It’s final: I’ve stopped uploading wallpapers in the classic 4:3 format. From now on I’ll only be uploading 16:10 (widescreen) wallpapers and because it saves a lot of time not doing them in 2 formats I’ll be compensating that by uploading simply more of them . That’s why I’ve just finished 11 widescreen wallpapers (in hi-res ofcourse) from Saturdays’ Sensation White.
Have fun and let me know if you have any requests from any of the other photo’s in this set.
Images from the Sensation 2009 party “Wicked Wonderland” in the Amsterdam ArenA with: Erick E, Fedde le Grand, S. Ingrosso, Mr. White and Sander van Doorn.

One of the best Sensation Black editions so far! Wild music, good crowd and again an insane show with perfect lighting. I got soaked, I almost broke my chest and I will be deaf for another few days even while wearing custom made ear-protection. This was one good party to photograph! Again, wallpapers later this week.
Hooray, my 50th post since my new website went online this January! And a special one as well: a 360 degree panorama (Quicktime VR or QTVR) taken from the centre of the stage. Because of all the shows with water (you can see the reflection on the black catwalk) I was only able to do it very late at night when they had a non-water bit which was long enough for me to take the necessary images (a lot). The light coming through the roof spoils it a little bit but it still gives you a nice idea.
Images from Saturdays 2008 edition of Sensation White with Chuckie, Laidback Luke, Marco V, MC Gee, Tocadisco, Fedde le Gand and Felix da Housecat. I was stuck on the roof for two hours (thank you liftlady, NOT!) photographing everything from 60 meters above, therefore I missed two DJ’s.
Sensation Wallpapers 2008 coming later this week (sorry, it’s extremely busy).
Now that’s nice for a change: as resident photographer for the AIDS/HIV awareness organization Dance4Life I was asked to photograph their show during the half-time of the season’s last soccer game in the Amsterdam Arena between Ajax and Heracles.
Not being a great soccer fan (22 spoiled athletes running after a ball is not really my cup of tea) it was nice being in the largest and fully packed stadium in the Netherlands. Great to see the action from so close-up.
The Dance4Life event was nice but sadly missed getting the public’s attention even though they had the Partysquad performing with them. Anyway, I thought it was a nice show and any awareness and attention they can raise is good. ABNAMRO, Ajax’s sponsor even gave their shirt logo’s away for them, cool gesture! [Update: the audience negative reaction was due to the fact that the Partysquad accidentally played the song that is used by rival PSV when they score... oops!!!]
Funny thing, while shooting on the field during the performance it was a shock to see how really bad the grass is in this place. It has been talked about a lot but now I understand why they want to change to Astroturf! They’ve managed to spend €4.000.000 on it since using in ten years ago. Ouch!
