18 February 2021: For many people respecting the social distancing rules is becoming a challenge…

18 February 2021: In the week to 14 February on average 1791 people tested positive each day in Belgium. The figure is down 17% on the week. In the same period 119 patients with Covid were hospitalised and 38 fatalities a day were linked to Covid. The figures are down respectively 10% and 7% on the week. As Belgium’s coronavirus infection and hospitalisation figures are decreasing and the vaccination campaign is slowly but surely picking up steam, conversation have turned to which measures could be relaxed next, and when. Experts, however, remain very cautious about possible relaxations in the near future. They want the figures to decrease further before they are willing to recommend any form of deconfinement and even than they stress that it is going to be key that measures are lifted in a gradual manner. I’m wondering what the Belgium government will decide when they meet again on Friday, 26 February to discuss the roadmap for the next phases of the pandemic. In the meantime, I continue to focus on documenting daily life or what draws my attention during my daily corona walks in my hometown. On display today are students hanging out on the St. Peter's Square, located in student neighborhood. The image that I shot late yesterday afternoon suggests that more and more people are fed up with the lockdown and are not respecting social distancing. Now that spring is knocking at the door it’s going to become harder to drive compliance to the measures that were put in place to curb the spread of the virus – 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.
