After having a lovely and beautiful daughter I have got a diddo nephew! 16 days later my sister and her husband got a son. He looks like an angel!

Same old, same old..

There will be some more of her on this weblog but that you all knew and said to me already.. a B&W of Josephine..

I am still OK...

I have made only 174 photo's yet in the last 5 days of Josephine. That is only "one roll" a day.. That is not too bad is it?

She is just too lovely not to photograph..

Thank you

Thank you all who send their regards. We are focused on the homefront so I am not always able to thank you in return for the kind words.

Kind regards, Eelco

Cause I am not the man I used to be...

Because I am a FATHER!!!! now! Jipperdyjip! I have a daughter called Josephine and you can see her on www.josephinevoogd.com . Visit her and if you like, you can congratulate her!

Ok, here she is too!

Glad I made a category called miracles...

UPDATE:
When I just had dinner I had a flashback of a situation similar as today. I once worked in Germany and as my friends know I have two passions: Porsche (or anything really fast on wheels) and beautiful mature women.. (Like the moms of your friends you actually were in love with..) The first passion I can not give into as I simply lack the money to drive one properly. The second one is just a dream which I enjoy like "stiffler's mom" in the movie American Pie. I am very happily married but enjoy the company of experienced gracious women.

So.. On one day in Germany, beautiful weather, we had a clientday of the company I worked for. All accountmanagers where at the main office and one was a rich fellow that worked only for pleasure. I knew he owned a 1 year old Porsche Carrera 4 but I had never seen it. He also knew that it was a great passion of me. So I stand there on our parking lot in the sun and this guy, Franz Jozef walks up to me and says.. my wife wants you to take her for a spin in the Porsche... I was astonished... and speechless. Me, a 24 year old is asked to go drive a Porsche with a Ann Archer/martha Stewart type of very 40-ish, very classy lady in it.. Because he was so rich he only had liability on the car which made it more risky. His insurance was his wife in the car, I guess..

So, I took it for a spin, the roof open, the sound of the best engine in the world (yes a Ferrari V8 is absolutely second best..) echoed against the forest trees and I had lady Di from Germany beside me. At that moment you should actually crash the car as you need to get out at a moment of great excitement...

I had to choose for the Porsche at that moment, could not afford to ask her if we just head of to Monte Carlo with me for the night.. but the experience was burned into my memory for life :-)

We'll, I am older now, still love cars and my wife will get older by itself sso she is guaranteed that my interest will only increase..

But just given the opportunity to go play with very equipment without somebody watching your back was a bit of the same experience. I am not a real materialist but I just love well designed and great performing products..

So, for what is was worth..

Sometimes you have all the luck. The only 1Ds owner I know happens to be a member of the Nautic Club where I also sail. His wife called me to look at a PC Virus kind of problem (Because I work at a large system integrator I am always seen as the PC problem solver.. sometimes I am).

I stayed for coffee and he showed me his 1Ds because he did a photoshoot at home the Friday for the weekend.. To make a long story short, he offered me to take his case with a 1Ds, a 70-200 2.8L and a 28-70L home for the rest of the Sunday to play with... That is a $11.000 suitcase full of toys I could play with .. YAHOO!!!! And I don't mean the outdated searchengine..

When I come out of shock I will be posting on and of the series of RAW I am shooting with this camera.. for now: Shooting season (of 3 hours) is opened!!

You are looking at one happy puppy!

Great news from us!

Today I made the absolute most beautiful picture with my 10D.. and it was only a copy of a picture taken by the gynecologist. I present to you (If all goes well) Voogd JR!

This little miracle is only 10.5 weeks old so we are still anxious to see it grow and stay healthy. We saw him/her move and seen and heard the heart already beating! I chose to publish this on my log too as it is one of the most [rephrase] The most important thing in my life right now. I know for sure that it will be a good excuse to take out the 10D 100x a day.. and convince my wife to get even more and better glass to capture this newcomer!

Stay with us and one day I hopefully present a 6.3m full colour post!
