4 April 2020 Update From A Locked Down Ghent

4/4/2020

The government announced yesterday that total number of people admitted to hospital reached 5,552. This is an increase of 578 patients in one day. The figure seems to be stabilising, as the number fluctuates over the last couple of days between 500 and 600 new cases! It’s still high, but it is a good sign that it does not seem to be increasing. Are we reaching a peak or a plateau? Yesterday’s biggest news was the announcement that Belgium is considering a way to gradually ease the country out of lockdown in the weeks to come. This has been the first discussion of its kind since we have been in lock down modus. There is hope! Today’s picture is a mural from yesterday’s corona walk. The mural from Super A, the alter ego of the Dutch street artist Stefan Thelen, is called “the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse”. A sign of the times… Australiëstraat, 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.
