Busy bee.

I graduated college exactly two weeks ago!

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!

Queen´s day - 2009 (April, 30th)

Queen´s day! Beerday!


- Wibautstraat -

- Marie Heinekenplein -


- Marie Heinekenplein -


- Ferdinand Bolstraat (extremely large picture...!) -

Oh oh oh...earlier that day, there was an attack on our queen in another city (Apeldoorn):
This man drove through two police barriers and people who were just waving to our queen. They got hit the car from the back. And because of the crash, the car (total wreck) wasn´t able to make it to the bus of our queen anymore (and the whole royal family!) and drove against a statue.

Paradiso...fiasco

First of all...sorry for the lack of posts. I've been very busy with my thesis!

So...I think I was about 18 or 19 years old when I first went to Paradiso. It's a nightclub (former church), concert location and also a perfect set for televisionshows. :)
Yesterday, I went to Noodlanding...for the 980.990.003rd time. Despite I was accompanied by four ladies and my buddy Joey, this time it wasn't really that great; it was quite empty and there weren't a lot of interesting people to meet.......fiasco!!
Sorry, buddies (if you're reading this!)! Haha.
Who has experienced a fiasco night out??

But uhm, here's a picture of Paradiso I shot about a week ago.


Paradiso. Taken on a very hot day!

Mediamatic - R.I.P. exhibition

A photographer went to Harlem, NYC, and photographed the dead people in their coffins. Yesterday was the opening of this exhibition in Medimatic in Vijzelstraat!


- Death people in their coffins -


- Mediamatic was founded by Willem Velthoven (man with the microphone and Jans Possel (lady in white with photo-camera)) -


- You could also go to Heaven with the roller stairs. Once in 'Heaven', there was a small exhibition of coffins made in Ghana, Africa -


- Nike shoe coffin! -




- Oh my GOD. It's Mudboy and he creates the most dreamy music I've ever heard. If you're either drunk or 'high on crack', I think he can put you in a trance with his music and kidnap you to his hometown Portland, Rhode Island.-


- Party 'till 1am. -

More pics will be uploaded to my personal website

Nieuwe ronde, Nieuwe kansen

Yeah, 'New round, New chances! It's 2009. Let's do it all over again.

Oh my LORD. What a night. I celebrated New Years Eve with friends starting with a nice dinner and booze. I'm glad we didn't had any fireworks because most of us were quite drunk at twelve. We would've blown our hands off, for sure.


- One of my mates bought some very nice thin cigars...I'm not a smoker. But yesterday, I smoked (a half!!) one. (This is not a 'blunt'!) -


- My friend, Eva, lives on the third floor so we had a good view! Yeah, sorry it's not a sharp picture but I had to be very fast for this one. If you look closely, you can see the trail of fire. :) -


- This was somewhere else. Me and a friend were going to this other party where his girlfriend was. But a lot of people were about to leave to a bar somewhere around the corner. So...they left us with a lot of drinks...hahaha...oh boy. -


- The place had a great view of the 'Maagdenbrug'. -


- My mate's girlfriend...drunk as hell! We didn't expect that, so we stayed there to take care of her. Poor thing. I fell asleep until 9-ish in the morning and around that time, we all decided it was time to go back home. -


- It looks like they had a party on this bridge! I hope no one fell off from this bridge into the water. But later that day, I heard on the news that they found a body of a man in one of the canals... -


- Fireworks... -


- Bikes -

If you reach the year 2010, I hope you're going to look back to 2009 with no regrets. Live your life to the max because it will be all over before you know it.

Last post...

...of this year!

I don't have the time to make a beautiful post with some nice pictures. So instead, just a picture of a text I found online.

I wish you all the best in the new year!
I hope 2009 will become an even better year than 2008. I have my doubts about that because 2008 was a very special year to me. Probably one of the best years of my whole life.

Enough rambling.

Have a great day / evening / night...

I hope to see you all in 2009!
