Days go By

Fantastic Party the Love dance, I danced all night.
I almost did not get there.
I forgot my keys inside the lock and only remembered after closing the door behind me.
So I had to find a way to get back in the house.
No telephone and storming, it was some job.
But in the end the Le Belle had an extra key.
so I took a taxi and went out of town to landsmeer.
Came back, then it was time to go dancing.
Heavy bursts of stormy weather here, but for only 30 min. then calm as if nothing happened.
I saw earlier on that Nelson Mandela, Bless him.
Has still time to make people remember that Hiv and aids is still here and growing fast.
This was it for me, i'm happy that I can see the sun rise on this sunday morning if he comes out.
All the best wishes to France, Portugal and USA from Amsterdam.
Ciao MMaxi


gone.

Happy birthday Madeiraman, may the joy of photography continue.

My Digital Camera 2001/2007


When turned off, Will I dream?


It's the day before my Master's 36th birthday.
Also, the day before I am retiring. My Master is getting a new digital camera. A Nikon Coolpix with at least 5 more megapixels than I have.
I enjoyed very much the years I spent in the company of my Master, and gave him 6 years of great photographic moments.
I will, off course, remain on duty. But, mostly at home with small videos.

Some of the People I photographed...

LOVE & our family, MMaxi, Joao da Silva & family, Amsreno, Dioxyd, the Paris Boyz, all of MMaxi's family, Candice, Joan & Larry, Hgo, David Garcia, Alex, Andreas, Paul, Shanti, Kiyo, Sjorts, the Le Belles, Chris, Sandi, Sylvia & Myrna, Jim, and countless others.

Some of the Places I photographed...

Amsterdam, Paris, Madeira, Porto Santo, Lisbon, Porto, Florence, Vienna, Venice, Los Angeles, New York, San Francisco, Las Vegas, Prague, London, Salt Lake City & Coalville, Utah, Milan, and Berlin - where I was purchased after my predecessor was stolen in the Berlin airport in 2001.

Also, 3000 pictures of Animals, 2800 photos of Flowers, and 650 small videos.

At least 15% of the pictures I took were deleted.

Thank you all for the lovely comments about my photos on Madeiraman and Tolar. I will miss you.

Next time you see a small indoor movie on the above mentioned Bloggs, it will most certainly be done by me.

Keep taking pictures, keep enjoying and taking care of your cameras.

Yours, Cannon Powershot S50..................
