This week again a word in Dutch that can be interpreted in different ways. The original word is ‘boodschap’. In dutch you say you are doing a ‘boodschap’ when taking a shit. Or it’s a message or purchase. This time I linked ‘taking a shit’ with a ‘message’. Since I don’t think you’re waiting to see a pic of a filled toilet I came up with this one. The message ‘Denk niet bij het laatste vel, “wie na mij komt, die redt het wel”‘ means something like, ‘ don’t think, the one after me will manage, when noticing you just got the last sheet of toilet paper’ . You often will find this message in Dutch toilets written on a tile, but we just wrote it on a piece of paper. (toilet message)

Huh, my street? I’m looking at some cards you probably think. This one needs a bit more explaining then, I guess. The original assignment was in Dutch. ‘mijn straat’ which is translated, ‘my street’. But in Dutch, the ‘straight’ in poker(and in some other card games) is called ‘een straat’. This is not a correct translation but somehow we use it which gave me the idea to make a pic of a straight.

This week I somehow had to capture ‘change’. Not that easy but good challenge. I decided to capture the change of ice to water.

I found some time to make a pic again for the weekly assignment at got. Theme was ‘Curious’ and thought this would give a funny effect.

I said I was gonna try to put up a photo a bit more regularly, well last days I’m spending in Switzerland so I’m not that much behind the computer, but it doesn’t mean I take no pictures! Last weekend I was in Zürich where I walked around a bit. Unfortunately the weather was not that great, but think I made some cool pics. For example this .. traaaaaaaam

Last weekend I visited my parents and went for a bike ride to shoot some pictures. The sky was perfectly blue with nice thick white clouds. Unfortunately I don’t have a polarization filter for my sigma 10-20mm yet so had to play a bit with photoshop to get it nice. When I was in the ‘Doort’ (nature area between Echt and Dieteren) I made this picture:

Since this website is meant to be a photoblog, I’m gonna try to make a picture a bit more regularly. Last night I was trying something with long shutter times and think this is a pretty funny shot that came out. It’s from my window on the back side of the house. You can even see a bit of moon.

Today I got my new 10-20mm sigma lens and was trying it out. Then something funny came up. My housemate complained about mice again. They chewed through a package of porridge he had in his storage room. This is the result:

We had to make a picture that would express something ‘from the past’. I thought of the dutch guilders. (before the euro) and thought of buying a beer with guilders.. as you did in the early days

This weeks theme was Mass. This word (in dutch Massa) can be interpreted in different ways. I went for the weights where i happen to train with once in a while.
