Week 33 was a nice week for me: my sister from Poland was visiting,
so I only worked 2 days, and spent the rest of the time showing her
around the Netherlands. At the same time, some interesting stuff
happened at home, so the mix of images reflects it.
My dog likes food, as does everyone else in this family. And I
always have my camera at hand. My sister had cooked, the weather
was nice so we ate in the garden, and the dog was checking things
out from her customary position under the table:

just like my dog...you never know where he will pop up...
This is what piqued her interest, a typical Polish dish, pierogi,
with the requisite stuff to wash it down:

mmmmmm...... with vodka...?
Then a couple of images from our trips around the country. In the
small lovely town of Gorinchem I spotted this child waiting for his
mother outside a shop, and inspired by Don's recent "waiting"
series, snapped this:

This one is a street conversation in Amsterdam, near the red light
district:

Thursday was one of the two days I did work. When I came home, I
found a full-fledged photo shoot taking place in my garden (or,
more precisely in and around our pool). Our neighbor Felix was
shooting an assignment for GQ involving some obscenely expensive
male underwear, and had decided on a watery theme--hence the use of
our pool. Here is Felix in action on our back porch:

nice series by the pool...love the photog , the joys of smoking and
shooting...good for a prolonged thread here or elsewhere...
The basic setup was that the models (there were two guys) would
pose in the pool:

and then my wife and my son would pour water on the model from each
side because Felix wanted some kind of waterfall effect:

As is obvious from the above image, it is not easy for the model to
keep his eyes open and otherwise hold the pose in those
circumstances, so the shot would be re-taken, and then again and
again and...This was a reasonably nice summer day, and the water in
our pool is heated to 24-26 C, but we are after all talking Holland
here, so after a while the model would be visibly cold:

I certainly got an appreciation of how hard these guys and gals
actually work during a shoot.
For those interested in seeing more, I have put up a separate
gallery of that here:
