Camiel’s starting point towards the social web.
As you’ve seen on some of my previous Running Log posts, I was at the island of Terschelling last weekend. We had a lovely time as family and I was able to bring along my camera gear to practice some photography skills.
Terschelling offers the perfect balance between nature and good hospitality. As a result we were really able to disconnect and gain some good energy for the stretch until the summer holiday.
Lovely weather and spring scenery today. It’s such a joy to be able to have a view like this.
I joined Thijs yesterday morning for a workshop bird photography in the Biesbosch. It was nice to learn something new by Richard Verroen, who gave the private workshop and I could imagine going to area again for some more practice.
By the way, Thijs has a pretty nice photo on his own website too.
Now this is an interesting take on photography variables. I’m for sure going to try this out soon. Fil Neman is right, in the days of shooting with traditional film you would always go for some type of 400 film. This was your typical ‘middle of the road’ film that worked both in- and outdoors.

Not the best snow ever this year, still having a lot of fun though.
The joining of people to devices has been rapid and unalterable. The application of the personal device in daily life has made tasks take less time. Far away places and people feel closer than ever before. Despite the obvious benefits that these advances in technology have contributed to society, the social and physical implications are slowly revealing themselves. In similar ways that photography transformed the lived experience into the photographable, performable, and reproducible experience, personal devices are shifting behaviors while simultaneously blending into the landscape by taking form as being one with the body. This phantom limb is used as a way of signaling busyness and unapproachability to strangers while existing as an addictive force that promotes the splitting of attention between those who are physically with you and those who are not.

Such a cool photography project, I wish I had the talent and time to do something like this.
