Cats and Dogs being used as shark bait alive!

Please sign the petition and tell as many people as you can to do the same. It sounds like this has been a recurring problem on the French island and God knows where else, but raising the awareness of this alone could save humdreds if not thousands of animals from unspeakable cruelty.
The Petition is here:

The Video is here:
(In French. The dog depicted in the imae above and in the video is a rescued dog found on a beach.)

Tea party

Oh how i love this perfect tool to express myself and loose myself in.. Photography is such a fantastic way to be able to get away from the difficult periods in life... for a little while. I really am blessed to have found this love... the camera...
Daniela is writing a children's book and talking about the stories in that book, i got inspired to do a photoshoot about living dolls in the forest. We were all dressed up and after buying cakes we stepped into my car and drove to the forest to find a suitable place to shoot our Tea Party.
I tell you.. finding that perfect spot was not so easy. We must have walked for miles! Totally overdressed with heavy make up on. Bags with whipped cream cakes, blanket, Marrocan tea set, camera, tripod and more stuff walking thru the forest, sweating like otters, getting looked at by people who were walking there with their dog and children or loved ones. Nooo, i did not feel embarrassed. It is nice to see that your life is somewhat more deviant than that of the regular good citizens of society;)
Anyway, we found a spot finally:)
Herewith some photos of the shoot:

"Op het punt van Aanraken" part II
I promised that i would publish a report of the show i did on 22th of May. The show was an absolutly fantastic experience. To be able to work together with such talented and devoted artists was a privilege. I was really nervous as the show could only be prepared virtually. Francois made a special webpage where we could post our ideas and our work so that we could be inspired with it and where we could brainstorm. We did not have a lot of time to do this as Lara and Francois are from South Africa and they only where in Holland for a short amount of time. Also i had a trip planned to the Domenican Republic where i did not have access to the internet. The day before the show and the day of the show we came together to give the show the final form. And as i sat there, I just knew it would be terrific. I was really really nervous because not only my photos were projected on a screen but i also needed to dance on stage in the three intermezzos. I will explain; the show was devided in three parts and each part was to be announced with an expressive dance which would indicate the different phase of the show. "Op het punt van aanraken" means "on the break of touch". Touching in the meaning of; your art touches me, it inspires me to create great art. Phase I: we are aware of our existence but can not exactly find
Phase II: the actually touching.. wild.. existentialism, inspirational orgasm ,

Phase III: satisfaction, content feeling, the touching has finally took place.

When i was looking at Lara reading here poetry accompanied with Francois music and my photos, i admired her so much. She looked so strong and sexy, so confident.

I knew this was going an experience which i would never forget. And made me thirsty for MORE!!!!
My next project will be an exposition in Antwerp on the 4th of September. Also i am working for the album cover for Duncan Pattersons next album (he is a bandmember from Antimatter). Updates soon!!
