As a birthday present I promised a friend to shoot her, so she would have some decent shots of her new look.

The wonderful city of Utrecht offers plenty of diverse settings, all close to home, so we went to a building site (I visited before, see my Exploitation shot) and for a contrasting softer outcome we chose the city canals.

 

I really wanted to share some with you here on Flickr. Not all, because we ended up with 25 'ooh this one is good too!'-shots. I guess I have to learn to select a bit better, if I want to take this to the next level. Editing all 25 was quite a job.

 

Tips are very welcome!

This was a Porsche 911 (997) GT3 RS...

Our friend had bought it 3 weeks before, and this was his first and last race in Hockenheim

The guy on the left side with the helm is his son

I'll bet you can't tell what she was doing... She was in front of the stove cooking. This pretty AND a good cook.

UPDATE:

 

Sadly, we had to make the terrifically difficult decision to euthanize our dear friend Jake on Monday night. Although he'd seemed briefly better on Monday morning 8/17/09, after I departed for work, he again showed extreme and unrelenting pain and now showed neurological signs. My wife rushed Jake to the Seattle Veterinary Services facility in Kirkland, where he was evaluated by Sean Sanders, DVM, PhD - a skilled veterinary neurologist and neurosurgeon whom my wife immensely respects. Dr. Sanders found that Jake had CNS signs, so we decided to evaluate him by MRI (magnetic resonance imaging). Sadly, Dr. Sanders found that Jake had a 2 cm mass and probable tumor, centrally located within Jake's brain. After consulting with a few friends and veterinarians and knowing the grave prognosis even with surgery (which would not be able to remove all of his well-vascularized tumor and which would have had significant risks itself) and radiation, we made the difficult decision to euthanize Jake. Of course we are all sad and we will all miss his kind heart, his affection, his happy outlook and constant desire for play. We will remember him for his soft gentle ways, his atheleticism, and his kisses. My youngest son who always had Jake as his companion at night is especially crushed - he is tough on the outside but gentle and kind on the inside - kinda like Jake. My oldest son was his constant running companion and I know he will miss Jake as much as Jake adored him. My middle son who is especially attuned to animals of all types knows this was the best decision for Jake, but is so sad at how short Jake's life was - he was only 3. In 22 years of practicing veterinary medicine, my wife has only seen brain cancer claim the life of so young a dog one time before. She of course understands, but she is the most loving of animal lovers, and Jake was one of her favorites. He was good for my family, and I will miss his enthusiasm for everything.

 

We buried Jake last night, and we will make a marker this weekend, and plant a few trees in his memory. My son wants to plant a peach tree to remember his sweetness and a Cedar tree to remember his strength, and we will do that this weekend as well.

 

Thanks all for your understanding. I'll get back to posting pictures in a few days.

 

EARLIER POST:

I'm posting this today hoping all of my Flickr friends will be thinking of my friend Jake today. He is terribly ill, and we're not sure of the cause (my wife is a veterinarian, and she is doing everything she can).

 

Jake is only 3 years old, and he has been a wonderful and sweet loving dog. He has been a great companion to us all, and he's been my youngest son's dog since we brought him home a few years ago.

 

We were on vacation with friends looking after our house and animals, and got a call the first day we were gone that Jake had chewed a bedspread. He ended up spending our vacation in the vet hospital (just to make sure he didn't pull any more stunts like the bedspread diet). During his stay, he seemed to come down with an ear infection. It has progressed, and when we returned (a week ago), he was still painful.

 

Now he is crying constantly despite being on Tramadol, and he is on broad spectrum antibiotics (antifungal, antibacterial etc.) and prednisone, yet not at all better. This morning has been terrible for him. I'm soon to leave the house to retrieve my two youngest sons who have been spending the week at my sister-in-law's farm in Oregon so they can be with Jake.

 

We hope he turns around, but I know when my wife feels she has been defeated (and I respect her knowledge immensely...she is sharp, and the most caring vet I know...she has a great reputation with her clients too.

 

Please be thinking of my guy today. I hope he gets better!

No matter what happens, he always be there...

Did a mini shoot with Lynne for her university graduation announcements. Here's my fave so far...

For the Deadline Painting Group's April deadline, - subject, "Friend". The eyes have it . . .

I wasn't going to touch it, but the mantis was reaching out for me. So I let it crawl on me as it wished.

had many laughs together recently (late Oct-early Sep07)

This is Ilse's friend. I forgot his name and I can't read his handwriting in my pink-flowery book, where both wrote their mailadresses.

 

I liked this photo the most, because of his smiling eyes.

And maybe he was thinking.. strange lady walking around us taking pictures, but it's okay..

If he was.. I can relate to it, haha.

 

I loved his hare colour but then find out it wasn't his.. it is growing out already. He has the real Frysian look.. with white blond hair.. so funny.

  

My friend Mathew sent me this mug after a conversation we had on Twitter a few nights ago. He said nobody deserved to treat herself more than I do, to which I replied I could do with that slogan on a poster/mug/t-shirt right now. And guess what, he did.

 

How sweet. Thanks, Mat.
