I'm young, curious and totally unable to fit into a cupboard box of social conventions. I want to live this life to the fullest and capture everything I love, just to share it with you. So, if you found your way to this open book of memories, why don't you wander around a bit?

001/365 After one day pause I’m starting my second 365 days project. And which place could be better for this than our wonderful garden? I miss having a garden and a balcony. A place to rest and get some sun. My next apartment definetly needs a balcony!!!!!!! … more original photography …

328/365 Be like a plant - beautiful and strongly rooted to your ground.Be like a flame- steady and powerful. Be yourself - unique and the best version of yourself you can possibly be, everyday.

321/365 Spring is knocking on our door. Shy, soft, not yet here to stay. Sometimes you feel that soft wind on your face, a warm little hint that sunnier days are about to come, and althought you still have your winterjacket and thick scarf on, you ask yourself if it can be true. If finally the first hints of sunnier days are here. You close your eyes and let the first warm sunrays touch your skin. And then you find them - the first green leaves.

319/365 I’ve bought strawberries this week and after one day in my fridge they already went bad. So today I bought a new package and ate them without even waiting one hour. Fruits are just the best sweets on earth - I seriously can’t put into works how good they tasted. And this is not a “stay thin and never eat sweets photo”. Fact is that most of the stuff we eat doesn’t have many vitamins or other important substances our body needs. When we take more care of what we eat, everything about our body becomes better. Instead of spending so much money on cosmetiques, eating better can solve so much. In the end, the great skin, the big lashes and the wonderful hair is not a result of cosmetiques, but of photoshop.

309/365 If there’s something I learned from moving out it’s that you won’t be able to master everything at once. But you can go step by step. It took us over a year to find the right place for everything and buy the first plant. It took us over half a year to hang up our photos. Which is a shame given the fact that we’re photographers! But still, with everyday we change a little bit and everytime we start a project, like today’s putting some green stuff in this apartment task, this place gets more and more ours. And everytime I open my door I feel sheltered and happy. Nothing happens over night, but awesome things happen if you don’t stop trying.

299/365 We gaze up into the green, the blue, the endless variety of natures colours. And the only thought coming into our mind is to capture this. To capture all the beauty we see, so we can look at it and suddenly be back in this moment. Right here, gazing into the green and blue.

298/365 A childhood tale - My grandmother’s house This apartment is full of those memories. Those childhood memories full of innocence and joy. All cousins and aunts in this apartment, sleeping on beds and couches, driving in my grandfather’s car with too many people, laughing and playing Uno. It had changed. This apartment had been painted over and modernized, still those little tracks remained. Some frames, some decorations, the furniture. Walking in those rooms, those memories seem so vivid. They seem so present and real. Even if the realitiy today is different, those days can never be taken back. It was a time were the image didn’t matter that much, when the laughters were real. Characters are like apartments and houses. You can modernize them, you can change the furniture and the decoration, you can paint it all over. But like us, the walls remain the same. The spirit, the essence, the footprint remains the same. The core of a person should never change. It should evolve with time, yet never totally move. Because whatever footprint we have, it’s ours and all other footprints are already taken.

293/365 Sometimes you have to make a leap of faith. This trip for example is like that and since I jumped of that platform to fly over the city there is something wonderful going on.  It’s like finally a majour healing started. I know I have scars, but I’m not willing to defend myself continiously for who I am or what I done. There is nothing to proof and whoever wants to talk bad about my present or past will find a way. But I’m happy. God damn it I’m happy and this is my life. I’m the one jumping and breaking the face if this doesn’t work. After that jump I felt extremly brave and bold. I decided that this is the feeling I’m taking home and preserve.

287/365 As evident this photo is not from yesterday. I accidently deleted my entire card including all yesterday photos. Dumb me. But, in order to keep this project going and because my yesterday shot would have been about analoge photography, here goes an old analoge work. This is a double exposure with a canon ae-1. I just love this camera and the ability to make artwork like this.. not even mentioning the huge surprise when I finally get to see if my idea worked out. No screen, no preview. Just your intuition, a really simple but powerful camera and a film to capture everything that’s in your mind.

219/365 A few days ago, out of the nothing, I found this flower in my moleskin notebook. I can’t remember the I put it on there… but it looks wonderful and reminds me of sunny days. The days I went to the park almost seven times a week to read a book or do yoga… the times I would wake up with sun shining into my room.. the days I would wear a mini skirt and kind of feel flattered when someone turned their head to look at it again… the few days of summer.  I miss summer, but there is a great reason to enjoy winter aswell. I think we should never live only to reach the tomorrow. Of course, there are things we look forward to. But live today, make the best of today and don’t only wake up hoping to get back to bed soon. I take this little flower as a lovely memory of days that will come again. But until that happens I’ll make the best of what’s here right now.

211/365 Going outside is so great! In winter I spent most days inside, especially when the todo list starts exploding. But today, before everything was done, I took a break and went for a walk with a friend. We talked, laughed and walked through the park. The sun was shining and a really cold wind was blowing.  I know winter is not the best season for long walks, but whenever I see the sun I want to make an extra effort to step outside my door. It opens the mind, eases the anxiety inside and makes the soul dream of spring. We’re used to tiny apartment and closed spaces that we forget how big and open this world is. We’re free and alive. In nature those are the most important things. Money doesn’t matter, status symbols don’t mean anything and happiness is found inside. Getting back to that seems like the healthiest thing to do.

198/365 After the first long day of the photopraktika workshop, this was indeed my happiest moment. So many hours of great input and amazing photographers.. but it all settled down during this cup of tea.  The whole atmosphere and the passion for photography settled down and the only sentence remaining in my head was “I want more”.

175/365 Working all day makes it really hard to stay active and do my 365 project. But it’s those days that make me more creative because I really have to search for that gap or chance to try something out. Today after work we were already dated for dinner and even after that I already had an appointment.  So the idea was simple, go on a parking lot, try some yoga asanas (still in my office dress) and use the car as lightning source. That’s the great point. Trying something out, doing something new, finding ways to stick to your goals. It’s possible and the reward will always be an enrichment of your knowledge and skills.
