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.

16 May 2021: The latest figures on the coronavirus pandemic released by the public health institute show a continuation of the positive trend set over the past couple of weeks. The number of hospitalisations and deaths of people with COVID-19 continue to fall as does the number of people testing positive for the virus. There are currently 1,918 COVID-19 patients being cared for in hospitals, a fall of 17% on a week ago. Of these 643 (-12%) are on intensive care wards. During the week from 6to 12 May an average of 2,633 people tested positive for coronavirus each day. This is down 11% on the average for the previous week.  Of the people tested, 6.1% were diagnosed positive, a fall of 0.8 percentage points on the previous week. Although an improvement this is still over the 5% positivity rate threshold above which the WHO considers an epidemic to be “giving cause for concern”. The reproduction rate stands at 0.89. Yesterday it was announced that we most likely will get a third dose of the coronavirus vaccine at the end of the year. It is still to be decided whether everyone will be offered a booster jab or if it only will be for the at-risk groups. Studies are still being carried out. Despite the encouraging figures I’m still holding my breath when I’m looking at the hustle and bustle in the historical city center of Ghent. Today’s picture shows people enjoying the re-opened outdoor hospitality late yesterday afternoon – 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!
