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.

29 May 2020 Update from A Semi-Locked Down Ghent

Yesterday’s figures reported 31 new deaths and 47 patients that have been hospitalised. The downward trend continues, however, the number of new infections was described as high. 257 people were told they were corona positive on Wednesday. Let’s hope this is the result of more testing and not an early sign that the country started relaxing the lockdown measures way too early. Interesting in yesterday’s news was that, Maggie De Block, the health minister, conceded that scientists, the WHO, the European Commission and politicians including herself underestimated the virus. She admitted that criteria people initially had to meet in order to qualify for a corona test now appear too strict, strategic reserves of equipment and drugs were not sufficient and that the government never invested much in preventative health care and contact tracing. Also comparing COVID-19 to a heavy bout of flu was a big mistake she confessed. I guess it takes a good crisis before you have all your ducks in a row. Things have been busy the last couple of days and my daily corona walks haven’t been all that high on my radar, therefore, I decided to post a picture that I took a couple of years ago – Klein Begijnhof, 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.
