I don't know what's in the air this summer but for sure it's something magic!
I took this picture of the butterfly on my daughters hand yesterday at the beach. She was walking around taking to someone and I asked her who she was taking to. “My friend the butterfly”, she said.

Ze noemt zichzelf “selfportrait-artist” maar volgens mij is Jeanique veel meer dan dat. Sinds oktober 2008 plaatst ze dagelijks een nieuwe foto op haar website www.ilovejeanique.com wat een feest van creativiteit is.

Maar goed, de zomervakantie komt eraan en dus is er een zeer ludieke actie bedacht.
Where Is Jeanique?
Wat is precies de bedoeling? Jeanique neemt 40 zelfportretten uit haar 365 dagen project mee, geplastificeerd, in fotolijstjes, met een kaartje er aan. Deze fotolijstjes gaat ze op diversen plaatsen onderweg naar Frankrijk neerzetten. Elke keer als ze dit doe maakt ze een foto en verstuurd deze naar haar site. Door middel van geotagging kun je straks op een kaartje precies zien waar ze de fotolijstjes heeft neergezet.
Een vinder van een fotolijstje kan twee dingen doen: Het fotolijstje mee naar huis nemen, of het op een andere plek achterlaten. Wat er ook met de foto gedaan gaat worden? De vinder wordt gevraagd een e-mail sturen met een foto van het lijstje op de nieuwe plaats plus exacte lokatie en datum waar en wanneer ze een fotolijstje achtergelaten hebben.
“Zo ben ik toch nog een beetje online de aankomende twee weken :)” aldus de foto kunstenares.

This is a picture of the Guinness Brewery taken from a vantage across the Liffey River. This is in west Dublin looking south. The sun sets really late in Dublin this time of year so I had to wait till after 10:00pm to get the shot. Also Canon's 20D firmware only allows for 30sec exposure time before going over to manual or "bulb" setting. Since I wanted a really long depth of field and larger stars emanating from the lights, I had to count the time in my head and kind of guess about the duration since the light meter doesn't work on "bulb". Anyway I came out with a shot that I am really proud of and I hope you like it. Oh also my girlfriend and I went on a tour of the brewery earlier that day and it was a worthwhile exercise in traditional touristing.

For him there is no looking back. It is too painful.

Yet more rocks near Herring Cove. This one was taken at dusk with a long exposure, and looks across the Halifax Harbour entrance.

See my post on The Purple Idealist for more details. It seemed to fit there, since it's really a travel diary. However, I will continue to post the best photos here...at least my personal favorites.

By the way, thank you for all the comments and suggestions, they were helpful!

This one actually came out decently, so I thought I'd share it here. It's an exact half-scale reproduction of the real one in Paris, France! I wanted to take a picture that would give you the sense of how tall it is...460 feet...which is almost half a mile up! This was taken around 5 pm. When I finally got out of my room. sigh...


I don't know if I like this black and white version. I was having a hard time balancing the tower with the sky and trying to keep the details. Maybe I'll try again.

Anyway, I'm still recovering from my trip and may not be able to post as quickly as hoped, but I shall try.

I haven't forgotten about the "How to add Texture" instructions. They are coming.

Have a stupendous day!
