I assassin down the avenue
I'm hiding out in the big city blinking
What was I thinking when I let go of you?

Some more alternative lighting, this time my cars headlights ;-)
Neighborhood walk with the puppy. He loves when I stop for photographs. He gets to nose around in the bushes at our feet. Today he startled and took off unexpectedly, yanking the leash from my hand. I caught up with him within moments, but still scary! I'm just relieved we all made it home fine. Luckily it wasn't while I was taking a photo, but still spooked me along with him.
Can't stand the chlorine so I am trying a different gym that has salt water pools. Unfortunately, they are still required to use a little bit of chlorine so the jury is still out on whether this will work for me. I really hope it does because I actual look forward to going to the gym when it is a swim day. In the meantime, I'm enjoying the rainbow bunting a lot. ;-)

i look like a monkey -.-
you don't even know how hard this was to do! i set up my camera, got the focus and everything ready. i put it on timer for 10seconds, i hit the button, i ran over to the ice, went onto the ice, grabbed a bunch of FREEEZING snow, ran back over to the camera, just in time to take the photo. and i did that 4 times, haha all in the name of art! my hands are still cold, and i did it like 30 minutes ago.
so last night at my run club, i was talking to some people are we are going to be doing this challenge. the challenge is to run 2500 km in 2012! a bunch of us are doing it, and each week we send in the distance we've run and we get a spread sheet of what everyones done, who's in the lead, etc. im really excited and i cant wait to beat the boys :) including the hot scottish guy, hahah.
NEW ONE DIRECTION VIDEO DIARY, WOOT WOOT. p.s the one in the reindeer sweater is my boyfriend.
IMPORTANT
okay, so i've made a seperate flickr page. i am not abandoning this one, i'm still going to use it like always (continuing with my 365 etc.) im simply using it to just upload extra photos and things i wouldn't normally upload to this stream.
i'm also just kinda using it as a stream to show family and friends just simple photography (probably mostly my dog lol). as this stream is really busy and i think they will be able to appreciate that stream more. i probably wont upload on it very often, but if you would like to add me as a contact feel free, this is it
After work I had to rush to get dressed up and drove over to a field right next to my apartment for this shot, to catch the sunset and coulds before they slipped away into the winter night. This was my first test shot, hence the coat. But I loved how it turned out!
Blog!
Super spontaneous shoot today, the light was so great at 5pm, I grabbed my camera and took plenty of photos and it went soooo well! I'm super happy with the results. I really feel like I'm learning these days, it feels so satisfying. I want to share several photos from this shoot, some of them are really interesting and different from this one, I think. Perfect time to make my first diptych, isn't it? In any case, the guy was quite happy.
What I learned today: Mixing diffuse and direct sunlight did not turn out as catastrophic as I imagined. Putting the extra effort to have that line of reflected light behind the model, it changes everything.

There was just *some*thing about Susan that drew me towards her to say 'would you mind if I took your photo?'
She had style, she had a gentle and friendly air of confidence about her, she looked quirky, but above all she looked like she had a story - something which never fails to draw me in...
...trouble was, she was in a hurry - already late meeting a friend. I rushed the photo and said,
'Think of something that you would like the readers to know about you.'
There was a little pause.
'I'm a recovering alcoholic, and haven't had a drink for 2 years.'
I congratulated her, gave her a little hug and said she looked absolutely great. I only wish she'd had more time, but I was grateful for the 5 mins she shared with me. Photo in the post as Susan is one of those lucky people that isn't online!
Apologies for the ANNOYING man in the blue coat. It really distracts the eye away from my lovely stranger :( I was in such a rush that I didn't notice him at the time otherwise I would have yelled at him to shift. Or I could have moved myself I suppose ;)
Susan is #39 in my 100 strangers project. Find out more about the project and see pictures taken by other photographers at the 100 Strangers Flickr Group page
Non sono l'unico autore di questa foto.
Si tratta infatti di un progetto di sovrapposizioni. Una persona scatta un intero rullino lo ricarica e lo spedisce ad un'altra persona che lo ricaricherà in macchina. Esponendo ognuno per la metà del tempo si ottiene una esposizione decente.

Today was a typical lazy Saturday. Waking up late, having yummy breakfast, not doing anything. We traveled to Zwolle and I had to bring a lot of stuff, so that was quite the hassle.
Afterwards I had dinner with Mattijs' parents and then I saw the girls again (all of them: Anouk, Anne, Bibi, Celine, Manda) for the first time in a while and I had so much fun:)
The company where I've been doing some work was founded in 1939 and has this mint condition 1939 Chevy parked by the front entrance.
