Russian Poetry Lesson
We do not always get along very well, but Alexander is my only real contact in Russia and I love the man. I worked with him on the first Russian Museum for Erotic Art, at the Novy Arbat, quite close to the Kremlin. I was amazed by the productivity of the Russian construction workers who built the largest museum of its kind in little over [...]
November (Dutch)
It is this time of the year again. Every autumn I am reminded of a poem called ‘November’ by Dutch Poet J.C. Bloem. This year I decided to create an animation based on a sculpture of his face and the sound bytes. I am having fun.
Bulldog Reading Dylan Thomas (remake)
Some time ago the original bulldog reading poetry that I posted in 2007 on YouTube reached over 30K views. Not really spectacular if you consider the fact that it took 10 years to get there.

Going to this site would make a person believe that love is a state of mind that can be bought [...]
WAM – Models having fun
WAM as you may know or may not know stands for Wet and Messy. It is fetish, actually and it can be experienced with all sorts of fluids. In this particular case it is yogurt. I have done quite a few yogurt shoots. It is simple. We buy 12 liters of yogurt and put it on the heating for a while. Then we poor it over the models or have them [...]
Shooting fish in a barrel
To me as a photographer who likes to direct a photograph it is almost awkward to photograph a highly professional model like Alicia. It feels like shooting fish in barrel. Every pose she strikes is perfect. There is nothing to do for me but pushing my camera button and worrying if the flashes can keep up with the pace. The results were [...]
