Poland part III
Tuesday, March 31st, 2009
I’ve visited Aleksandra this weekend again, and we had a good time together even though we broke up two weeks ago. We started off with a dinner at a Krakowian Sushi bar, which is a great way to start any weekend. Aleksandra arranged a ‘private’ room for us in the restaurant, closed off by thin [...]
Logical Puzzle No. 1
Monday, March 23rd, 2009
I’ve added a book of logical puzzles to my assets today, and I thought it’d be fun to share some with you. Here goes for the first puzzle! Clues and solution will be posted later this week.
An Ogre kept three children prison in his hole in the deepest part of the forest. He expected it [...]
Watchmen and running
Saturday, March 21st, 2009
Yesterday evening I went to see the movie Watchmen with Carlijn. I liked the movie a lot; I liked its theme, its darkness, and its sacrificial plot. Carlijn didn’t like it that much; the difference between Dr. Manhattan and the rest bothered her. Afterwards we had some drinks at Leopold, outside on the terrace for [...]

City-Pier-City

My 5km medallion!
Since the end of December I’ve been training for the City-Pier-City run, and yesterday the event finally took place! A friend had arranged for us to make use of changing-rooms and showers in one of the ministries, which was a real lucky break as it was raining [...]

Domestic Urban Exploration
Tuesday, March 10th, 2009
Urban Exploration is a popular activity amongst photographers, where the custom is to break into abandoned buildings and take pictures of whatever you find inside. I’ve done this on a number of occasions, but last Monday I wanted to surprise Aleksandra with an opportunity to take pictures in an abandoned building for as long as [...]
Time-lapse & The Making Of
Friday, March 6th, 2009
I have made another animation today, of clouds over Leiden. Over the Sweelincklaan, to be exact.
For this time-lapse animation, I hooked up my camera to my computer. The Canon EOS utility has a timer tool that allows you to take interval exposures. I set the timer tool to take pictures with a 12 second [...]
Clouds over Leiden
Thursday, March 5th, 2009
I took 7-second interval pictures of the street I live on, for just under 30 minutes. This is the first 23 minutes of it, before the light posts went on. The animation should have a 33 frames per second rate to make it look smooth, but if your machine is slower it might look a [...]
