A BIG THANK you all my friends and contacts on Ipernity for all your visits on my site. You all have given me so much pleasure during the last 4 or is it 5 years! I have made so many friends, some of which left and others that are loyal to me! I appreciate this very much, so thank you again! I'm looking forward to more contact with you.

This is a pastel and hence very difficult technically to do! I spent hours on it, to give the world the right impression of who I am! I look a lot younger of course, as I have deleted the wrinkles. One can do that in art. One can't in a photograph! I hope you like it. As usual, your critics are very welcome!

This is my latest pastel. It wasn't easy with the perspective and a lot of work. As usual, your critics are very welcome!

It's a personal decision, that I won't be doing much photography any more as I want to concentrate on my sculpture. So, my friends, so sorry about this. I will post photos now and again, but definately not every day. Thank you again to all my loyal friends that come and visit every day! You have been really so incredibile and I appreciated it so much. Take care and let's see how it goes!

I didn't have time to paint, so did this drawing of Mahé. He looks a bit older than he is, but I like the expresion in his face! Please leave your critics.

I am preparing for my painting exhibition in Castellar from the 7th of September to the 5th October. If anyone is around here at these dates, please do not hesitate to visit.

I just want to thanks all of you my friends for your visits and the great contact that we have with each other. I have been four years at Ipernity and there has always been someone to make me happy! I appreciate that very much. Let's say, I toast to that continuation!

I never thought I would do this one day, but I've made up my mind now. I want to concentrate on doing sculpture in clay and plaster. This is a great challenge for me, but I need the time. So I have decided to go slow on the photography. I'm so sorry about this. I must say a BIG thank you to all my friends and contacts for all your visits and lovely comments on my site. I would never have thought that I could deserve such comments. I hope that when I can, I will put up a few, but it won't be ever…

This was 6 months of very hard work to do a portrait of my son. I learnt a lot through doing it and hope to carry on working in this way. The challenge was extroadinary!

I lost my mother and have to be able to accept the situation now. I will be putting up photos when I can! It is a difficult period of my life!

I will be exhibiting one of my photos for the first time ever in the Netherlands with 43 other photographers from all over the world. They will be exhibited all September and October in a museum in Harderwijk. If anyone can visit it, please do, as it is a great collection of photographs. I will put up the one I selected for it, so that you have an idea! Must say I'm thrilled with the idea and will try to visit myself at the end of October. The opening is on the 30th of August and seven photograp…

Christine Valin pro says: Why do we take photographs? Everyone for a different reason. Is it a passion? Or do you have the bug?
