Drang exposition

I don't even want to blog about this because I didn't win the price...

But...I'm an optimistic loser so I always see the bright side of negativity. Yes!


47 images were placed on the walls of the long hallway at Winston Hotel. I really appreciate all the work they've done to all these pictures. I like the paper golden frame. :)






Unfortunately, together with five other pictures, my picture was shown on the part of the wall with no light at all (OF COURSE. I'm always f****d.)...so I had to take this picture with flash.


The founders and organizers of the Drang competition. Announcing THE WINNER........ at the end of the small hallway.

You can see my picture and the other ones until the 28th of november at Winston Hotel.

Or you can just contact me and I'll show you the original picture on medium format and plus, I'll buy you a cup of coffee and we can have a talk about life and our favorite-things-to-do.

Next post will be a happy one.

Frans Verlinden Artprize 2009

A few posts ago, I told you something about my photography career. Well, it's official, so I can tell you all about it: I've been nominated for the Frans Verlinden Artprize 2009 for my work 'Garance Doré in FOAM'.

The invitation.

I won't win the price (which is a midweek to Berlin in an apartment, right in the heart of the city!) because the work of the other 46 (!!) nominees is just amaaazingly beautiful.

But still, I feel flattered.
Many thanks to Kiki, for letting me know about the existence of this competition.

So, if you're in Amsterdam on this date...please come to Winston and check out the work of all the nominees. :)

Check out the blog of the girl, standing on the left holding the red notebook. :)
It's supercool!

So, for those of you who haven't seen the Fashion Blog expo yet....go see it! Keep in mind, the expo's final day is this sunday (23rd of august)!
Go with discount. :)

Massimo Vitali @ FOAM

Hello, hello!

There are two (actually, there are more expo's at the moment!) very interesting expositions at FOAM museum in Amsterdam. One is, of course, the Garance Doré Fashion Blog expo (will post a picture of her posing for me, very soon! ish.). And the other one is the expo of Italian photographer Massimo Vitali oh my, oh my! With his Deardorff 11 inch x 14 inch camera he shoots in public places like beaches and touristic destinations with large groups of people. The photo's are being scaled to a larger size so that you can see the details of what's occuring during that particular moment.

If you click on the link, you can hear the sound of the beach.....so peaceful. Just put it on while you're laying on bed...so nice.
Or just go to his portfolio...and check out the 3rd picture in particular...you can check out that picture in an extremely larger scale!!
I don't have many readers from Amsterdam. But when you're in the city...you should go to FOAM!
(FOAM should pay me because of this promotional post.)

Here are my personal beach pics which I've taken a few weeks ago in Bloemendaal. :)

I gotcha! This birdie knew I wanted to take a pic and tried to escape from being caught on camera...but I got him on time. Ha-ha.

Au revoir, Garance Doré

Oui oui,

Miss Doré just left Amsterdam. Yes, you've guessed it right. The lady from the back was indeed Miss Doré.
Here are some pictures of the day Garance was being interviewed at FOAM Museum.

She also posed for me after I asked if I could take a picture of her with my antique camera. I hope to develop the film as soon as possible!

Une source d´inspiration; G.D.

Ooh la laaa...c´est magnifique...c´est...incroyable!
Her blog is more delicious than a french chocolate croissant!!
(hm, I´m actually not really sure about that...)

She´s coming to Amsterdam...! And she will probably come during Amsterdam International Fashion Week in july.



I would love to know her opinion of the streetstyle fashion in Amsterdam. Because, to be honest, the style you see here is nothing compared to the fashion style you see on the streets of Paris:





She started her blog in june 2006 posting funny and sexy illustrations like these ones:







But she´s mostly known for her fashion treasures, found on the streets during fashion weeks.









What I like about her site is that she´s not only posting complete outfits but also the faces. She´s getting somewhat more intimate with these people she encounters and sometimes writes a short story of the meeting.









I hope to meet up with her and have a lil photoshoot with my Yashica. :)

But I´m sure I´m not the only one in The Netherlands who knows about this. I think it´s gonna be a lot of pushing and shoving, biting, punching and kicking (á la Japanese style) for a picture of Garance Doré.
