Tokio
23 October 2011
Suddenly I have the possibility to go to the designers week in Tokio to help out "Is it a bird? Is it a plane?", two girls with unbelievable creative minds. They came up with the concept mouthmolding.com , sculpting candy with your mouth. So this Wednesday I will fly out to Japan to help out and of course to do some street photography on the side.
new projects
02 October 2011
As always, work continues. Assignments for magazines and other commissioned work.
But what I like to do most is make up new ideas. Autonomous ideas, people might consider as free work. At this moments I'm working out several large and a few small projects. This, naturally, takes time. Time to find the people that can help, to do sufficient research, to find the funds to make it possible and most important; time to let the ideas grow into a full project.
Of course I will update here as soon as one of these ideas will find it's way from the drawing board to full production.

At the start of the Dutch festival season, Dutch rock artist Anouk decided to have a contest. This way she wanted to select 7 photographers who would each shoot one of the 7 festivals she would play at. Out of 500+ contestants I was selected to shoot next weeks festival "Retropop" in Emmen.
