20 May 2020 Update from A Semi-Locked Down Ghent

20/5/2020

29 new deaths, 50 patients hospitalized, and 279 new infections diagnosed according to the figures announced yesterday. The trend of new infections is still decreasing, by about 7% per day. What struck me most in yesterday’s news was that Belgium’s anti-poison centre has noted a surge in calls since the start of the corona emergency. A couple of weeks ago US President Trump suggested injecting bleach may be a great idea. The ramifications of his words have also been felt in Belgium. Belgians haven’t been injecting bleach, but for sure they have been experimenting with it. I guess you cannot fix stupid with duct tape… Today’s picture is a vignette of downtown Ghent. Stay safe, stay healthy – St Michael’s Bridge, 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!

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.
