Looking for a good place on earth to be in November? I would vote for Thailand. However, I haven’t seen that much of the world yet.

It seems I’m not the only one looking forward to this year’s Burning Man. Here is another burner, her very new blog and her story about me taking her picture.

More Burner Portraits:

Today is the 6th anniversary of this photo blog! Wow..time flies! If you are curious about the early days, I wrote a little about it in last year’s post.

I was wondering what I could prepare in the spirit of the celebrations, and came up with the idea of free iPads for all my readers!! Then I changed my mind and decided to give away free iPad wallpapers instead…how about that?

Here they are. Optimized for the 3rd gen iPad we are looking at pictures from

- White Sands, New Mexico
- The Tall Grass Prairie, Oklahoma
- Blankenberge, Belgium
- Iceland – god knows where exactly that was..
- New York City (twice)
- Frankfurt, Germany
- And the last three are from Southern California

Belgium again.

Occasionally I feel the desire to add music to an image. Sometimes I just feel that a particular song goes along well with a picture, but my problem with posting it both together is that I have no clue at all, if you can relate the music to the image or not. If you cannot, then it probably looks just weird to you. I don’t want to look weirder to you than absolutely necessary, but I’m trying it anyways. Here we go.

At the Belgian coast last Sunday.

The other night I had very intense dreams about film making. In those dreams I started to make short movies with my SLR and had a tremendous amount of fun doing that. I believe if I would do that, I would try to mix interesting visuals with interesting character studies. Maybe scenes would look something like this picture here – shot this in Sanctus Spiritus in Cuba.

A street scene I photographed in a small town in Italy.

A picture I took in New York City last year. It's part of a series that I haven't finished yet.

The city of Genoa in Italy. VERY interesting place for photography if you ask me. Dark, complex, exhausting. While approaching it from the highway it looked menacing to us. I was reminded of this scene in Inception where the city folds in on itself. Remember that? You might walk around and think you've seen everything, and then you find yourself on a steep edge, looking down at more magnificent parts of the city on different levels right below your feet. The child in me is fascinated. The adult in me might just describe it as "very steep".
