Desert Plant


White Sands, New Mexico

These plants are interesting. As the dune moves and the surface gets higher, the plants grow quickly in order to stay on the surface and survive. However, as the dune moves on and the sand gets lower the plant gets too tall and unstable. It eventually collapses and dies. How sad is that?

Flattr Update & iFolio

I just created a portfolio on a free iPhone/iPod app named iFolio. It really doesn't do much more than showcasing images, but that very nicely. You can find it right here. Once you have the app you get to see lots of beautiful imagery. I'm sure that my stuff will get lost there, but for now you can find it if you tab on 'new'.

Flattr: After participating on Flattr for one month I counted about 90 clicks on my two Flattr buttons (one is in the New York HDR series). You might be wondering how much they accumulated. I'm looking at a revenue of 33 Euros ($42).

Morning Landscape


I stopped the car on the side of the road and once reaching the spot in the grass from where I wanted to take the picture, I started a struggle with strong winds and light rain. While the winds kept shaking the tripod, the rain kept reaching the glass of the lens. The whole thing took quite a while and was pretty annoying. When I saw a police car approaching, I got even more annoyed. From my experience with police and security guards in the US I got ready to explain myself and the things I am doing, stop photographing, move my car, or whatever. To my surprise, the officers just drove by slowly and waved friendly. A little remainder that I wasn't in the US, but in a place where crime, terrorism and the resulting paranoia does not exist.
