Les Blogs ’05

The first pannel of Les Blogs is about to start. I have all the camera’s set up. One for filming the presentation and the other for close ups of the speakers. Thanks Luc for helping me!

Every mistake is an opertunity to create

Looking at the performance of an artist at a party. Not a lot of people are paying attention to him making this painting. He is definitely concentrating on this work and seriously trying to create an autonomous work. He is giving it thought, makes mistakes, acting upon it, looking for balance and is definitely not

Thank you for your enlightened dress-code

Worn light-brown boots of suede, black jeans and and all flower dress with short sleeves showing you are red by nature. Being lightweight and over enthusiastically talking to gray middle-aged men. Not over the age of 25, English in Paris. Feeling comfortably the odd one out.

Verleidelijk, verleidelijk

Fotograferen als gegeven is al verslavend, maar als je beroepsmatig mensen moet fotograferen en een serie van 10 foto’s van iemand hebt (laat staan een film). Wordt het wel heel intiem en voel ik mij alsof ik in hun kan kruipen. De deur staat op een kier. En ik wil niets liever dan me ertussendoor

Welkom in de wereld van de benevelden

Gister was er iets te vieren. Pieter had zijn eerste ontwerp klaar voor de winkel van het Van Gogh museum. En bier was blijkbaar het geschikte vocht daarvoor. Nu vind ik bier niet te drinken en heb het jaren weten te vermijden. In mijn puberjaren waren er momenten dat ik er niet onderuit kon (al

Blast from the past

Just had a phonecall from someone I studied with, back in the nineties (till 1997). It’s weird to hear from people that you haven’t thought about for years. When the contact faded I tried to revive it but no luck. Now after years I hear her voice again. And we are talking about the years

Recordings

Recordings is a new program from the VPRO Dutch public television. Every episode there are about 6 folk-songs to listen to preformed by people from all kinds of ethnic backgrounds living in Holland.

By singing their personal song (often with tears in their hart) I’m invited to connect though music, the universal language. This program tells the stories I tend to forget, but refers even more to the things we share. Society needs this, more then ever.

Clouds

My thoughts are like clouds. Some are small and drift away. Others are big and grow out to give rain to the tree of life. And hopefully we will harvest the fruits someday.

I love to facilitate!

More and more I am becoming aware of the fact that facilitate is all I want to do. All the time.Creating structures, systems that are mostly automated but make live easier, more practical, fun, interesting, you name it and I want to do it! It all started with a discussion we had at a party

It’s all about commitment

And the focus there-in. I am committed to my children, my family, my work, my friends, my neighbours, the people I work with, my city, the society I’m living in. And in my work these items come up every time. Lot’s of commitment and less able to focus. My brother just graduated on management. Made

Storytime

It’s about ten in the evening. pissed off because I had to take something somewhere. A useless activity (live is full of it). When you have that flow of adrenaline you can drive fast (by bike). So I thought I could shorten the time lost, “back in half an hour or so”. Until someone waves
