Luc Steven Geerling, May 23rd 2010…
A three-day visit to an island which is ten hours by plane and a couple hours in jetlag. Crazy? Not really, considering I was there to photograph the famous Caribbean Carnaval on the tiny Dutch Antilles island of Aruba. It’s the second-largest carnaval celebration in the whole caribbean and famous for its laid-back atmosphere and accessibility.
And boy was it worth the trip! Two days of sunny and happy people parading the streets of both major towns on the island: the very easy-goinh parade on Saturday in San-Nicolas and the massive and crowded Sunday main event in Oranjestad. Hours and hours of incredibly colorful people and costumes. I don’t think I’ve seen so many feathers. I guess the images speak for themselves, please enjoy and make sure you’re in the neighborhood next year!

As always, I’m available to photograph Dance4Life in the Netherlands.This years third edition was no different. Tons of happy kids, lots of good artists and, most importantly: over €600.000 collected for various AIDS/HIV projects for children in Africa!
This year, 50,000 young people worldwide have taken a stand against HIV and AIDS. Today, these young people from 19 different countries were united live by satellite during the Dance4Life Event. Together they danced to the same rhythm, dancing against AIDS and in support of life!

Just had to upload this one:
Why won’t it fly?
Taken last week at a new Unox Event (check their brilliant Newyears dive here) the Dutch Kiting Day, which was plagued by torrential rains and typically Holland weather, for fall not high summer! Anyway, I was pleased to see so many kids and parents show up and between the downpoors and it was tons of fun photogrpahing the kids. There can hardly be any better subjects in the world!
The patient dad from heaven.
Ground kite and kid color combo.
Launching kite mayhem.
