L’INTERIEUR

Het interieur. De binnenkant. Hoe het eruit ziet, zouden wij Nederlanders zeggen. In het Frans klinkt het veel spannender. Geheimzinniger en verrassender ook. Dat was het zeker. Na drie deuren geprobeerd te hebben, kwam ik vandaag door de oude voordeur van ’t Veerhuis nabij het oude veer van Opheusden. Het bleek een restaurant. Een juweeltje zoals je ze zelden nog ziet. Pure nostalgie zoals de website zegt. Eenmaal binnen kon ik niet nalaten het interieur vast te leggen. Eeuwenoud, daar aan de Rijn en om van de smullen.

ENJOY!

CHAIRS

First the design. I thrive on that. Immediately I see the image in black and white in front of me.

The age of course and the shadows too. That pattern in the wood!

All in all a gem of a ranking, just somewhere in a restaurant. A photographic present, that’s how it feels.

And you have to take it right away before it’s gone. That’s how it often happens in photography. If you see it, photograph it. Before you know it’s gone. Later on you can take another good look.

I must have made more than one.

ENJOY!

DAY 036 – 100 DAY JOURNAL (2) – LECTURES

Today I attend the lectures. Not really off course, but a kind of. Because of the need to spent some time in a town called Nijmegen (my wife visited the barbershop) I was looking for a ice-cream. As I could not find any store I decided to visit a well known tearoom in the center of that town. So I ordered a coffee and a small cake. Surprisingly they offered a so called ‘hazelino’. I had to try it out. It did not feel like punishing, so

ENJOY !

DAY 035 – 100 DAY JOURNAL (2) – WEEKEND

“It’s a fine start of the weekend”, she said. And she was right. The waitress of the restaurant somewhere in Arnhem. I went there because today the estate agent of my current house informed me about the selling price possible. So the start of the weekend in my new home town  was enjoyable. My only today’s advise remains:

ENJOY !

DAY 016 – 100 DAY JOURNAL (2) – CHAIRS

Today I used my bike riding through ‘het Deeler Woud’. I have been  treated well by my wife. A real lunch with a salad and bread with mackerel. Delicous. We were sitting in the garden of restaurant ‘de Woeste Hoeve’. A place where Napoleon has been before! In the middle of nature. Somehow people are noisy. However we dispose of national highways, it leads to a lot of noise. Happyly I saw wonderfull old chairs on the pavement of the restaurant.

ENJOY !

DAY 009 – 100 DAY JOURNAL (2) – SOUP

During this Whit Sunday I had to make soup. So I linked myself to Jamy Oliver. The two of a kind tomatosoup is easy to create. Even in my own kitchen.

ENJOY

DAY 070 – 100 DAY JOURNAL – COLORS

 

FIETS

COLORS

Today I found colors on my way. Inside the restaurant they showed several bottles with a different color in order to invite people passing by. In one of the corners, near a window, I saw the green/yellow combination combining the parked bike. In no time another biker passed the window. I felt like HCB pressing the button in time. The decisive moment. At home I saw the biker passing had a red cycle-bag too. Lucky me.

Up till now, day 70, I still wonder about seeing something of interest day by day. Meanwhile I enjoy the process of exploring my cameras.

I recommend every photographer to shoot daily, because like Louis Armstrong sang a long time ago:

WHAT A WONDERFUL WORLD

I agree and repeat once more:

ENJOY LIFE

DAY 066 – 100 DAY JOURNAL – LIGHT

‘YOUR LIFE IS: THE WAY YOU LOOK AT IT’

That’s what I red today in an article of a magazine. So I said to myself: stop grumbling and live your life! So the light goes on….. Especially today, because it’s living a cold and windy day with no sunshine at all. Yes, I saw the light in a small pub in the neighborhood. Just in the window-sill it was waiting for me. I immediately shared it with my kids in order to start the day at a same level. As a photographer you should know it’s all about light, but sometimes it’s good something reminds you to it.

DAY 047 – 100 DAY JOURNAL – TOGETHER AGAIN

TOGETHER AGAIN

WIT.JPGF7753-bewerkt-2

Sometimes life seems like a repetition of yesterday. The truth is it’s new whine at an other place to be. Today I enjoyed the beach with afterwards a glass of wine. Walking along the beach means getting mindful. You don’t have to think. Listening the waves is enough to fill the hours passing by. First walking against the wind and later on – when the wind was with us – thinking of what to do at the end. Ordering wine at the end is a efficacious medication to remove cold. Today, without any words, the cold wind instruct us to order that good old prescription. It worked out very well.

DAY 046 – 100 DAY JOURNAL – TOGETHER

WIJN

 

TOGETHER

Sometimes it’s a good habit to finish the working day with a glass. However I did not work at all today, I found such a habit extremely relevant to it. Especially when your partner in crime shows her own interests for such a action.

At restaurant Opazzo in Rotterdam they know everything about wine. And of course about Italian food too. The place is well suited for relaxing at the end of the (working) day. During this small drink festival I found plenty of testing time to photograph with the aperture fully open. I liked to discover both circles.

ENJOY LIFE
