Day 67 - What do you think? (Skipped Post)

Sometimes it's hard to know what people see in art.... some of us see a polar bear in a statue where others simply see a naked woman (come to think of it, some of my friends see naked women in everything they see), and it goes the same for photography.
I see a lot of possibilities for this photo, as well as a lot of names for or stories behind it.
Today I want to keep my ideas a secret and have you all name this photo, or otherwise give it a story.
This could be anything ranging from Sleeping Beauty (NL: Doornroosje)(for the Dutchies: Saw what I did there *wink, wink, nudge, nudge, you know what I mean, you know what I mean?* ) or telling me that it should be an advertisement of some sort.
Just let me know...

Wanted: Models

Hello All,

as most of you know I love doing portraits and now I want to expand my portait portfolio. For this I have everything I need except for models. So I am asking you to sign up as a model. I cannot pay you anything for it, but, if everything goes right, you will have some nice portrait photos of yourself.
You can sign up by sending me an email, phoning me up, talking to me in person or leave a response down at the bottom of this page in the reply section.
I'm not sure yet whether it will be a day of shooting everyone on the same day, or maybe private shoots, but I'll figure that one out when I get some signer-uppers ;)
I want say one more thing, and that is that everyone is welcome
Read on a little bit to see what you need to do >>>>>

Panoramic

Some time back I bought a camera (film 35mm) that was able to get great panoramas. I thought it was about time that I scanned some and show them to you. So without further ado here are the first scans from my panoramic film camera.

 The photos have all been made by a camera called the sprocket rocket and it takes photos over the length of two normal 36x24mm frames. This also means it's a "true" panoramic, because a true panoramic needs to have a ratio of at least 3:1.

The bnw photos are converted colour photos and are made in Antwerp, Belgium.
The single colour photo has been taken in Berg en Dal, Netherlands.

She will be missed

It was iconic, angelic even! Amidst all those generic blacks and silvers it stood alone guarding the gates of better computing and GUE (General User Enjoyment). The right hand of many a photographer and musician, fully giving itself to them to further help them struggle for artistic freedom.. It was a symbol of us who were not afraid to show that we were different from the rest, secretly knowing that our friend with the half eaten apple let us explore ourselves more than any other instrument of art.. If course it made some of us snobby, but for the larger part we simply stayed true to the initial mindset: a better tool for specific purposes. Yes she looked like a movie star, but that was just part of the attraction, it was what was inside that counted most, and even more so counted that what she did with the capabilities she had. By all of us who have named her and kept her close to their hearts, she will be missed..

Photo Books NSFW

As I am working hard on my second photo book (this one probably not so affordable by the masses as even I myself will have a hard time coming up with the money and it's my book for COL (crying out loud)) I have also been looking at work by others. There is a lot of really bad stuff out there, but between all the clutter you sometimes find something shiny. In this case it turned out that the shiny object was silver. Black & White silver. Take a look at this photo book by Eddy Rosa.
Enjoy

Antwerp - Teachers and Hipsta

Hello All.
After two weeks of absence I am back again with some nice shots of Antwerp, Belgium.
Me and all my fellow teachers of UC (the school I taught at until recently) went out for a trip to Antwerp and we had a great time, great beer and above all, Great Weather.
Next to all the rolls of film I shot I also shot some hipstamatic :)

Photo Book

A couple of weeks ago I made a book. Weird to say made, but "wrote" isn't really the correct word for it. I could say "I shot, compiled and put in order" a book. Well, this isn't really the place for semantics, but you'll probably get my drift..
The book is compiled of photos I took exclusively with my iPhone, and better yet, Hipstamatic...

Morning Light

Long time no see faithful readers ;)

Today a short post to try and get my blog running again. 

Although I have been taking numerous photos with my new cameras  I also still run around a lot with Hipstamatic (HIPSTAMATIC. YEEEEEEY).
