I'm like a bird

When I'm looking for new images for my blog that worthwhile my attention the new content is mixing up in my head. And create new stories. The first editorial is from 'how to spend it' from the financial times. The second one is from one of my favourite photographers Nirrimi. The first one is really clear about having the message of telling about ballet (in a different way). The second one is my own vision on ballet. In a more natural way. But I do see a swan too. And I do see a lake. Only this time the bathtube is the lake. I like to make the first story of ballet a little bit more natural. Although I think the way they set up the creative arty styling is really amazing and unique.

I hope you njoy. Wich one is your favourite?

It is the night.
My body's weak.
I'm on the run.
No time for sleep.
I've got to ride.
Ride like the wind.
To be free again.

Puzzle me // Vogue Australia January '14

I admire people who can go to a vintage shop and mix up some new pieces of clothes with their own collection, who has also a lot of vintage pieces in it. When I try doing that, I look kind of weird.

The combinations that are set up in this editorial in Vogue Australia 2014, look really unique. And because I'm definately not a pro stylist in mixing really different styles up I know the stylist must be really talented. Because it's not easy. Although it looks like the outfits are mixed so easily.

Njoy.

There it is, I can see.
The little picture perfect me.
I have tried, using force.
But it always ends up tragically. 
So I stay the way I am.
Just a crooked little outline.
I'm whole, then not, and back again.
Wondering when I'll ever find.
Someone who will take the time.

Krazy Kat // Russh Magazine

Frida is as beautiful herself as the dreamy and bright light in this editorial of Russh Magazine '14.

I was hesitating posting this one, because it is winter in The Netherlands. This has absolutely nothing to do with my view outside my window at home. But maybe that is the reason I need this escape. Brighten up! The Winter blues has left.

I've also made a Hola Bola Babes video I shot in Leeuwarden, a city in The Netherlands. And I thought it fits perfectly in. The lyrics are from 'The Annotated' and look like they are written for this shoot. Or the other way around.

Njoy.

Look for a while at the China Cat Sunflower
proud-walking jingle in the midnight sun
Copper-dome Bodhi drip a silver kimono
like a crazy-quilt stargown through a dream night wind

Krazy Kat peeking through a lace bandana

like a one-eyed Cheshire

like a diamond-eye Jack

A leaf of all colors plays

a golden string fiddle

to a double-e waterfall over my back

Comic book colors on a violin river

crying Leonardo words 

from out a silk trombone

I rang a silent bell

beneath a shower of pearls

in the eagle wing palace

of the Queen Chinee

Lyrics: The Annotaded-China Cat Sunflower

Art meets mind

'Find the ways in which you keep pressing the “Pause” button on life because you want it to stop, for just a second, so you can wait, stop, reflect, get things “right.”  Then get your mental finger off that button, and let life wash over you.  It should make your toes tingle.'
