Don't Eat The Yellow Snow..., a photo from Bergamo, Lombardia

Photographer's Note

and after a long walk throught the dirty melting snow, we took a rest at an abandonned hotel by an deserted ski resort high in the mountains...
Too bad it was abandonned as we forgot to bring something to drink...
But on the other hand it was quite nice to be alone in such a tranquil place, with the sun burning in our faces and snow to drink, a colt beer would be heaven thought...

ps. and NO Gal this is not my psychiatric institution ;0D

I remember especially this song of great Frank: "why does it hurt when I ... "
(bop bop ta da ta da)
"my ... feel like a pair of maracas"
(bop bop ta da ta da)

I hope you didn't feel this bad sensations due the fact you was without beer there (sorry for my curiosity "we": you and ?):-)))

In any case also without alcol in your body you was ready to take another headwork in the alienating picture category. I see on that chair the ghost of a mad man with an empty look abandoned to his destiny in an ice prison.

P.S. Compliments for your new Intro photo.

Ohhh it seems to be a nice situation, I really liked to be there James!
The note and the title are very funny and I like very much the shadow of the chair and the fence...

great one
Famke ;-)

Jorit, Hij is mooi,
Prachtig lijnenspel, mooi kleuren effect, met de schaduw en het tegenlicht. Frank Zappa, ja mijn generatie is ermee opgegroeid.

You always find something "special" just as here and composed in a fine way !
The shadows gives the nice textures,

Great one..... "freon"......

Yeah, yeah.. so, this is your usual chair at the mansion, heuh? You remind me of "Flying over a cucos's nest". Of course, you don't have the looks of Nicholson, but definitely the lips of a psychotic young fellow. You spend all your afternoons there dreaming about a beer, I suppose. And of course an Heineken, because you've missed meanwhile the tastes and beauties of the rest of the world. Zappa! You don't surprise me anymore. You were born among the wrong generation. YOu're too old for your real age. You're a singular character. A curiosity. A freakin' mad man, if you ask me.

So, now that I'm praying for the pope, I will put you also in my prayers so that you have a chance (no you silly, not of being buried in the Vatican) to enter the kingdom above in the heavens one day.

Ok, the restaurant was closed and there wasn't any beer. So tell me: where does the blue tone come from??? Are you using again your medication as a way to get high????

Hey, from the margins I see, I suspect you printed this one by yourself and with the help of some blue toner, am I right? chairs, BW and Frankie, that's the kind of agenda that fits me...

Would have worked with a classic processing, but as we're moving too slow and you are you is, the dash of crazyness in it makes it definitely yours...btw, how's your stinkfoot?

(apostrophe was one of my favorites, although sheikh yerbouti and overnite sensation albums are masterpieces°

stinkfoot? man, this is getting interesting.

cool photo. it has a really harsh look to it but obviously the whole thing's been really carefully composed and processed. it's a goodie.

i found a link to the song here. the animation is less than inspired but you get to look at this photo with musical accompaniment. i suspect it's the closest thing to being in jorrit's mind that you can get without the help of psychedelics.

unless you're jorrit, i suppose. but i suspect even he needs help sometimes...;)
