My Holga.. it almost sounds like my Russian friend, but is my plastic camera. Not just an ordinary plastic camera.. this camera fights with digital pixels and images shared on small screens on cameras or phones.
I used a fujifilm 400 asa and I made a thrown paper frame to paste it in the camera before I put my film in. It gave a nice border. I looked forward to see the developed pictures.. but when I saw them I realized: Sarah never forget to check if the Bulb setting is switched off!!!!
Oooo we love analog, the real trial and error photography!
A new Piet Boon pilote store opened his doors last weekend in Oudenaarde. The owners had the idea to take a portrait of every guest, so they can make a kind of mosaic on a wall.
300 guests and a guest singer, beautiful interior and nice food of master cook Tim Teck.
Oudenaarde was the place to be

The sun a great city good music a good organiser ... an excellent Sunday & Happy people on the Sunday Matinee
Yashica - iso 200 (wrong choise maybe, but it was cheap in Aldi) flash (and it flashed for sure) My first night trip with the Yashica trial and error some people were hard to focus on... maybe not my fault;)
My first time Asia... and definitely not my last time. D & me spent 2,5 weeks in the amazing scenery of Malaysia.
Our itinerary:
Kuala Lumpur: city tripping and a visit to the KL Tower
night train to Langkawi (an island near the border of Thailand)
3 nights at the amazing island of Langkawi, we went snorkelling, rent a scooter, went swimming in waterfalls, ...
a day on the island Penang: visited a night market and some temples
night bus to the North East side of the island where we took the boat to the Perhentians islands
Perhentian Islands = paradise!!!
Tama Negara: canopy walk and jungle tracks
I took my Yashica with me and my digital slr (Nikon d50) but I noticed that the lens of my Nikon had a little break down... after 3 years I have to say RIP kit lens 18-55mm, so I had to edit my digital pictures in photoshop to have some nice color and some sharpness...
Here's a little selection and you can find them on my flickr account as well pictures Malaysia
I love the Ninja Tune family, but especially Mr Scruff! My list with seen Ninja Tune artists:
° Kid Koala ° Amon Tobin ° Bonobo ° Jaga Jazzist ° One Self ° The Cinematic Orchestra ° The Herbaliser
And yesterday I could extend my list with the eclectic dj and artist. The day after the the good Mulatu concert I am back at the Minnemeers. Sold out .. again.
dj at expo room
After a little visit to the expo room on the first floor it was time for Mr Scruff to put all his Soul, Funk, Hip Hop, Jazz, Reggae, Latin, African, Ska, Disco, House and Funk records in the blender and serves us some delicious menu for the ears.
I connected my ears with my leggs and danced all night. Maybe I was a little bit dissapointed in the crowd, that only went wild with the famous tracks.
As Mr Scruff's video's are always a nice piece of artwork I expected a little bit more visuals. But anyhow, I enjoyed this performance as well.
Good job of the Democrazy crew, again! The last year they are bringing a refreshing line-up in Gent! Thanks for that!
Mulatu I-can-barely-pronounce-it Astatke is besides Fela Kuti the biggest African jazz pioneer. His music is a fusion of Ethiopian jazz combined with tropical funk. His Ethio-jazz business has been going for already 45 years, but 4 years ago he got really known through his soundtrack in Jim Jarmusch’s ‘Broken Flowers’.
His funky company aka the Heliocentrics gives a perfect final touch to Mulatu's performance. They bring modern beats, some retro funk and jazzy sounds.
Together with an enthusiastic audience I enjoyed this concert! Click here to see all pictures of the concert.
