Shoot with Sofie at “La Vallee”

I discovered a lovely little valley in the Belgian Ardennes while geocaching with a friend a couple years back. I immediately knew this would be the perfect location for a bikini shoot. It took me some time, but I finally got around and did a shoot there today with Sofie.

The location was just perfect. Sofie was impressed… and so was I! It was even better then I expected it to be. We had a great day. And I’m sure that I be going to that place again next year.

Here’s some more shots from today. Thank you Sofie for posing, and thank you Tomasz for being my assistant.

Meeting at the PhotokitcheN

Ludwig and Joy had another of their famous meetings at the PhotokitcheN yesterday. A perfect organization, as always. Joy treated us with tasty Thai snacks and drinks. Ludwig made shooting at the PhotokitcheN the funnest thing ever. Thanks! It was fun to be there again, meet new people and work on things I’ve always wanted to work on.

Eef and I had made plans to do a little fetish glamour shoot a while back. This meeting at the PhotokitcheN seemed like the right moment to do the shoot. Eef and I shot the “Alien Attack” in Ludwig’s elevator. Then one thing let to another, and before I knew I was doin’ a 2nd fetish glamour/fashion shoot.

I bought a little softbox just recently. And the meeting was a good opportunity to test it. Just a quick little test: a 20 minute shoot with Sarah, Ludwig’s fantastic floor of light and my new softbox. Sarah and I were both pleased with the results. We’ll be planning another shoot sometime soon. We both loved this picture…

A big thank you to Sarah, Eef and Hilde for posing. Check out their album!

Second Life Birth

Yasmine Otsuka

I was born again today… on Second Life! And I’m a girl. Yasmine Otsuka is my name. Daughter of a Japanese mother—yes I was named after my mother—and a US Navy pilot, I ended up in Belgium. As in my 1st life, I love music, photography, and arts & sciences. Little bit of a geek girl on the look for exciting challenges and interesting people.

Could John and Paul Be Right?

Try to see it my way,
Do I have to keep on talking till I can’t go on?
While you see it your way,
Run the risk of knowing that our love may soon be gone.
We can work it out,
We can work it out.
Think of what you’re saying.
You can get it wrong and still you think that it’s alright.
Think of what I’m saying,
We can work it out and get it straight, or say good night.
We can work it out,
We can work it out.
Life is very short, and there’s no time
For fussing and fighting, my friend.
I have always thought that it’s a crime,
So I will ask you once again.
Try to see it my way,
Only time will tell if I am right or I am wrong.
While you see it your way
There’s a chance that we may fall apart before too long.
We can work it out,
We can work it out.
Life is very short, and there’s no time
For fussing and fighting, my friend.
I have always thought that it’s a crime,
So I will ask you once again.
Try to see it my way,
Only time will tell if I am right or I am wrong.
While you see it your way
There’s a chance that we may fall apart before too long.
We can work it out,
We can work it out.

My photo buddy Bart Henseler invited me to a shoot with Evara and Namorita. Bart arranged access to an abandoned mining site in the South of Belgium. Still working on the photos. But here’s a taste of what’s to come.

Lots of Exiting Springsteen News

Springsteen - Live in DublinI just bought Springsteen’s most recent album Live in Dublin a few days back. The album has been released a couple of weeks ago. I didn’t get around to buying it sooner ‘cause of my personal feelings related to the past tour. And I was waiting for the version with DVD. Listing to the album has brought back my love for music. I’m listing to music more than ever. I just finished digitizing all of Springsteen’s album and transferred them to my iPod: 350 songs worth more than 24 hours of music.

Patti Scialfa - Play it as it LaysBut the Springsteens don’t sit around and wait. Last week, Springsteen’s wife, Patti Scialfa announced the release of her 3rd album Play it as it Lays. The release date for her album is set for September 4th. And Bruce himself is ready to release a new album too. His new album (with E-Street Band!) is rumored to be released early October. According to my friends at Be True, the album will be released on October 1st. And I’m sure that a new tour will follow soon. I’m absolutely ready for a new tour by the best live act ever.
