Frozen Moments

"The camera makes everyone a tourist in other people's reality, and eventually in one's own." ~Susan Sontag, in New York Review of Books

Flowers

Strolling through the gardens, one sometimes happens upon some of nature's finest creations.

Station Utrecht

Practicing with long exposure photography at Utrecht Centraal.
 

Wargames

Take a bored photographer, a bag of sand and 80 cents to spend, and a youth of not playing with toy soldiers. The result: Well... this.

Zoo

Images: 6

Light was poor, and most animals were behind glass (making photography hard, as most pictures ended up with a ghost-me in it).. only the few I did manage to get a decent shot of ended up here.

Notes to self: 1. Get a decent zoom-lens. 2. Get a tripod.
 

Food

Images: 1

In the never ending quest for finding things to photograph, I've decided to take pictures whenever having cooked up something I'm the slightest bit proud of.. we'll start off with the Gado-gado from a few days ago.

You may notice that most of the things I cook are vegetarian.. it's the Right Thing.
 

Spoorwegmuseum

Images: 16

My sisters and I visited the Spoorwegmuseum (railway museum) in Utrecht last weekend - one lesson I learned there regarding photography: Indoor photography is difficult! Most shots ended up under- or overexposed, much to the chagrin of my sister.. here's what I managed to salvage.

Trips through Utrecht City in Fall
 

Animals

Images: 10

This started out as shots of doggies.. but then a horse joined the club.. and some goats. And a sheep. And before I knew it, there was almost an entire petting zoo in the album.
 

Stumbles

Images: 25

An album to put all the nice things in that I stumbled across when not looking for anything in particular to capture on film.. err.. compactflash.

Night shots

Images: 8

This album contains some pictures I took while experimenting with my camera the night after I first got it. Looking back on it now, a few weeks later, they're not really something I'm proud of.. just keeping them until I need space.
 

Day One

Images: 56

The rush of the first time going out taking pictures of things.. Overexposing? Motion blur? Hah.. I laughed at these things... looking back, I should have listened to my mom and become a lumberjack.
