Dalian (China): it is a colourful world

April 7, 2010 – 11:29 am

In Dalian, China, I was finally able to photograph some non-touristic things. Normal life. One thing I noticed that Dalian was colourful. Just lovely. Enjoy.

Gotham City: amazing …

April 6, 2010 – 2:50 pm

I did not even know it existed: a ******* (7 !!) star hotel. Well, it does: in Shenyang, a ’small’ city with 8 Mio (2x Croatia) in China. When we arrived, we thought shortly that we arrived in Gotham City. Amazing!

The hotel, Wan Xin International, was amazing and indeed the most luxurious I ever slept in and I loved their slogan: „the world shall envy Shenyang“. How modest you can be :-)

 
 
 
 
 

PS: the reception was on the 10th floor…

April 1, 2010 – 3:24 pm

With a full wedding season ahead, we’re looking for an assistant (m/f). Being an assistant means that you work hard and are underpaid; but it gives you the wonderful experience of learning.

Beijing: the Old Summer Palace

March 24, 2010 – 12:02 pm

Happily we could spend some hours at the Old Summer Palace as well: what a colours! Simply wonderful.

 

  

 

 It is always a pleasure to watch people. I really enjoy that. You never get bored. I am not sure what was going on and why, but this old guy was writing certain messages with water on the pavement…

 

 

 

More of Beijing can be found here: The Forbidden City and The Olympic Park. Enjoy.

Beijing (the Forbidden City)

March 22, 2010 – 11:23 am

It is human to do forbidden things, we always want that. So, when in Beijing, we simply had to visit The Forbidden City. Sadly, we only had one hour and we had to rush leaving us too little time to shoot the wonderful details. Enjoy.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Unfortunatedly, we could not chat with our local fellow photographers:

And for a total other side of Beijing, here is the Olympic Parc. What a contrast!

Don Quixote 1, windmills 0

March 19, 2010 – 1:16 pm

Here I told you that some company used my image without permission. Although this seems to happen a lot in Croatia, I thought enough is enough. I contacted the company and within one week we agreed on a reasonable settlement.

 

In other words, all my fellow (Croatian) photographers: copyright infringement can be beaten! Let’s do something about that!

Don Quixote | copyright infringement

March 16, 2010 – 11:04 am

I thought it would be nice as a Dutch, to fight the windmills…

In Croatia there is still a massive abuse of copyrights. Although ZAMP managed to make some order within the music world, in the world of visual arts there is – sadly – less order.

 

As an artist I respect the rights of others: musicians, software, images and so on and I wished that ZAMP would have a division for visual arts as well.

 

One of my grooms is a lawyer for copyright, and he told me that the law is equal for music as for visual arts. The difference is only that you have to take care of it yourself. So, having a lawyer, it was no time to see copyright infringement.

 

It didn’t take long: here is a new wedding site, made by visual artists, with unauthorized usage of at least one image. Mine, that is.

 

And yes, the first step has been made, and yes, I keep you posted.

 

PS: more about Don Quixote on Wikipedia.

Size matters…

February 10, 2010 – 4:27 pm

Honestly, I would never think that I would actually admit it… but size matters!

 

Therefore I am proud to introduce you our new wedding book which can be up to 40×50cm, meaning your wedding photos can be up to 40×100cm. Yes, indeed, 1 meter! That is huge!

Covers

We do not have only eco-leather, but wonderful metallic, glass and wooden covers. Even nicer, you cab engrave your names on the cover in real silver or gold.

 

Prices

Not unimportant … prices start with 500 euro for a 20×30cm book up to more then 3000 euro for the biggest book with gold engravement and 100 pages. For more information, mail me.
