I don’t do photography assignments anymore. I haven’t for a very long time. And I am not about to start again. But when one of my best friends asked if I would wanted to help her out, I answered “YES!” even before I knew what the question was. And that is how I ended up shooting some fashion with my beautiful friend Daria. There’s too many pics to share, so I’m sharing just a few I really liked.
September 2023, after a long hiatus, I’m going to New York City again. I hitched a ride across the Atlantic on a Delta Airlines bird. This Yankees fan fitted right in. Even though I hadn’t been to NYC for quite a few years, I still remembered how to move around the city and most subway stops.
I took in the sights and sounds of the city. Many miles of hiking in Manhattan. The architecture, classic movie locations, a walk down the Highline, … And with major stops at the 9/11 Memorial and Museum, One World Trade Center and Ellis Island.
After all these years, I am still deeply moved by the events of September 11, 2001. Especially when I visit the 9/11 Memorial and Museum. I can’t help but think back on my 1st visit to NYC when I take the elevator up to the 102th floor of One World Tade Center. Back when the Twin Towers still stood tall as a beacon that defined the New York skyline.
I did a little shopping at that famous photography store on 9th ave. The new gear came in handy to shoot this panorama of Brooklyn Bridge and lower Manhattan.
On Sunday, I had a meeting across the river: I took a train to MetLife Stadium in New Jersey… I went to see Springsteen! It was a beautiful night for a 3 hour rock concert. And as it turned out, it would be the last show Springsteen would play in a while due to health problems.
The Belgian Air Force Days are the highlight of the airshow season for me. Especially when the BAF Days come to Kleine Brogel airbase. So there I was, all geared up, all excited and ready for 3 days of air power demonstrations. Starting with the spotter’s day on Friday. It was a Viper and Lightning fest.
And then, on Saturday, as a walked from the parking lot to the gate, I busted my ankle. That was… THE END. No more BAF Days for me. A major bummer.
