Mother Nature Hates Me.



Sooo, definitely haven't updated this in a while. Decided to after my grandmother has been asking me about it at every chance she gets. Kidding, Grandma..but really. That's okay I realize that I've been one giant fail about updating this. Lots has happened between now and then. It's December TOMORROW. INSANE. I don't know where the time has gone.


My sister and mum are coming this year for Christmas. They're meeting me in Paris because we're spending Christmas with my aunt, which should be really fun. Our Australian friends are also coming and my dad is going to try and make it from Japan so that should be a good time. After Christmas (on the 26th) I have my friend Meg coming from home. I'm really excited to see her. It should be good to see someone from home, and she's never been to Europe before. We're going to tour around Paris until the 29th, then she's coming back to Amsterdam with me until the 3rd. It's crazy, I remember her and my parents booking their tickets well over two months ago, and now it's 20 days or something crazy like that.


I've been meeting some really cool people here. Check out --> Amsterdam Acoustics. My friend and I met the guys who are behind that project last Friday night. They were really cool and invited us to come to a session next week when they're shooting Kings Of Convenience, and photograph for them. So, we'll see where that goes. Should be a cool experience.


It's gotten wickedly cold here. Every time I ride my bike I think that one of my limbs is going to fall off. The wind is horrible too. It stops my bike sometimes. Usually I'm on the way to swimming too, so by the time I get there I've gotten a 30 minute spin class in. DEATH. And, you think if the wind was ahead of you on the way there, it would be working with you on the way back..right? NO. Definitely not in this country. Mother nature hates me apparently, and loves the idea of making it rain ALL THE TIME. I'm really ready to get one of those bike poncho's. I swore to myself that I would NEVER get one, but they are looking pretty good right now.


I've discovered that Dutch people are very, very strange. I can't describe it really. It's just something that you have to experience. I saw a male teenage boy wearing ugg boots the other day. Yeah. That's exactly what I mean.


I'm going to put up some random pictures that I've taken. Most are crazy lighting pictures that I've taken in clubs...that's not all I do...I swear







This is my friend Faith. We went to a VICE Magazine party a while ago, and it was awesome!

This picture is insane because I have a mode on my camera that is really slow, so when people move it catches all their movements...that's why there is like 4 shadows of each person.


There was a GIANT random carnival in the middle of Dam Square. Weirddd.

Cool picture of the sunset I took the other night.
