Photographs from Sziget, taken by Wouter.

Yesterday we moved into our new house. It's three bedrooms, two on the first floor and one on the second. It's typically dutch, narrow with a big window at the front. But the best thing is that it is clean! and we're not living with a bunch of other people.

Tomorrow i am giving a presentation at TAC for a studio space. In the evening i am going along to Dekate Mousa, a photo club. They have dark rooms and a lighting studio.

till next time...

pebble beach in Ireland. 2007.

just arrived back from Sziget (music festival in Hungary). Budapest was an amazingly beautiful city. We spent the week camping and not showering, music was being played somewhere on the terrain 24 hours a day for 7 days. Beer ran from low pressure taps at 380 forents per half litre (about 1.50 euro cents, i think about 2 AUD!) Towards the end of the festival my body simply refused to digest the thoroughly awful and often deep fried food served by lazy and entirely uninterested caterers. I wore sunscreen with an SPF of 10!! it was just as hot as the big day out but i managed not to get sunburnt! There were a few moments of relief from the sun, in which it poured down rain. Try to imagine the 10 000 people camping on an island basically trees and dirt without showering for a week. But on Sziget you get into a different mind set, clean is strange. On one of the days i went with Wouter, Alex and Thys to a Bath House in Budapest. We stepped out of the subway in the middle of a park and into a really massive old building with about 20 pools and saunas all with slightly different temperatures. The first one was freezing cold and the second quite warm, around 34 degrees. The hottest one i think was about 38 degrees. The saunas ranged from 40 to 70 degrees (ugh!). Overall Sziget was definately my best festival experience ever! If i am around next year i'll definately be going!
