Today it has been 27 years we have been a mum and dad. The birth of your first child is something that will always stay with you. It was a warm day, the 4th of august 1982. This morning we got this picture. He looks good, our oldest son Thomas, there [...] These last days have thundered by like an emotional rollercoaster. After the passing of my cousin we went to his house on Monday for condolences. On Tuesday morning I had a checkup at the hospital, where I didn’t receive the answers I so crave. It will be waiting and hoping for something to happen with this [...] I took the boat out to Alkmaar. It was a wonderful, [...] No, this is not “the beauty and the beast”, it is in fact one of my old time favorites. We didn’t know eachother for a very long time and we loved it that this picture was made. It has spent lots of time on a lot of clipboards, so I had to remove the rough edges.

Back in 2004 I didn’t own a negative scanner and it was a busy [...] We used to take a family photograph every Christmas, complete with holiday cake and purring cats. The camera was set on a tripod and the time release was activated. I never looked relaxed in the pictures, because I always had to make a frantic run to a reserved spot and then look as if I’d been [...] It may well seem that I have a thing about describing my visits to the barber, but that’s just a coincidence, I assure you. A couple of years ago I came back into contact with Robin Eichenberger, who was one of my pupils in 1979. He emailed that he was now a hairdresser, and here in [...] I have suffered, since 1962, from Matthew Mania, a fairly harmless disorder that flares up around this time every year. At the age of 10 (almost 11) I sang my part along with the boys choir in Zaandam; I also participated in 1963, but then my young soprano voice disappeared. Until 2000, I had to be satisfied with just [...] |
