tagged me, so here's 8 random facts 'bout me

1 I am way to old for this
2 I've got a publication in the summer edition of Vain Magazine,
my first print-pub
3 Everyday I think about cycling to my studio tomorrow...
4 Most people in Holland know some of my music, but most people
don't know it's mine, which is a very good thing.
5 My best friend is over from Ireland, partytime!
6 My house is pyramid-shaped and has a turf roof with grass and flowers
7 My daughter turns 13 this Sunday
8 I am a big Allan Holdsworth fan

Just wanted to change my journal....I'm seeing enough of my neighbour as it is, and seeing him sitting on that chair, trying to fly, everytime I log on to DA is beginning to get on my nerves, although I still love the image....and him of course NEXT!

I'm doing a shoot next weekend with my-main-model Maan
Just before she takes off to Japan, and just after her second tattoo session, can't miss, this is going to be special.

Last saturday I did a shoot together with the ridiculously talented and one-of-a-kind Toeps We shot most of it on film. Only available light, using our 2 Holga's with 120 film (her's with 3 coloured flash), her Canon 35mm, my Hasselblad 201F, her Polaroid and some through-the-viewfinder shooting with my Kodak Duaflex (with a Canon 5D). Rain was pouring down all day long, shuttertimes were way up, and it's the first time I used ISO 3200 on my 5D.
Anton Corbijn once said that he loved shooting film, partly because of the excitement of leaving a shoot, flying back home with the films and finding out at home if the shoot was any good. I'm beginning to see what he means, and I like it too....So hopefully, end of this week, some new, analogue contributions.

EDIT

'Blue' is from this shoot

After Lara Jade [link] featured my work, and my D.D. with Learning to Fly, I've received close to 3000 messages in a couple of days, and they are still pouring in. There's no way I can begin to thank you all personally, so this is my big THANK YOU!!! to everybody who fav'd and commented, and of course to everyone who added me to their friends-list.

A lot of people have asked me 'how I (he!) did it'. Well, explaining and showing how it's done could take away the magic, and the surprise....but for me D.A. is about inspiration, and learning from others too. So, just because I love behind-the-scenes stuff myself, here's one of the unedited shots.
The final edit, putting the chair underneath him, was very easy. (The chair was taken from another shot) The lighting set-up was basic too: an Elinchrom indirect Octalite above him, a bit to the right, pointing down. You can just see part of the Octalite in the frame. I used Alien Skin's Exposure to get the grain and final color. Camera Canon 5D, with a 24-70/2.8L.
