In our series of guestbloggers that were selected during my Twitter Critique day it’s time for Maxime today.
Her image I loved (as a fashion photographer) because it was totally different from what I saw that day. When I visited her site I also loved what I see, so here she is. Ladies and Gentleman the blog is for Maxime today.
Be sure to visit her on her site http://maximecardol.nl
Sometimes on twitter I host a small “critique day” on which people can tweet their images and I give a small review. The best images I select and the people I will give a chance to post something on my blog. When I saw the image Bart send me the first thing that struck me was that I don’t like “smokers” and now don’t get me wrong, I don’t mean the PEOPLE of course, I just don’t like smoking. But as Bart shows in this guestblog (and I agree) sometimes photographing these smokers can be very nice. I asked Bart for more images and I found out he was doing a series, so that was for me time to invite him over here to tell us about his photography and smokers…. so ladies and gents here is BartX.

Ok, let’s first tell you what my idea is with these small updates.
They are here for fun, and fun only.
It’s not high-class blog material, it’s not high-quality photography or video work, it’s just some news updates to keep you readers updated on what we do over here and what we are planning, that’s why the blog also has a picture of the day to keep the blog running as you are used to (next to these posts), I also can’t promise I will do one every day because we don’t yet know what we’re gone do to be honest, we have some meetings planned and of course some sightseeing but we will see what ends up here.
So today was day 1.
We left early this morning for Schiphol, the first flight we took to Washington DC were we had 2.5 hours to switch to the flight to Orlando. We had a great flight with good inflight entertainment (as you can see in the video), because the plane was not full we could use three seats for the two of us, and let’s be frank with the iPad you can easily spend a few hours without getting bored. As you could have seen in the video I’m playing Angry birds at the moment, I did play the free version for a while and I upgraded to the full version for the flight, finally some time to experiment with it 😀
Normally I’m never sick from flying, but landing in Washington DC was not a good thing, luckily I was not the only one. Loads of turbulence to a point I had the feeling I was getting seasick. We fly regularly and this was for us without a doubt the worst shaking landing ever.
At the moment we’ve arrived at the hotel and ran out for a very late diner, We’ve been up for way too long so I will keep the blogpost short. Enjoy the video we shot today with the iPhone, and please remember what I posted in front, these Orlando blog post are just for fun and to share some of the things we do here. If you guys like it we will keep posting it 😀
Ok we are off to Photoshop World.
I got some great keynotes that I’ve written the last few weeks so I think you are gone love this (adressed to the visitors of PSW of course :D). The blog won’t be quiet for the coming days however. Starting tomorrow there will be some guestblogs on the blog from the people that I invited after the twitter critique day last week, I’m sure you will enjoy them.
When we arrive in the States I will also try to update the blog on a two daily basis with some backstage video and photo material so there will always be something to read. So from the air we wish you all much reading pleasure the coming days with the guestbloggers 😀 And see you soon.
