My version of 'Whoopi Goldberg in a tub of milk' with #pregnant Eva. We had a lot of fun in our old house with this vintage tub filled with powder milk. Time flies as the one in this belly is allready five years old now.

When converting some old code to stimulus I needed a way to hide the flash messages that Rails generates in native javascript.

(Flash messages are notifications to inform a user that a CRUD action has taken place. E.g. User updates successfully.)

import { Controller } from 'stimulus';

export default class extends Controller {
  static targets = ['message']

  connect() {
    this.timeout = setTimeout(this.closeFlash, 2500);
  }

  disconnect() {
    clearTimeout(this.timeout);
  }

  closeFlash = () => {
    this.element.style.display = 'none';
  }

  get flashBox() {
    return $(this.element);
  }
}

Day one of our #staycation in the dunes near Schoorl. Almost the same as France :)

Wandering Eye. Pretty much every phone booth in London is filled with these Tart Cards. They originated in the 1960s as handwritten postcards outside prostitutes’ flats or in the windows of newsagents. Apperently there’s a whole culture around these things.

Every year in September we visit our parents in Portugal to catch some last summer sunshine. With the current corona epidemic chances are this trip (among others) will be canceled. We had great plans for 2020, but slowly this year is starting to fade away like it never happened.

Inspired by Marc Lagrange’s - High priestess from the series And God Created Women I always admired how he walked the fine line between artistic and erotic nude.

Playing behind the curtains is one of those things every kid does. I captured this moment on our vacation. My son just stopped and stared. For me it represents growing up and the innocence of childhood.

Life is just better at the beach. Everything is better at the beach! With no where to go and no where to be, a day at the beach is just what you need.

Went to Venice a couple of weeks ago. The weather was cloudy in february but it was not so crowded as in the summer months. Took some great black and white pictures. It is one of those bucket list locations, but it's far from authentic. Great for a day or two.

I always like the way Helmut Newton uses mirrors as a recurring item in his photography. When I saw this big mirror in our hotel room in Venice I just new I had to take this picture. It was a good excuse to try out my new Fuji x100f camera.
