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.

26 January 2021 - Yesterday’s figures show a rise in the 7-day rolling averages for hospitalisations and people testing positive for the virus. In the week up to 22 January on average 2,119 people tested positive, that is up 4% on the week. By Saturday 23 January only 189,312 people in Belgium had received their first dose of coronavirus vaccine. This is 2.06% of the adult population. At this pace it will take ages before sufficient people are vaccinated to put the pandemic to bed. Meanwhile, biostaticians are in no doubt that the latest figures show that we are heading for a third wave. They also noteda sharp increase in the number of children under the age of 10 that are testing positive. As a result, complete schools have been closed or individual classes have been quarantined. It has already been decided that secondary schools will switch 100% to distance teaching during the week before half term. However, the growing number of infections in schools have led to calls for all schools to close temporarily as a way of curbing the spread of COVID-19. It’s a grim outlook and for many of us the ongoing corona saga is becoming a bit too much. In the Netherlands we’ve seen riots in at least 10 municipalities others are escaping in the virtual reality of videogames. On display is a picture I took in 2009 at the railway station in Geneva – Geneva, Switzerland.

    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.
