OK, let me open this update with the second Dag in de Branding festival gallery. I have now become an official photographer and cinematographer of the festival, and I am thus preparing a brand new project page dedicated solely to this festival of contemporary music, one that will contain not only the photographs, but also the trailers that I will soon start making... Stay tuned.

Apart from this, I have covered a number of a rather interesting jazzy and funky events, the two of which need no special introduction whatsoever - Dr. Lonnie SMITH and Fun Lovin’ Criminals. Widely regarded as one of, if not the ultimate master of the Hammond organ out there, you simply had to be there to understand why, the instrument simply did seem to produce an infinite number of otherworldly sounds throughout the concert. Should you ever be able to see him live, make sure you do, it is an unforgettable experience.

The same advice applies to Fun Lovin’ Criminals. They truly are, as their very name so aptly suggests, a fun lovin’ bunch. This is the second time I have been photographing their live performance and while not much has changed between the two, I’d dare say it is for the best, because there are only a few other bands I know of that can infuse their (jam packed) audience with so much fun, causing literally the entire hall to jump around and basically have a great time. Highly recommended.

I will be shooting three new music videos over the coming three weeks, just in time to start adding content to another major section of the site - @MOVIES, which will present in one place all my video works...

So much for now, expect another update very soon,
