The PEN Story

(Just something we found on YouTube..)

Gravity.

You might know Sara Bareilles from the song 'Love song'. And although she didn't want to write a love song, she did write this beautiful song. It's called 'Gravity'. I think everyone recognizes something of him or herself in it. I know I did. And please don't worry, the song has nothing to do with physics. ^^

The rain is falling..

I fell in love with this drawing made by Danny Roberts. We were planning on doing a little article about his art. And you will see that. But for now.. just enjoy this one. I especially like the face of this girl.

Anna McCraney

The last few weeks I've seen several episodes of 'The Fashion Show'. It's more or less like Project Runway or Project Catwalk. Anna McCraney, one of the designers and winner of the show, really caught my eye. She designs and makes beautiful clothes. I just wanted to share it with you. The next photograph is one of her designs from her collection.

And please notice the pretty dress in the background. I fell in love the moment I saw the back of the dress, but couldn't find a picture of it.

You can see her whole winning collection. But look closely, the quality isn't that good! :(

And this is one of the pretty dresses she made during one of the episodes:

What do you think of her designs?

1838

The first photograph taken of a person. In case you didn't notice, there's a little figure getting his shoe cleaned on the street. According to wikipedia, this is the first photograph with a person in it taken in 1838 by Louis Daguerre. The exposure time was about 10 minutes, therefore the moving traffic and other people are invisible. The man in the picture however, stood still.

Our Photography

We want to show you a lot of things. But we'd like to start with something we both love very much. Photography. We've been taking pictures for a few months now. So here are a few of our own photos ^^.

Hope you all like what you see ^^.

We are...

Let's start with a small introduction. We are two friends :) But we've got names as well! We're Karin and Fleur. We both live in The Netherlands and one day Karin had a little weird twist in her mind and e-mailed Fleur, Let's start a Blog! We do that a lot you know (e-mailing! Not making blogs!) and most of the times an e-mail only contains a link to a site we love, or a youtubelink. And now we dicided we want to share it not only with each other, but also with the rest of the world. You guys ^^.



Well, to tell a little bit about ourselves, we met in what most people would call High School. But then a dutch version. Karin is 17 (almost 18!) and Fleur just turned 16. To get to know us better we both answered a few questions ^^.


1. What book are you reading right now?
2. Which sites are opened as well at this moment?
3. What is the last song you have heard?

4. What are you wearing right now?
5. Decribe yourself in one word!
6. What have you always wanted to do?

7. What do you want to do when you finish High School?
8. What are you're hobbies?
9. Which movie is the last one you've seen?
10. Tell whatever you want to tell ^^.

2. Youtube, Wikipedia, DeviantART
3. We are Golden by Mika. Didn't really like the song at first, but it sort of grows on me.
4. I'm wearing jeans and a something between a dress and a long shirt with a lovely blue print. Just got rid of my grey heels, so I'm barefoot right now. :)
5. In one word?! Are you kidding? Well.. I'm me.
6. Be happy I guess. And I think I am :) But I wouldn't mind traveling the world to see and meet other people and cultures.
7. I want to study Biology. And we'll see what else I'm going to do.
8. My hobbies are photographing, reading, drawing and hanging out with friends. :) I also love my laptop and can't live without music.
