A Foggy Day Today
We have a few days of Heavy fog here in Holland. Visibility sometimes drops under 50 meters and that looks pretty moody. In between assignments today I stopped by one of the local graveyards (yes, I am playing too much Skyrim) to see if there was enough fog to capture some nice images. I tried the old graves at the Jewish corner of the cemetary, but I liked the big tree in the middle of the field better (It’s so impressive; I photographed it before).

American Girl
Amazing shop in New York City: at the American Girl store, REAL American Girls can choose their puppet for $100. For that amount you get a naked female doll with your exact looks (or any other style). When finished shopping at ground floor level, you take your naked doll to another floor to buy two sets of clothes: one for the doll and one for real. When the unisex shopping is finished, you end up at the top floor where real hairdressers take your doll and mimic your hair-do. The girl in the picture is carrying her doll from a previous visit. Same dress, same hair. (yes, MALE staff is talking mum into a new product 
)

My friend turned 98
My dearest friend reached the respectable age of 98 years (which is 14 in human years). She’s blind in one eye (a cat did that years ago), deaf as a doorknob and recently had surgery, but in spirit and wet-nose she’s still 100%. Pictured with my Hasselblad while posing on the couch. Congrats, Bombaaj!

A Year With the Leica M9
This website isn’t really a gear-tech website, but since I’ve been using my Leica M9 for over a year now, I think it’s a good time to share my personal experiences with this camera. Reviews of other users helped me make up my mind: now here’s my review… It might tip the balance for people that are thinking about buying one of these rangefinder cameras. Pictured: evening duststorm in Roswell, New Mexico; Leica M9 with Biogon 2.8/25 @ ISO 800

Oz Roadkills
While travelling through Australia I was amazed at the amount of dead animals at the roadside. I started collecting them and I think I have all national species captured now! I have the kangaroo, a walibi, a dingo, an emu and some kind of lizard. The only animal I couldn’t find was the Koala, but Koala’s don’t live in the state of WA (in the wild). And I doubt if a Koala would ever leave its tree anyway.
