Hi there.

A few minutes ago I was busy retouching a Photo in photoshop. Through my work we contracted a photographer to make some picture of a model. However the photo needed to be edited here and there.

While I was working on it I found this tutorial. It’s a very simple yet easy to do tutorial. You might wanna give it a try.

Depending on the picture it may also be wise to look at the Photoshop Liquify filter. You can easily make models a bit more attractive with that. However watch out you won’t overdo it.

Well today we finally got an Internet connection! However we’re on the network of our neighbour below. Because some screw up of a company which got an award for delivering the best Internet in Holland fucked up our connection some how. We just can’t get connected in any way. Arghh!

Anyways got internet now, except for the PS3. So I finally can up the damn pics tonight! You can see them right below this little line of nonsense. By the way don’t look at the pic qaulity cause it’s crappy.

[edit] Sorry had to delete the pics for now to get some more diskspace[/edit]

After we got the keys we worked for 4 days. From 9 in the morning till 23:00 in the evening. We painted all the walls by now and are busy with the doors and stuff. Tomorrow we will complete this task and finish all the painting except for the doors which we will paint at some later point.

In the meanwhile my girlfriends dad made a lot of furniture for us and he’s busy with our kitchen at the moment. This is also near completion.

Tomorrow at 7 o Clock we will begin to lay down the floors in the bedroom and living room. Kinda hope this will be finished tomorrow around 2300.

Man still got a lot to tell, but don’t have the time right now and my mind isn’t quite up to it! To much to think about and to much I don’t want to think about.

Well speak to you guys soon!

Yesterday, 3-7-2008, I finally got the keys of my new apartment. At 11 o Clock me and my girlfriend drove of towards our newly build apartment.

Our contractor was already waiting for us. Just a few minutes of waiting for my girlfriends parents and then we started of. After one hour we we’re finished going through all the rooms of the apartment. We didn’t found anything we needed to fix.

Yesterday I uploaded a bunch of new Photo’s on my Stock Exchange account. The most of them got added today.

If you’d like to see them, please visit my SXC account through www.sxc.hu/profile/xaio
If you’d like the photo’s out there it would be nice if you let me know that via a comment or some sort.

Hi there! Welcome to my Personal website.
Finally decided to start up a blog kind of a website. After a few design sites I made for myself, I just didn’t get the right feeling about it. I wanted to share my experiences and stuff through my website, however the design didn’t let me. After a few attempts to program my own blog I decided to download Word Press. Why? Everything I wanted for my website, Word Press delivers!

GERBEN VAN ERKELENS dot COM isn’t solely about the person Gerben van Erkelens. You will find here all sorts of interesting info about Design, Photography and anything I will come across.

At the mean time the design of this website isn’t the best one I see, however this will change in time, so don’t push me around over that.
