Two brothers playing during the Ski to Sea 2011 event, the oppurtunity was golden, so, the creeping was worth it.
I had the oppurtunity at the Sony Store in Berlin to test the Sony 70-300G SSM on my A55. I was curious about the results. I'm not sure at the end. The price is about 900-1000 Euro.
Tell me your opinion if it would be a good buy or not...
This picture will always remind me of Coe and fond memories as I look on the campus. I took this self portrait during my last few days on campus. I was tranquil, and thinking about the great and life altering experiences that I had on this beautiful campus, and from all the other oppurtunities that Coe offered..
Crop suggestion taken. Cheers!

God, im old I still can't believe its been three years since I began writing for the sims. This is sooo unreal! Its odd looking back and remember my 13 year-old-self and my REALLY REALLY imature stories lol.
Anyway! I'M FUCKING SIXTEEN!!!! Hahah its been a while since I've uploaded a new picture of myself and I figured this was a good oppurtunity. Yeah, you should have seen the other photos in this batch, I look like a fucking druggy lol!!
I finally got an iTouch from my parents. LOVE THEM BOTH! HAHAH, i've had a 3rd generation nano for the past year and a half and ever since the iTouchs came out of been DIEING FOR ONE! Yeah, the only bad thing about having a ton of songs on my iPod is how loooong it took for the dumb thing to sync!
Its funny today my mommy and I were talking about the day I was born (corny i know) and she goes "You should get ME a present. I did all the hard work 16 years ago today!" and then I go "Yeah, but I had the job of GROWING! That couldn't have been easy!" I honestly have no idea! I can't fucking remember!
ALSO...
Shoutout to all you Michael Jackson fans. His memorial service is today.

This photo was taken in a big Hindu temple in the center of Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. In my opinion, this photo describes the Malaysian hospitality.
In the five months that I lived in Malaysia, I have been invided to at least five weddings, both Hindu and Islamic, while just passing the street! The first time, it felt a little strange because in The Netherlands a wedding is a 'private party' that you have with friends and family. But in Malaysia they want to share it. They love to have you on their wedding photos (because knowing white, 'rich people' gives you a higher status). I really wanted to see the wedding rituals so I went inside the temple, but it was really embarrasing when the master of the ceremonies said that I have to stand next to the bride (where this picture is made). I was standing in the front, even 'higher' than the family. I felt really embarrased but the guests really loved it! And secretly, it was a good oppurtunity to see it all and take some nice photos! The wedding was awesome: the temple was beautiful with all the colourfull god statues, a lot of offers, the typical smell of a combination of flowers and incense, the guests weared beautiful clothes and the music was awesome. It was such a great atmosphere!
(Actually this photo was NOT taken on December 12, 2009 as written in the description above, but on December 12, 2010.)

This piece deal's quite literally with the fascination we have with body image in Modern Society and also the oppurtunities that progress in modern medical science now offers us. If we dont like an aspect of ourselves we change it.

This was the 3985's trip in 2004; rare to see this locomotive run during the wintertime, but it presented a great oppurtunity to see really large amounts of steam emerging from this engine.

After a whole day's rain with little wind in the evening, it was a good oppurtunity to improve on the first attempt. Things happen to fit perfectly together when the windsock drifted and sat still to the left.

These children are in prison with their mothers. They will live with their mom in prison until they are five. When they reach age five the mother will try and find relatives to take them. If none can be found, they go to an orphanage, or live on the street.
Here is a link to a website set up by the orphange that is building a facility for these children so they can have an oppurtunity for education and social development.

Inspired by Lisa Lawley and her shot of one of these, I jumped at the oppurtunity to photograph one of these today. It was on a massive complex of web and leaves... it was amazing! I love the markings on the face and its size was what impressed me most.
Also I though you might like to know I have aquired work experience at a certain swan sanctuary... so some pictures of swans might be making their way onto flickr in the coming week :)
Have a good week all!!

Phone cams don't jump to mind when you think about good cameras. But I really enjoy my iphone 4 because it is always with me when I run into some unexpected oppurtunity. There are also some really fun apps that simulate old film, lenses, hdr, tilt-shift.

My first!
And because it is my first for the project, it needs a proper entry:
What a perfect person to start my project with. Katherine epitomizes the reason why I started street photography in the first place. I'd walk down the street and spot a sight of AWESOMENESS. Then I get an undeniable urge to photograph it! This is exactly what happened with Katharina.
So, I was walking down the street (go figure, huh?) to get to the Geldautomat (aka ATM) because I had no cash to buy myself a delicious Döner Kebap. I get about 100 meters to the spot, then BOOM! PINK EXPLOSION! PINK PANTS AND PINK PURSE! What a BOLD WOMAN! The color just screams "Hey, hey, take a picture!" I freak'n LOVE people who wear bold colors. Immediately, I get a twitch. My trigger finger keeps getting signals from my brain to click the shutter. But I can't, not yet. She's too far away. As she is walking in the same direction as I, I continue my path to intersect hers. Unfortunately, at the time of crossing, she was on the phone. I thought it'd be rude to bother her. And so, I walk past, missing that oppurtunity. I continue to the ATM.
Take two! Right when I finished grabbing my cash she comes walking down the stairs. I see the pink again. I get that twitch again. I wait till she comes off the stairs and then take the plunge. I was not going to let the opportunity slip me again. "CARPE DIEM!" is my life motto! I didn't even bother with a German opening; she looks like a student, and they're all fluent in English (Good, because mein Deutsch ist noch schlecht). She asked why I wanted to take her photo, and so I tell her about the project. She thought it was a pretty cool idea and asked if I had anything on the internet to check it out. So I gave her my card (that's right, a card. To become a Professional, you have to BE professional, right? :D ). I asked her what made her want to wear that color. Simply she quipped, "It's the best color!" I can concur. Shoot, even I love wearing pink!
I wish I would have talk to her more to hear her story. Maybe if she checks this out I can (and maybe yell at me if I got her name misspelled).
-Check out the 100 Strangers website where I got the idea from.
When life gives you waves, go surfing! Strong winds gusting in excess of 35mph on Lake Mendota gave a great oppurtunity for some autumn surfing.

A few of us managed to draw out the Squam magic a little longer at this lovely farmhouse nearby. I can't tell you yet what we were up to but I can tell you that these are some of the most interesting, fun women I've shared a meal with. Given how busy they all were during Squam (Elizabeth next to me is behind the whole thing, Michelle opposite her is her assistant director and Thea and Tory were busy documenting everything) I'm so glad I had this oppurtunity to spend some time with them all. We were busy, but there was also plenty of laughter and a lot of precious sharing about how we live our creative businesses.
