I found this former pay-phone while walking through The Hague. I don’t know if it’s supposed to be a work of art, or just a plain prank and a play on the word ‘cell’ (in Dutch, both a pay-phone and a shower end with ‘cel’). Anyway, as it’s being posted here and there, I figured I’d [...]
At the moment, the Scheveningen Fireworks Festival is held. This festival organizes a yearly competition between teams of various countries, who makes the biggest and most beautiful fireworks.
So far, the Thursday entries have been cancelled and the Friday entries did suffer from strong winds. My hopes now are set on today, Saturday.
I’ve posted the best [...]
I’ve posted before on Scheveningen, but this beach resort never ceases to amaze me. One of the most popular sites on the Dutch Coast. On one of the hottest days so far this year, I’ve spent an afternoon taking photographs there. The best so far have been added to the gallery ‘The Hague’.

It had to come to this. Kodak stops the production of Kodachrome film. Not too surprising, knowing there’s only one processing plant in the world left.
The rolls were hidiously expensive for my father to ‘just hand them over’ to his kid, so I never was able to use one for real. I had to do it [...]
The Lomo LC-A, free image from wikipedia
It’s nice to see, that in these current days with all kinds of techno whiz-bang cameras, a simple semi-automatic analog camera like the Lomo still runs strong.
Wired has an interesting story on it’s history and it’s [...]
This photo’s rather interesting in my opinion. I’ve tried to fiddle around a bit with perspective and the result’s rather pleasing.
I’ve tried to make a blend between the round tower and the square sides of the lower building. The clear blue sky makes for a nice background, so the building as a whole kind of [...]
Fixing a manual lens to a digital scanner apparently makes for interesting projects and nice results. The posted image is …rather big

I’ve been dabbling a bit with HDR Photography. I’ve posted the first few on this gallery, I’ll add more when they’re [...]
