Older polaroids

I came across www.polanoid.net where a few of my older polaroids are posted. Bored? Cliquez ici.

One that's gonna get away

Boredom + Weekend + Internet = Ebay

And I whish I'd never done it, because ever since I've found it I've been looking it up every few hours. If you would want to know what I love... THIS is what I absolutely love:


Favilla Teardrop 1920's

With only 1 day and 12 hours remaining, I keep looking at my sad, sobbing bankaccount.

The housemates

For my minor photography I made 3 potraits of my housemates. Shot with a Kiev88 on 120film. That ought to be all I'd have to say about the architect, the jeweler and the artist.




Printed on 40x40cm Fuji Pearl

Thanks for posing Lori, Milan and Crispijn. And thanks for the camera Crispijn!

Le grandeur d'ukulele

Finally! FINALLY! I'm done! Ahhh! All the pain and suffering, bruises, cuts, burns, severed limbs, hairloss, chemicals inhaled are over. For now that is.

It's all worth it. Starting out probably around february or march 2009 I came into contact with my next door neighbours. Well Marko & Shelley subtly pushed me towards the Ukeboxal ways and voila, I can present you 3 ukes (of which 2 in tune and one having a tendency towards sitar/zen/singing bowl)



Contestant number one originates partialy from Italia being an olive oil tin can, the neck and head are made from hardwood and notably made from scratch. Originally I'd put wooden sticks in for tuners but that wouldn't fly all that well so I wrecked the old tuners for a banjitar. It's quirky feature is that because the neck is on a bendable surface I had to strap it down, thus coming to the idea of putting a spanny-thingy (don't have the slightest idea how to call it) so you can adjust the height of the strings towards/away from the neck. It also makes and excellent tremolo.
Contestant number two is made from old computercasing, a steel pipe and some crap metal. It fitted with steel strings, can be used for weightlifting, makes a great slide ukulele, but actual playing it is messed up.
Contestant number three is affectionately dubbed Kraftwagenverbandkastenukulele. Made out of a first aid kit and a salvaged ukuleleneck. The bridge is an old syringe tube. The soundhole was made sweet love to by a Bosch electric drill and a random wooddrill.



If you yourself are that sweet to have read this heapload of text, I will love and cherish you forever.
