Day 359 - Fashion design: Weimaraners modeling in fotoshoot Acne

I love Weimaraners so much...  I have one myself. She is 8 years young and we call her 'Flo'.

On youtube I saw the video 'Acne, Behind the scenes' with William Wegman (photographer). In this video we see how Wegman does a fotoshoot for Acne. Instead of using human models, he uses Weimaraners. I love this video, enjoy!

Day 346 - Photography: architecture, The Hague, Netherlands (2)

The Hague is the seat of the government in the Netherlands.

When I was in The Hague last weekend, I visited the ministry of Finance. The ministry is located in a building that has been renewed in 2011 by Dutch architects Meyer en Van Schooten. They won the PSP award for this project.

I love the colored wall and the court yard. Here are two of my photo's.

Day 315 - Photography: my visit to the mine complex in Waterschei Belgium (2)

Yesterday, I told you about Waterschei. A former mine complex and a wonderful location for photo shoots.

I went there with my photo class and took a lot of photo's. One of the photo's I like very much is the one you see below. I took it inside the former office of the mine company.

Day 314 - Photography: my visit to the mine complex in Waterschei Belgium,

Yesterday, I went with my photo class group to Waterschei in Belgium. Waterschei is the name of a small village. In this village you find a former mine complex. Today you can visit the mine museum, visit the former factories, rent space for an exhibition or to make a photo shoot.

The location is so nice and inspiring, and at the same time a bit sad when you think of all those people that had to work in the mines in bad conditions.

The photos below show the large tower: then and now. The entrance of the mine was situated right under this tower.

If you are looking for a photo location and you love industrial buildings: this is the place to be!

Day 308 - New photo challenge: rain

As you know, I am in a photography class. Each week we get a challenge.

The challenge for this week is: rain.Not just rain, but we need to try to find a creative way to make a photo of rain.

As it rained a lot this weekend, I had the opportunity to start this project. The photo below is taken from the inside of the car. The raindrops on the window transform the photo into a watercolor painting. I like it a lot. Unfortunately I did not have my camera, so I had to use my phone. Therefore the quality is not that goo :-(

Day 284 - Graphic design: street art, Eye, Amsterdam

Yesterday, I was in Amsterdam. I started my visit at the Eye Film Museum. One of my favorite places in Amsterdam.

The sky was cloudy, it rained now and then. Nevertheless, I had the opportunity to take a lot of of photo's. When I walked around the building, I saw this piece of  'street art'.

Someone wrote 'ik herhaal ik herhaal ik herhaal...' with chalk on the pavement. 'Ik herhaal' means 'I repeat'. It was repeated at least thirty times....

Here's one of them.
