Envelopes by Andrew Bush

Joey — Mon, 23 Aug 2010 09:31:45 +0000

Wow. Photographer Andrew Bush runs a public collection with his work ‘envelopes‘ in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York. The envelopes look real but they’re certainly not. Just like trompe l’oeil, he manages to pursue our minds thinking the evelopes are real. Each envelope seems to enclose a confidential but undisclosed message. Bush’s understanding that envelopes, like painted portraits of one’s ancestors, will gradually disappear with their untold secrets. Great work!

This record sounds like…

No clue! But the artwork for his vinyl record, made by Jim Houser himself is freaking awesome.

Walking the streets of Paris

I recently scanned some film containing pictures from our trip to Paris. Here are some of the results. We also shot some 8mm footage yet these still have to find their way to Japan for some processing. Maybe soon.

Never ever go outside without. These are my daily essentials for business and for pleasure. Bose On-Ear headphones, a HD camera, iPhone, Leica camera, USB stick, rolls of film, Ray-Ban sunglasses, Moleskine notebook, creditcard holder and some keys. All packed in my Incase Skate Messenger Bag.

Pure cult

My latest bookmark and source for some daily inspiration, Everything You Love To Hate has it. Strong images of interesting topics. Photography at its best, pure cult!

Brandend Pakhuis Festival

Some good news and some bad. When we wanted to get our hands on some Voltt Festival tickets we found out they were sold out. Big bummer! The good news is we bought tickets for Welcome To The Future festival instead and Mike told us about the upcoming Brandend Pakhuis Festival by Triphouse Rotterdam next week. Hit me with some delicate minimal!

Le Tour de France, Grand Depart

Joey — Sun, 04 Jul 2010 21:44:59 +0000

I must admit, there have been less exciting weekends. We’ve seen Holland reaching the semi-final by kicking Brasil out of the World Cup on Friday. ‘Le Tour de France’ departed in my hometown with the Prologue on Saturday and Le Grand Depart on Sunday. In short, lekker!

Hup Holland Hup

O right, this happened during the #NED #BRA game last Friday in the Oude Haven. There was a small joyful outbreak. See it here. Credits to pixels media for editing.

Up There

This documentary clip about advertisement painters in NY made my day a couple weeks ago. Simply striking. It’s part of The Ritual Project. Turn of your cell and take a moment to watch it all here.

Great time of the year

I had an awesome weekend last week. Angelos is getting married so we figured it was time for a Bachelor party on the day Holland was playing against Japan. Two instant wins! We had so much fun hahaha. Seeing pictures and reading stories makes me giggle like crazy. Great job guys! We served Angelos well that day. Can’t wait to see all the pictures and videos. Another good thing is the weather which is picking up again which is the ultimate base ingredient for lots of outdoor happenings. I’ll be visiting De Parade today and friday and the Awakenings Festival on saturday. Meanwhile, there’s still a lot of footy going on. Lets hope we get pass the next round. Hup Holland Hup!
