gotcha!
Perfect timing of these go-ginger-go-girls. That modern-vintage, clean touch of Emilie Vercruysse photography is just hitting all the right buttons for me. What a plus to capture a summerglow together with a crisp winter hominess. Picture by courtesy of Emilie Vercruysse.
it’s windy outside…
So time to read a book and chill down a bit. Isn’t this image a kind of capturing the ‘becoming what you read’ concept. Picture by Claude of Tempsfiles

Like thin air, these breathtaking pictures of Thirza Schaap for ‘papiermache‘- and ‘milk‘ magazine. Love the seemingly easyness in her photography, in particular her work with children. Besides that she is a truly fun person to work with.

Inspiring postcard by Marije Tolman on my table. Marije makes great books like the much rewarded book ‘De Boomhut’ [The Treehouse]. A sweat story with impressive drawings she made with her father.

Breathtaking view at this lookout point in Aurland, Norway. This wooden lookout point is created by Saunders Architecture. Wonder if it will be windy up there and how big will be the moon at night. Wishlisted to see one day. via Its nice that
