Until yesterday Screenpunk had a nice bumpy flickrstatistical curve that he studied every day intensely for getting hints on how to improve the photostream to attract more viewers and views.

Screenpunks most daring conclusion until now was twofold:
1. people like to make jokes about hamburgers and hotdogs
2. if you upload images with nice ladies on it, you attract visitors.

Screenpunk was just asessing how one can portrait sexy hot dog ladies, when yesterday the statscurve started skyrocketing, flatting out all bumps.

Whassup dog? Somebody posted a Screenpunk picture on reddit.com and it got some controversy and now viewers come to Screenpunks Photostream as flies to the cake. And what is it they are looking for? Sexy Ladies? Hot Dogs?

Nope, they are looking at a ruggin' doormat !

21/07/08 08:46 In Amsterdam there is only wind and dark and rain. No sun, no bumpy tshirts, no funny streetshots, no sparkling outdoors. It is the lousiest summer since 2007 and when this continues i will start living on Flickr 24/7.

* Preparers for Vehiclarers * the slogan on the front of the roller translates masomeno.

Behind the workers you see the wheel of Jantje Groen turning in. Jantje is a modern emancipated Amsterdam selfconcious man, who just brought his children to school in his big bakfiets and is now headed to work in a semi-intellectual environment.

Jantje is not always happy and when he passes the workers he starts swearing at them because they block the road for him and his political correct vehicle. Jantje is not supposed to ride his bike there at all, but that does not inflict his moral stance.

The workers get vissible annoyed by Jantjes appearance and tell him that he should turn to Job Cohen with his complaints, the mayor of Amsterdam.

Damn what a petty i didnt take a picture of Jantje.

There was another girl at the scene who started protesting when she noticed me taking pictures.
"No pictures. She is a minor. She is a minor," she said in English (not Dutch).

I guess she was refering at the blond girl who was modelling and by now i am wondering what she was doing by stressing the fact there was a minor involved.

My indepth sociopsychological analysis goes here:
* she does not only not want me to refrain from taking a picture of the young model, she somehow tries to convince me its punishable forbidden not to do so
* she comes to this thought because she talked with a 'wise adult' on the photoshoot who gave her some kind of warning on the risks of public modelling in the streets of Amsterdam, for example dirty old foreign tourists who can get aroused by young girls
* out of the conversation with the wise adult, the moral inflicted girl feels uncomfortable herself for going out in public to take pictures of her minor friend
* the first occassion she gets she tries to transfer her guilty feeling

Well its a good thing we have a city where we can freely observate, interpretate and take pictures without being depended of the judgements of smarty schoolgirls.

Screenpunks not interested in shooting minors, but in shooting funny streetscenery and smartsy commenting on it.

Friday 13th, a few hours before the EK match Holland - France, miss Screenpunk and me were waiting at one of the four elevator doors in our appartment block to get to the Albert Hein supermarket to do some football shoppings. We were discussing if we wanted to eat chicken wings during the match, meatballs, or maybe both.

Then the elevator door opened and out of the blue we were confronted with this couple standing in the elevator completely naked !

"O, wrong floor," the naked guy said pretty cool when he saw our perplexed faces. Then he pushed a button on the control panel. The naked girl behind him started laughing very loud. When the doors closed i saw she wore black stockings with flowers on it.
"Dit is heel apart," said miss Screenpunk, this is very unusual.

Up to the Albert Hein and back miss Screenpunk and me discussed what we had seen and how this nude couple could end up in the elevator. We have few possibilities:
- she is a escortgirl that was forced into certain sexacts. She tried to escape, but he followed her and got up with her in the elevator. But we dont think this plausibel because her laughing so loud when she saw us;
- they are two singles who have each a seperate appartment in our block. They were having sex in one appartment and decided during their acts to move to another appartment;
- they are just a crazy couple who thought the elevator - with its mirror, red carpet and moody spotlights - is some kind of bordello where they wanted to have sex

Miss Screenpunk is persuading me since Friday also to go naked in the elevator and see what happens. I dont like that idea, but every few hours i take my camera to the elevator, call the elevator up and push the camerabutton when the doors open. Who knows what will show, hahaha.

Queen Juliana & Uncle Herbert

When Janfromseattle showed me the way to the joys and festivities of Uncle Herbert Day i immediately realised i had seen that face before.

After backtraking Herb a few hours i found this picture and i knew this was it.

Its Uncle Herbert together with the former Dutch Queen Juliana. I guess Juliana needed Uncle Herbert to accompany her visiting doll hospitals, when her husband Bernhard was out chasing lions in Africa or mistresses in France.

In Holland we celebrate Queensday every year on april 30th. I'm gonne write the Rijksvoorlichtingsdienst and suggest some extension of the meaning of that day now, for Uncle Herbert was at the side of our late queen in difficult times.

Herbert, thank you!
