Texters
Photographer Joseph O. Holmes, known for his ‘Joe’s NYC photo blog‘, came up with another series of photos: Texters. Texters is a great serie and a simple idea about random people texting, totally in their own world and focussing on the LCD screen of their mobile phone.

Rotterdam – Stockholm
In exactly a month me, and two of my friends, will go on a road trip from Rotterdam to Stockholm. Between 1400 and 1500 kilometers. On our trip we will hit Hamburg and Copenhagen and finally we will end up in Stockholm for the International Film Festival, and hopefully some great parties.
Besides the fact I’m excited, road trip means freedom for me, I will hopefully take a lot of great pictures as well which will be posted here. Whenever the time is there you should check them out.
For now, let’s enjoy the preparation phase.
