Do you kow the Snor festival?

I am very exited... in about two weeks (on Sunday 20 september)

I will be visiting the Snor festival (Utrecht) for the first time!

The snorfestival is a creative festival where you can find inspiration in many senses,

where you can join creative workshops, listen to music and where you can enjoy

some nice drinks and good food. Snorfestival is a real family event,

children will have a great time with all kind of activites especially organized for them!

last year I have seen and heard a lot about this festival and this year

I'm invited to come and join a bloggersevent where a group of bloggers

will share their impressions about all the activities that will take place that day,

via social media or/and on their blogs

In addition to all these activities I'm really looking forward to a special moment at the festival :

the launch of the new book of Zilverblauw called Shoot!

This book is intended for everyone who wants to learn more about photography,

without difficult words and technical slang.

I admire the work of Ankie (founder of the Zilverblauw blog) her fabulous style,

her amazing (analog) photos and great diy ideas for many years,

So I can't wait to discover this book!

I would love to meet you there :-) Tickets are available here but I also may give away

2 tickets! to make a chance to win, just leave a comment here or at my instagramaccount
and I will pick a winner next friday!

location love - "lasloods"

photos elvs

after a fantastic and sunny

long weekend at the dutch coast

it's great to start with this stunning workspace

I made these pictures this weekend

while visiting a temporary (13-14-20-21 june) exposition

in an old whellingfactory in my birth place Vlissingen.

I discoverd the expososition by coincidence

but I was attracted immediately by the beautiful raw atmosphere

just loved the inspiring industrial elements

(as the concrete floors and walls, original details and vintage furniture

made of used materials) of this gorgeous location in combination with

the art works/photo exibibition, mostly made of used materials

found in- and around this historic industrial building

the building will be open for public on the 20th and 21th of June

the project: ' If paradise is half as nice #4 ' is the art project of Dutch and German artists in different configurations.

They claim empty expired factory complexes for a short period to work and exhibit. The artists are inspired by the building and the surrounding area and in this way they create large installations, sculptures, wall paintings (often) specifically designed only for the building. The artist have worked together 3 times before in Leipzig (Germany) and this spring, they work in the yard at the invitation of Culture Lasloods in Vlissingen.

Anton Corbijn

Last view days we enjoyed a long weekend off...

it was a fantastic weekend where we celebrated Kingsday here in the Netherlands

(the birthday of the King, an official day off with a lot of outside

events and organized games for the children).

We also visited the amazing exhibitions of photographer and director of music videos

Anton Corbijn at the Gemeentemuseum (Municipal museum) and the

Fotomuseum (museum for photography) at The Hague.

I am a huge fan of the impressive work of Anton Corbijn so visiting this double-exhibition
really was on top of my "to go" list since the opening at 21th of March

I have admired (again and again) the grainy black and white photos

he took of musicians in the 70s and 80s but I also liked his new themes and experiments

with different techniques, materials and colours.

The Gemeentemuseum - a beautiful art museum designed by dutch architect Berlage - and the Fotomuseum organized the HOLLANDS DEEP (40 years of Corbijn’s life as a photographer)

and 1-2-3-4 (more than 300 shots selected by Anton Corbijn himself) exhibitions
to mark the sxtieth birthday of the photographer and I think it's

the most complete overview of his work in history...
a real must see for every fan of his work!

the exhibitions can be visited until June 21

today summer vacation is officially over,

it's time to go back to school!

I really enjoyed the last holiday days with my family

at the dutch south-coast (Zeeland)

it was such fun and we visited a lot of nice spots!
One of the villages we came along was Veere

where we admired this amazing expostion in a formal church...

Just loved this (im-)perfect location with its large windows,

rough plastered and brick walls, marbled and natural stone floors,

high ceilings and ofcourse all the beautiful items of the

"Confluence" art project by Elis Vermeulen and her guest artists

This exposition consists different "rooms" decorated

with wooden beds covered by beautiful hand-felted fleeces

complemented with stunning (tatoo) photography on the walls

and so much more inspiring things to see and to do!
- oooh we loved these great swings :-)

beautiful simplicity...
Don't miss it if you're in the area
see and read more about the project here
and have a fantastic new week!
