Mi Dushi
① memo 20160603 ~ Mi Dushi ~ Diving 10 years ago at the Mi Dushi (Papiamento for “My Sweetheart”) site at the Klein Bonaire islet at 10-26 meters (30-85 ft) around noon ( you need a lot of sun-light going deep down there for filming some of the colors ) May 23, 2006 , Bonaire Dutch Caribbean. You can hear some air steadily escaping at a leaking O-ring of the gas regulator – not so dushi ! Filming with Sony DSC-T1 camera (no stabilisation).
Filming Upside Down A Moray Eel
① memo 20160531 ~ Filming Upside Down A Moray Eel ~ I was hanging upside down some 10 meters (30ft) underwater to film this moray eel on the bottom. To keep a safe distance while holding the camera with both hands , I varied the air reserve in my lungs – though breathing can be difficult in that position (audible at the end) because it can prevent normal function of the pressure regulator. (Excessive shake was reduced by slow-motion in post-production using Final Cut Pro X). Filmed 10 years ago using the Sony DSC-T1 – the first ‘credit card style’ digital camera from Sony – near the Tugboat diving site in Caracas Bay , Caribbean Sea, Curaçao (Netherlands), May 2006.

Raging Fire | 20140915 | 1-memo•com | Heerenlogement building in Leiden, Sept 15, 1976.
In the early hours of Sept 15, 1976 the historic Heerenlogement buidling (1652 – Leiden , Holland) was on fire. I was living nearby then at the bottom of the ‘De Burcht’ (a 11th century shell keep). After midnight I was listening to music via headphones when I noticed the sound of the raging flames. I took my Asahi Pentax SLR camera and tripod and went up the hill of De Burcht to take pictures around 1.30 AM.
Image Michel van der Burg – scan of vintage print on silk-screened – grid – photo paper, making it difficult to scan and a lot of work to restore the image.

Just before the fire it had been decided to start the restauration of this monument (once a ‘city inn’) as a future location for a new central public library. The attached scaffolding is showing in this picture.
Two weeks later a 17 year-old pyromaniac confessed having set fire to the buiding – he had actually helped that night extinguising the fire and getting coffee for the fire brigade. July 1980 the new public library moved in a the beautifully restaured Heerenlogement building. I – being a ‘poor’ student with a part time evening job – sold some negatives but not the copyright of my images 😉 for 400 dutch guilders (around $200) to the head of that library who planned to have a large print made for the boardroom … and, so I could have a short vacation in Normandie with my future wife and kids 😉 The official opening by queen Beatrix was in 1981.
The image below shows the front page and 1 page inside from the library pamphlet on the opening 11 june 1981.
