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...

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!

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).

Pretty much everything

A few weeks ago I went to the exhibition of duo Photographers Inez van Lamsweerde & Vinoodh Matadin at FOAM museum in Amsterdam:


My friend Danique in the front...and other visitors in the back. :)


This picture got removed from my Facebook page by Facebook...(what's the big deal???)!




Go see it now...('till the 15th of september!) it's worth every penny.

Party on film

So I finally got the film roll of my Olympus Pen EE developed and the pictures turned out really interesting...


No cars. At all.

These pics were taken during the annual carless sunday about a month ago. I've already posted these ones on Facebook, but for those of you who don't use Facebook or aren't 'friends' with me (haha)...here you go!


Tunnelfest 2009 at the 'Toronto Tunnel'.





I'm so broke right now but I need to get me some more film rolls for my camera's! It's addicting.
