CLEOPATRA

Today I photographed Cleopatra and her girlfriend Miss Onion. Together they are a pair of simultaneous colors and I love it. It breathes an atmosphere of a colorful commonality. A way to celebrate summer and I thank my friends Hans and Paula who kindly provided me with this summer gift.

ENJOY

INSPIRATION

Today I’ve got my inspiration from the video by Kevin Mullins on his website. After all he got inspired by a book of photographer Darcy Padilla. He made a book review. You can find the photographer here: Darcy Padilla. 

So I went to Utrecht this afternoon. Start parking at 14.02; end parking at 14.55; due € 6,00. I took a couple of shots using some of the Jpeg-settings as told by Kevin. I enjoyed the view of every picture during the split-second of storage in camera. A lot of bikes from the students in Utrecht are parked along the canals. Mostly in bad condition. So Straight out of camera:

ENJOY

I also discovered the latest fashion about bikes:

BE PREPARED

Today, during my visit at De Kunsthal in Rotterdam, with the exhibition of Viktor&Rolf: Fashion Artists 25 Years, my camera ‘informed’ me to be out of energy. Normally I always throw two batteries in my backpack, which I forgot this time (grrrrr….). On top of all that I left my cell phone in my car as I had checked the opening times on internet (grrrr…again…). Maybe it’s time for a checklist…. Always be prepared is one of the items on You Tube concerning “to be a better photographer” …….. Anyway I made two shots.

ENJOY

BETOVERING

In het voormalig tijdschrift OOG (een uitgave van het Rijksmuseum – dat helaas gestopt is) lees ik een interview met Arthur Japin getiteld: ‘ONDANKS ALLES BLIJVEN DANSEN’. De layout van het tijdschrift vind ik ronduit betoverend. Een van de zaken die ik zelf betoverend vind, is vormgeving. Je vindt het terug in de natuur en soms slagen mensen erin iets te creëren dat daarmee samenvalt. Binnen het vierkante vlak vind ik dikwijls mijn vormgeving, zeker als dat in zwart-wit ontstaat. Vandaag ontdek ik onderstaande combinatie en vind het direct een juweel van een combinatie. Er gaat betovering van uit. Het sluit aan bij de titel van het interview en bij de layout van het blad.

ENJOY

ST. BAVO

 

I visited St. Bavo at Haarlem, the capital of the province Noord Holland of the Netherlands. A kind of Anton Pieck city with a center of remaining old houses and church from the past middle ages. The Bavo, as they call it, has a length of 108 meters and the width meets 47 meters at broadest. The wooden roof is at 10 meters and the tower meets 76 meters. The longest pipe of the Christian Müller organ has a length of 32 feet (10 meters).

The Bavo’s floor – the total building period during 1370 – 1538 – consists entirely of graphs. In total there are 1500 charts. The oldest of all from the 15th century.

The light falling through the stained glass windows is fantastic. The organist played softly in the background – so, I photographic merged into the light of St. Bavo.

ENJOY
