Man in Motion



I think I got it all now...a serie in the making, tomorrow I will show my fellow classmates, what I think is a man in motion. A bit scary, but I think it's a good serie, some don't quite fit in yet, but that's ok. Let it grow, learn some patience (talking to myself now). Can't wait to show it though and to see what they've come up with...:)







Update: I like this one a lot, but it didn't seem to fit the serie...still... I just couldn't let it collect dust...so here it is...:)

Gilles de la Tourette Photographer...


She's been a sleep for a while, taking a well deserverd break from shooting a 1000 pictures a week during the Zomerterras in Vlaardingen (august)...but she's back! The one and only...Gilles de la Tourette Photographer of the World, the magnificant...Zoomfreaky....Wheeeeeeeeeee.

And now a bit more seriously. I lost a bit of my spunk due to overdoing what I love most. But the Photography course is really stimulating me again to pick up my friend and start roaming the streets once more...:) These are some pict of the last two days...







A sad old beaten Cadillac limo on my way to the trainstation (Rotterdam CS) on the way home....
Because I'm practicing to shoot in series I shot one half with a hard flash and hard contrast and the other out of my hand with motionblur....it was night already then. Has to give the photo's a hard edge. Hope it worked. The serie is not complete yet, think I'll have to go back a couple of times...but it's such a strange site to see, such a beautiful car...the holy cow of holy cows...standing sad but proud in a parkinglot, like it's gonna take off any minute now...a strange grave for one so beautiful...

Serious Photographer...em...Me?


Yesterday was the first night of my photocourse (?) at the SKVR (Las Palmas building Rotterdam). I was a bit nervous if I'm honest. Will I live up to standards..that sort of thing. But it's a nice group so I think I'm gonna be fine. The teacher shoots like I shoot only with a theme or concept that carries the photo's so I think I'm gonna learn a lot from her. She is really into presentation...and somehow I'm not with my photo's...so that's gonna be a learning point for me. The first assignment is "Man in Motion". Found it a bit dull, but have come up with a nice idea that jumps a bit out of the box...I hope. A little boy pointing at the mark on the doorpost....showing how tall he has become. Another viewpoint on the subject 'Man in motion' I think. Have the boy in mind...hope he has a doorpost with growthmarks on it at home.... :)
