Taking it easy on the world's largest salt flats. Bolivia.
We couldn't decide on what to 'write', the first thought was "BOLIVIA", but no one could figure out how to do the 'B'... though I must add that 'S' isn't easy either... one guy had a t-shirt with the words TAKE IT EASY written on them... and the rest is history.
I only had a 10 second timer window to push the shutter and sprint to finish the '!'

*actually it's Hoboken... JerseyCity is off to the left.
Funny considering my hometown in Belgium (Wilrijk-Antwerp) is walking distance to the original town of Hoboken, Belgium.
My late grandmother used to tell me that it was named after a Flemish boy who was eating a sandwich (in oldschool Flemish called a 'boke' [boh ke]) on a tram... the train suddenly stopped and the sandwich went flying, in which he screamed "Ho boke!"
ie- "Stop sandwich!"
I know, I know... just one of those things you seem never to forget. Nevermind the fact that Hoboken has been around a little longer than trams have.
This was also my first shoot in months... my computer had melted itself, and took my urge to shoot along with it. Now I'm back.

DUMBO, Brooklyn
4x5
In May 2005 I put together a show called "Hometown Nights". This image along with "Clinton," "Zalm," "Cherry," "Joe DiMaggio," "Grand," "Koning Albert II," and "Wilhelmina Op Zuid" were all in it. All works were titled by the name of the street I was standing on (or closest to) while shooting the image.
Please visit my photography blog for my most recent work, cheers!

Taken back in 2001 with a 35mm Nikon.
Waiting for the G train across the platfrom (which can take a while), so took a couple shots of the A/C coming in. Lucky for me that in this frame you can just make out the woman looking over her shoulder at me, plus the fact I timed it just about right to let enough time go by when the train was standing still, hence you can make out the train. All-in-all, I'm happy, 1 out of 2 frames, and this is what I got.
I wouldn't dare trying this again, with all the security hype.
