One of my first shots taken with my Canon 5D Mark II using my old workhorse lens, a Tokina 80-200 f2.8 ATX. I was visiting a friend and was showing him my new camera when I noticed his mother-in-law sitting by herself at the island across the room. There were a row of 3 hanging lights above the island with one just making it into the frame. The camera was in P mode and auto ISO selected. Without the EXIF data, I would have never believed that the shot was taken at 3200 ISO.

I woke up late the next morning. I'd been thinking about today for the past month, preparing to go to war with the Chicago Templars, but today I felt... different. It was an odd feeling. A giddy happiness mixed with fear. Like a graceful rage. I knew I couldn't get cold feet. It was too late for that. I had to stand and fight. When I woke up, I dressed in my new attire and got my weapons. My Assassin robes were made of a comfortable fabric that would allow me to run and climb, but it looked like normal clothing. I walked downstairs and got a cup of coffee. Some young women looked at me and giggled. I smiled at them. When I finished my coffee, I left my cup and exited the building. The weather was gloomy. a thick fog drifted through the air. I wandered about a block and turned into an alley. From the alley, I scaled a building. From on top I could see a tower through the fog. I jumped across the rooftops until I got to the tower. I climbed up the wall and onto the very top, from where I hung on and looked over the foggy city. I pulled out the list and read it in my head:
Joe Aiello
Joseph Ardizonne
Al "Scarface" Capone
Vincent "Mad Dog" Coll
Jack "Legs" Diamond
Vincent "The Schemer" Ducci
John Lazia
Antonio "The Scourge" Lombardo
Vincent Manganno
Salvatore Maranzano
Giuseppe "Joe The Boss" Masseria
Alfred Minio
Giuseppe Morello
Dean O'Banion
Joseph Pinzolo
Gaetano Reina
Arnold Rothstein
Dutch Schultz
Benjamin "Bugsy" Siegel
Earl "Hymie" Weiss
Frankie Yale
They were my targets. I would kill every last one of them. It was time to make a statement. War had begun.
Part 4 of Assassin's Creed: Noir
For the life of me I can't figure out why the background is pitch black... It was shot in natural light any ideas?
Shot with a canon 100mm f2.8 L IS USM Macro lens.
Shoot: Top Challenge 2007. Used in shoot: Nikon D70s, Nikkor 18-200 VR. All source images shot in NEF RAW. Images are Copyright Robert de Jong, All Rights Reserved.
yeah you.
there are a few of you here who i have corresponded with in a fashion that i would categorize under "friendship". in the past by this point i would've showered you with masses of missives (bidden or not!) because - aside from that having been a large, active, essential part of my expressive nature over the years - it was part of my desire to gift those i liked, cared about with something i could afford: my attention.
fast forward ... these past few days i have fretted over thinking of how anxious & frustrated i've been over not getting back to those of you who have written or vox'd me in recent weeks/months. and you know how it goes - the more time passes, the worse you feel, and then the harder it gets to catch up.
but, in addition to circumstances (enormous family stress, traveling cross-country again, being very very sick for 2 weeks post travel & that recovery, beginning another new period of gradual relocation etc.) i find myself also facing another? life period? something, where all i can come up with is: "i'm not who i used to be anymore. more things are being lost to me. and i can't pretend otherwise."
in this case i can't "catch up" like i used to, keep up, write as much, respond to everyone like i want/need to. i'm tireder, overwhelmed, busier (or so it feels), yet more internal & quiet for longer periods of time, more distracted, less able to concentrate & less often, less motivated, more discouraged, (more heartbroken), less inclined to "get involved" in things, the like.
so. tonight i sat down to try to write at least one of you, and couldn't choose one over another without feeling guilty. and then this came to mind, this photo. you may/may not realize it but i don't post many self-portraits anymore (and i think recent ones have all been back shots, abstractions). yeah this one is highly edited, but it is my face, in glaring light, looking right at you.
because i want you to know, that i may not be able to write, write back, respond to details, at least right now. but i think of you, a lot. when i like someone i think of them a lot, and at least try to keep track of them through whatever means possible. i look at your photos, read what you write, and think of you.
you are deeply appreciated.
love.

made this yesterday...
Now I have to sand sand sand
and then I'll glue the legs (I'm using putty in this pic) and colour them brightly for Jayou's room! I have 3 more stools.
In these days I like thinking of making my own furniture for puki because matching the size is really difficult.
I wanted a lot of megahouse items but some are very little. I also received a 1:18 Vespa model today and even if it fits well it's a bit to little.
So for simple furniture I'll do it myself.
Next project: Gugu's room! Since he's "so cool" he'll have an all white and black room, with minimalistic things and a big wardrobe.
I'd also like to do other mammut things, but they may be too complicated... maybe the bed? Or the library?
I took these five photographs when i had a photoshoot with my friend Jemma. She is the model in all of these five photographs. It was a fun filled day that had great out comes. I edited my photographs using piknik and i love how they turned out.
