Amelie.
Allright. For the following post please, while watching my pictures play the music from “Amelie” which can be found here:
Youtube link.
Anyway here the pictures. I tried to go for very warm colours, nice flares and “glow”. The pics are un-edited, apart from the border, and thus came directly from the camera with these colours.
This is where my father works. He’s a math-teacher and here he checks students tests and give them marks. He can be found here quite often.
A quite old Dutch cupboard, this is what people used to have in their kitchen. Meel is flour and eieren means eggs. And there are some other drawyers like sugar, pepper etc etc.
Here the colours are less warmer and also a bit more desaturated. Still I love the sweet soft glow feeling from the 2.8 lens.
An oldfashion latern that can contain a candle, now it doesn’t haha. Quite desaturated and for the real Amelie feeling it should be warmer, but still I like it this way… it’s “broken” so this gives a bit more the less-happy attitude.
My parents bedroom again… I love the decorations on their bed. It’s also quite old… fits the old French atmosphere completely. Not too happy about it’s colours but hey as I said: no editing!
That was it for now! Ta!

Dear Steve,
It’s just beautiful and heartwarming.
I listened to the song while looking at the pictures, like you asked.
Can’t explain why, but tears ran over my cheeks and I didn’t notice it till I stopped the music and stopped watching your photo’s.
It’s like you can read people’s minds and see what they need.
You are just amazing.
