23 April 2020 Update from A Locked Down Ghent

23/4/2020

A further 266 deaths from COVID-19 have been reported yesterday. This brings the total number of deaths from the virus to 6,262. Just over half of COVID-19 deaths in Belgium have been in care homes. 263 new COVID-19 patients were admited to hospital for treatment. Meanwhile, 432 COVID-19 patients were discharged from hospital. There are currently 4,765 people receiving treatment for COVID-19 in Belgian hospitals. This is down around 20% on the peak of 6,012 patients that was recorded on 6 April. Yesterday’s biggest news were talks about the partially reopening of the schools as of 15 May and the proposal from the experts to relax the corona measure that leaked in advance of the government’s address next Friday. If the government follows the experts’ proposals a number of types of shop could reopen as early as 4 May, if certain conditions are met. Under the proposals visits to family and close friends could once again become possible. Groups would be limited to ten people tops and you would always have to visit the same people. Too me it seems that the latter is impossible to manage and/or control and therefore will create a lot of controversy. I guess we will need to wait until Friday to know more.

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”

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.
