this one of Twiggy & Richard Avedon together in a studio in Paris (shot in april 1967) definitely is one of my favorites!

If you're in Amsterdam...go to FOAM!
