I'm sorry for the long absence.
I hope to be more active here soon, with news about my new cam and hopefully new photos....

I did write a new fox blog:
Fox & the Mouse Game

Past week, I turned on my 7D. At least: that's what I tried.
But in stead of the usual warm greeting with a happily blinking little light and a bright shining display...he just remained quiet... No beep, no bursts, not nothing.
Assuming (and hoping) there was something wrong with the battery, I tested again with a fully charged one, eagerly waiting for a sign of life...
Still nothing.

So I rapidly brought him to the Camera Repair Centre, hoping for a quick fix.

And yesterday I received the bad news: It's NOT repairable due to moisture/ water damage. (probably caused by photographing outside while it was snowing)

Which means....for the first time in years I'll have to to without my ...my ...don't even know how to describe it.
Of course it's 'just' a cam, but to me it meant so much more and I just don't remember how to to without it....

Sorry for this stupid story, but I felt like explaining.... Because at this moment I don't know when or if I will submitting photos here...

I receive many request for using my photos as a reference for drawings,  paintings, tattoos etc.
Usually it's fine with me and I've enjoyed some wonderful creations based on my photography.
I thought it might be a nice idea to feature some of these artworks in my journal or blog.

The rules according to reference use can be found in my signature, but since I get asked so often here they are again:

♥ Yes, You can use my photos as a reference  for drawings/paintings etc.
♥ For commercial use, please send me a note
♥ My photos aren't stock, so photo manipulations of my work are not allowed.
♥ Proper credits (link back to the original) are appreciated
♥ And I'd love to see the result, so please let me know (through a note)when your artwork is finished.












What I like best about these works is the creativity that's put into it, which adds a lot.
This way the painting is often more beautiful than the reference!

I thought it might be a nice idea to feature some of these artworks in my journal or blog. (I will put my photo and your work next to each other, so that people can see inspiration vs new creation)
So if you ever made something based on one of my photos, a link (comment on this journal) would be appreciated and maybe you'll find your work in some of my future blogs / journals

Sometimes I'm really amazed how little attention & appreciation some fantastic shots get....
I would have been so happy if I was the one that made these shots and I just can't understand how unseen they are...
Let's do something about that!

I think I found some new hidden gems that deserve a little more appreciation.
Please be so kind and show them some

I finished my new blog, but -as usual- I feel a little insecure about my English.
So if some native speakers would be so kind to correct my English, that would be highly appreciated.
Thanks in advance!
