		<title>Cookie</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A cookie in photography is short for cookaloris. It&#8217;s a technique where you shoot your flash through something with holes so the light that goes through creates a textured shadow. For example you can aim your light source at a piece of plywood, that has a bunch of random cut holes like this. Instead of [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Sorry I haven&#8217;t updated this blog for a while. I have been so busy watching the World Cup football games I can&#8217;t get any work done! But it appears my home country (The Netherlands) is going to the finals in Johannesburg!!!!! We even beat Brazil in the quarter finals. Come watch the World Cup final [...]]]></description>

		<title>Warehouse</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s fun to shoot in old warehouses. You can walk around and discover cool little spots to photograph everywhere. We&#8217;re in front of an old freight elevator here which I thought would make a great backdrop. I like the way the light falls on Amber&#8217;s hair. A little more than just a rim light, but [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Robot Etudes</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This blog usually functions as a journal for my photography endeavors, but I&#8217;m quite excited about this next project and figured it&#8217;s somewhat related that I decided to throw it in. For the past three months architects and engineers students at the University of Pennsylvania have been working together on building mechatronic devices (think robots) [...]]]></description>

		<title>Private Show</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Photographers always get front row seats. Or we get to hang out backstage with the band. But what&#8217;s best is that sometime we get hired and get our own private show. Above: Timaree Schmit]]></description>

		<title>kids always steal the show</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The great things about kids is that they are so expressive. They seem to be in their own little world. Unlike grownups they don&#8217;t mind getting their picture taken. They&#8217;re not so self conscious and they&#8217;re usually not that shy. I like to get down on one knee when I photograph them to make myself [...]]]></description>

		<title>Slow and steady sunset</title>
		<description><![CDATA[About two weeks ago I went to PDMA, a conference about innovation and I saw Guy Kawasaki speak about curve jumping: adopting the latest and greatest piece of technology to stay ahead of the competition. The analogy in photography is to find the newest piece of hardware, whether it&#8217;s a lens baby, some new light [...]]]></description>

		<title>Mechanical Volleyball</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The Intergrated Product Design (IPD) program at my school is one thirds School of Engineering, one thirds School of Design and one thirds Wharton business school. To quote their website: &#8220;&#8230; an opportunity to manifest a synthesis of art and technology and to push the envelope of design &#8230;&#8221; Sounds like fun! Pictured above are [...]]]></description>
