Thanks for looking. Comments or critiques always appreciated and

welcome!

Around 40 years I grew up with music from Dean Martin / the Rat-Pack, because my parents loved the music...

Around 30 years ago I saw a live concert from Elvis in Las Vegas and I loved it...

Around 15 years ago I saw on television Barbra Streisands privat concert "One Voice" recorded in her backyard. I didn't know her, didn't know her music but I was totally impressed...it touched my soul so deeply...!

So for the last 15 years I told everybody:

If I could make a wish I would have loved it to go to a life concert from Dean Martin,Elvis or Barbra Streisand! Dean Martin, well...we all know how that ended up...died a couple of years ago! Elvis...well...died almost 30 years ago!

Barbra Streisand...well...she's still alive -64 at age...but hardly gives concerts and if she does, there are no tickets availeble for a dutch girl and even if, they were to expensiv and way to far away!

So wishes are a great thing to have even if they don't of never come true...!

November 2006...

My husband surprised me with a vacation to Las Vegas...hotel on the Strip...with tickets for a LIFE CONCERT OF BARBRA STREISAND and Celin Dion!!!

I've been to a lot of concerts the last 25 years in Holland - Tina Turner/Bruce Springsteen/The Stones/UB40/Billy Joel/Madonna/Jackson/Tom Jones/Whitney Houston etc.etc.etc. not that I love all their music but just to be part of the crawd, to laugh and to party! But Barbra!...what can I say more...!! I'm sooo very happy!! So dreams do come true sometimes!!!!!

On november 16 I will travel on my own to see, feel, smell and discover Las Vegas/Sin City for 9 days and 7 nights!

I can't wait to see Barbra's concert, to make thousands of photographs in Vegas, to observe the other visiters/people, to see the gambling people and their behaviour...to see the look in their eyes!!

I love a laugh, I love people, I love nature...damn...I love life!! Let the dream begin... :0)

Ps. for my PN friends; if you have a good tip/advice for my trip to Las Vegas like: don't forget to see this or that...please feel free and do, they're welcome and mostly appreciated...

And although I'm not active on PN for the last couple of months...just wanted to share this dream of mine... :0)

With love, Janet

I live just an one hour drive from Amsterdam!

If I would have known that you were there I would have

loved to drink a coffee with you and your familie... :0)

I would have given your a privat tour...

Please let me know when your visit Amsterdam again!

I totally agree...smile...

Perfect shot technically, and damn what a beautiful and orginal idea!

*having a vacation on the caribean and couldn't resist to enter an internetcafe and to have a quick look on PN. Would love to comment on the other two excellent shots but didn't bring my diary, without that i'm lost! As soon as I get home, I'll be back*

One could comment on a couple of little things but why waste words. This is simply a very, very beautiful photograph! I love your technical skils and that special "thing" that you have! I think that you have the gift that what you "see" in your head, that you can translate that into your photos on an almost perfect way. That's something special...you are really very talented!
