La Fonera 1

About ten days ago I received a little credit card alike voucher from FON. I putted the thing in the back pocket of my favorite jeans. When I checked my pockets before I put the jeans in to the washing machine I found the FON voucher. I immediately filled in the form on my FON user zone and threw away the card. Today, about seven days later my trousers are still not washed but I received my “LA FONERA”. It also made me remember that I have to do the laundry. In about 15 minutes the “thing” was installed in the darkest place in my house to stay there forever… and the washing machine is peacefully spinning, washing my favorite jeans.

Preparing delight modefabriek (fashion factory) 0







Very stormy weather in Aalsmeer. We were safe working inside. Aalsmeer is situated just under one of the Schiphol runways and the airplanes are flying over very very low. A destructive wind was trying to destruct our former greenhouse. Nothing happened anyway. We were too busy finishing the fourniture for the event in the RAI.

The last three days I worked on a presentation, a book, and a set of presentation cards and some little changes on the Delight logo for my dear friend Huub Waaldijk from Delight. Delight is a small company doing big things on event design. Sunday 22 januari and Monday 23 januari 2007 the modefabriek (fashion factory) has a big event in the RAI in Amsterdam. The interior there is totally designed by Huub, from Delight event design. The books are made for PR purposes.
If you want to come over to the event, send me a comment with an email address attached and I will send you an invitation.

My sister rented a complete touringcar to take the whole family to the mediapark in Hilversum for the skate-off of the dutch television show Stars onIce. My brother in law is one of the skaters and we were there as his supporters. Bas is skating with Molly Perry as his partner.
It is a competition where a TV celebrity forms a couple with a professional ice dancer(in) and has to do a “kühr” or dance.
There will be 12 shows and after each show one couple has to leave the competition. Bas made it this time!

Here are two video’s of the new introduced Apple iPhone. After the announcement was made the news was in no time number one search in Technorati.
A story submitted to Digg.com today with a picture of the long-awaited Apple iPhone has become the most Dugg story on the socially driven news and content website Digg.com, ever! The feat was accomplished in a record 12 hours. The submission has also gotten a hefty 1350 comments and counting.
The iPhone runs OSX. APPL Nasdaq closes 9 procent higher and trades 27606100 million stocks. This is shocking news I proudly show on my photo blog (as a BIG Apple fan).

No, your’e not drunken. I wasn’t. And my lens is not fuzzy or wet. This photo is made in the reflection of a traffic-mirror, near the “artist entrance” of the police station Middenweg, Amsterdam. I’ve had no business there. It’s a short cut to home nobody knows about.

New year’s Party, dracul on the ocean diva and ameland ships 0






Tess



Visited a nice party in Amsterdam. Dracul. It was on two big party ships, the Ameland and the Ocean Diva, somewere in Amsterdam North. Our host, count Dracula, came out of a coffin at exactly 0:00 and welcomed us all on his party. It was full of gipsy’s and there were all gipsy/balcan live bands playing weird gipsy rock music. Tess and me were navigating our way trough partying and dancing people to the immortal room on the ships top deck again and again. The drinks there were free of charge for us and the Wodka/cranberry juice came out of hospital feeding bags and looked like there was blood inside it. Drunk a lot and got drunk. Woww…
The party shots will also be published on the Dracul website later this week.
Shots taken with a nikon D70s and a 20mm F4 Ai nikkor or a 35mm F2 Ai mounted both from the late seventies.
