13 October 2020: Update on The Corona Pandemic – Once again, the figures show yet another sharp rise in the number of people testing positive for the virus and in the number of those becoming so ill that they require hospital treatment. At this rate there will be days this week that we have more than 10,000 infections. Those in their twenties are still the largest group but we are increasingly seeing a shift towards older people. As a consequence, we’re seeing a doubling in the number of hospital admissions every 10 days. Facing mounting figures across the country, and the news that Belgium is currently the second-worst country in Europe for the number of infections per 100,000 habitants, lockdowns and how to hopefully avoid them appear to be the talk of the week. Like almost one million of fellow countrymen I’ve downloaded the “Coronalert App”. The App stores anonymous information with whom you have been in physical contact with. As soon as a doctor writes a prescription for a coronavirus test the app generates a code that is linked to the test results. If your test is positive you receive notification in the app and the App sends a message to everyone that you have been in close contact with. Knowing that I’ll be warned if I’ve been exposed to SARS-CoV-2 I continue with my corona walks. On display today is “De Achtersikkel”. I was graced by a violin solo by students of Ghent’s music academy whilst I was taking the picture late last week. I found it hard to believe that we’re in the midst of an unprecedented crisis whilst I was enjoying this oasis of peace near the Saint Bavo’s Cathedral downtown Ghent – Biezekapelstraat, 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!
