This blog is about life as it unfolds around me. What I’m seeing, hearing or reading is sometimes beautiful, surreal, ugly, paradoxical and complex. It’s a little bit of everything and a little bit of nothing but I hope it’s unique in its own right.

11 March 2021: On average in the week to 7 March 2358 people tested positive each day. The number is down 1% on the week. If you take a helicopter view, 12 months after the WHO declared the coronavirus a pandemic, the situation is more or less stable in Belgium. But stable does not mean less difficult. The virus is still out there, is as dangerous as at the beginning and the number of infections and hospitalizations is still way too high. Also, although the rules in our country are more relaxed than in other countries, they are still far reaching. We’re still pressing the slow-motion button on our lives. The good news is that although the vaccination campaign has been muddling on for weeks now, yesterday, the millionth coronavirus vaccine was administered in our country and the government promised that all people over 65 years old in Flanders will receive their first jab by the end of April. They also announced that vaccinations for people with underlying conditions will start on 2 April. Does this mean that students will be able to leave the chalk circles on the St Peter’s Square and that we all will be able to have a drink together on a terrace downtown Ghent as of May? The future will tell but let’s hope for the best – St Peter’s Square, Ghent, Belgium.

    About Me

    I just like to take pictures, I just push the button. I never worked in the darkroom, I never studied photography or journalism; I’m just a passionate photographer.

    ​For a long time I used to take pictures - like so many of us - to capture memories of family holidays and events. Over time I’ve found that experiences are deepened and one notices things more intensely by thinking visually. I came to enjoy the quality of light, amazing reflections, geometrical forms and colours. Ever since, I have been determined to take my skills to the next level. I also want to share my work with a much larger audience, because I truly believe that the only way to keep feeding one’s inspiration, creativity, and ultimately getting better at what one is passionate about, is to invite others to critique my work. 




    "Success is the ability to go from failure to failure, without a loss of enthusiasm” 
    Sir Winston Churchill
    Therefore, I Am A Believer Of  "All Critiques Are Valid". Thank You!
