Loving it

Finally getting to try my waterproof camera I bought a month ago, and first test looks great

I took it for a swim early this morning, I got up just before sunrise and went for a swim at Avalon, wasn'tmuch swell, so a swim instead of a surf, so I swam out the back and took these two snaps. Can't wait to take it ( the camera ) surfing with me, but I will need to work out how to keep it on me, as holding onto it all the time, and the little rope for around the wrist won't be secure enough. But finally, I'll be able to take some shots when I'm out in the water, the amount of times when I was sititng in the surf, waiting for the next set to roll in from the horizon, and something would catch my attention were I wished I would have had a camera on me, well, now finally I will be able to snap whatever it is

More of this pretty blossom

It's from a sort of prune tree, but they are yellow fruit

Close up

Just because

I like this pic, so I thought I'd put it here on the blog, in the middle of all the Paris fashion week

Antoine Debouverie

A friend of mine, Antoine, sent me these shots a while back. I met Antoine last summer when we working together on a music festival project, I was shooting stills and he was shooting video. Looks like Antoine has been busy with this latest project. They made a similar one on the desert for the Burning Man festival ( still haven't been there ) where , at the end of the festival , they burnt it down, don't think they will do so here at Miami as well. He tells me they are at Chicago now, doing a similar project . As soon as he sends me shots from there I will post them

Anita "Twistie" Lixel

Jenny and Anita , backstage in the "green " room before we go to Anita's dressing room ( love the tiles on the wall )

Anita does her own hair and make up tonight, some sort of a problem with getting a make up artist tonight, so here she is doing her own touch ups

street art

On my way to meet Emmanuel again, drop of some portrait shots I've been doing for the next issue of Pulp, and spot this on the footpath, I like it

New Installation outside gallery

I was wondering why everone just stands there , and stares at a pool of water with a bronze leaf sculpture, but then I realise why, it continuosly empites and fills up again.So I call it, high tide/low tide

Jackson Pollock

Want to be able to paint like him, no problem click here, then move your mouse, and click again and again to change colour.....hmmmm,hours of fun, all I need now is one of those fandango super duuper printers

Masters of Air @ PULP

Three decades of Nike Air.
At Nike, they decided to do something about that, and they think of their shoe more than just a shoe.
3 decades... time to put it into a historical context they thought.
Abstract ideas and principles were visually represented by the Dutch&Flemish master in paintings, so Nike air decided to do the same, and photographed their shoes in still life settings, very much like those paintings. And it is to be viewed at thePULP department store for free till the end of November

Emmanuel, takes a seat after finishing putting up the display

Looks good in the shop, now we go for a coffee to talk about the next issue

KID ROBOT

I was invited to an opening of Kid Robot's new exhibition, luckily was on the VIP list, as there was a big line outside to get in, and it is relativley warm in New York at the moment, so needed a drink

Now , what does this one remind you off. To me , it reminds of the rabbit from that great movie Donnie Darko

I'd say for Kid Robot, it was a success. I met up with Catherine Ongenaege , journalist from Belgium, she had to meet a friend in an hour , so we went to have a drink at her hotel, love the hotel she's staying at, the Tribeca Grand. Been here for drinks before,and would love to stay at this hotel

this is the view from the bar downstairs, it's like an atrium
