CLIENT!
While I was busy making a lot of Photographic memories for first year students of Leiden University it took a while before the post-processing of the SummerDarkness performance of Client. They where in one word: fabulous!!
So I guess I'll be seeing them quite more often from now on ;-). Too bad I've got a wedding on Friday.. so I have to miss Malmö.. Perhaps London? Barcelona? Amiens? You never know where I might pop up..The photographs I promised to Client A and B and M and E and the dutch fans I met at the concert are posted at Client-art!

Ibiza Citadel got fragmented.
The first flaw of working with a mac was actually quite frustrating. Unlike a windows-pc it seems you cannot just exchange a memory card with another without first "trashing" it.. After inserting the second card (which contained about 300 pictures) the mac wasn't able to see the contains of the card.. afterwards the camera didn't recognise the card either!! So the Mac really taught me an ugly lesson.
Luckily Sandisk has got fine recovery-software.. but the mac didn't want to co-operate.. luckily the pc at home did. Unfortunately about 20 pictures were damaged beyond repair.. and about two got fragmented like the one above.. nevertheless it's an interesting effect!

Italian Hospitality.
This is the italian way of hospitality.. Just parking your car right at the point where pedestrians should be able to cross the street. With e.g. a wheelchair or a child-buggy it gets "fun". It wouldn't surprise you we've had quite a lot the desire to just drive against/over/damage this "well" parked vehicles. We didn't, while we're civilised.
Italians, are quite the opposite.. apart from parking they disobeye traffic-rules as if they do not exist. Red light? what's that?
Finally I've got a warning for all cashmachine-users, while we were mugged with an ugly "magic" trick.
Rule nr.1: Never use the machine with suspicious characters in vicinity. If possible: use the machine with a "life"-shield of your travelcompanion.
Rule nr.2: If there where none, but just after inserting your cart there is: Block the passage to the card-insert while you might be distracted and the mugger will be able to get your card out in an instant. So, when the machine tells you to insert your card while you already did.. it's not the machine who swallowed the card.. it just got stolen..
Rule nr.3: NEVER OBEY THE INSTRUCTIONS OF THIS SUPPOSED TO BE FRIENDLY PERSON WHO APPROACHED YOU JUST AFTER INSERTING THE CARD.. WHILE IT'S HE/SHE WHO JUST MUGGED YOU AND ONLY NEEDS ONE MORE THING:.. THE CODE.
Rule nr.4: If possible check if you can use your cellphone in the vicinity of the cash-machine.. you're at greater risk in a (perhaps artificial) "dead zone".. even in the innercity!! Also program the number of the credit-card/bankcard blockage-office so you can block the card instandly.
It happens,.. unfortunately. Don't get paranoid, but be aware.. And the Italian Police? They're just there to show off.. apart from their uniform they're useless.
