colour and space


for this assignment we met our teacher near the area of enschede, where the fireworks-explosion took place. many has changed since that, and a whole lot of new buildings with very up-to-date architecture has been built there. that is why very opposite styles of buildngs and people meet there, on the one hand the older and classically dutch houses, that have came through the accident unharmed and very new houses and constitutions. we should now take a series of 36 black&white photos there, illustrating colour (aswell "diversity") and space (meaning range). i tried to make that,completely documenting the progression of one street, from near the center along the area of the explosion till far out. i made a nice flash file for better presentation on the internet. see yourself what it became.
UPDATE: it seems like this swf doesn't work on the latest version of firefox. i have no idea why. if you can't see it but want to (it really does pay out) you should try another browser.

rozentheater



this assignment was fun. in amsterdam there is nice, little theater, probably more than just one, but one of them is called the "rozentheater". it is placed in a nice, little theater building, which the dutch state did not consider to be that nice, because they thought it was "dilapidated". so it had to be renovated and a large poster should be placed on it's front for the time this should take. we should now imagine we should take that photo, which also should explain the situatiuon a bit. that's what i did.

portrait


i took this photo for an assignment in which we should make a portrait of the one fellow student who was sitting right from us in the lesson that day. i sat next to anna. the portrait should not explicit show the person physically, moreover who it is. a sporty girl who likes shoes as you hopefully see.

this was a photo i originally took for myself, just for fun so to say. moreover it's part of a serie, but it's not yet finished. anyways, our teachers pleased us to make a selection of photos we considered to be best of our work to create make a presentation for the "open dag" of our academy from the selections of all students. i just put it in my selection, thinking my other photos would be better most probable. but this one chosen to be the only one printed from my selection, and that in the largest size printable at our academy (about 1,20m wide). looks great that size if you ask me.

DAna nanaA Batman!


yes, we really had a "genuine" bat in our house. flew in the bathroom somehow and i cought it and started a photo-session with it. nuts.
