Ifhegemeia’s Little Shop of Fetish

Ifhegemeia was on my wishlist since our 1st encounter and Lud and Joy’s PhotokitcheN meeting last year. She wanted to do a fetish shoot with me for a long time. And we finally got around to fixing a date.

The shoot was out of this world. I’ve never made this many photos in a session before: 625 and all of them are great. I’ll have a hard time making a selection.

Thanks girl!!! Let’s do this again very soon.

3 Girls at the Studio

It’s going to be a busy weekend. Just got back from a studio shoot with Inke, Tanja and Tamara. Shot with all 3 girls last year, and they wanted to come back for another shoot.

Got a lot of help from my friend Stefan Vleugels on this shoot. He brought in fresh ideas and a lot of light. Thanks everyone for the shoot! I got a great series of black-n-whites from the shoot.

Tomorrow, I shooting with Ifhegemeia.

Snowboard Shoot with Cathy

I spent the afternoon in the studio again, working on my little pet project. I had Cathy in the studio this time. She is a snowboard addict. I had asked her to bring her board along and we shot some board fashion.

And some swimwear too…

Apple Adept

I finally did it… I bought an Apple MacBook Pro! After years and years of bitchin’ about the other OS, I finally got fed up with all of it. With every software update, something always went wrong on the other laptop. I ended up having to restore the damn thing every 2 months. No more! This shiny laptop is mine…

MacBook Pro
I’ve become an Apple Adept and I like it. Can’t wait for the iPhone to become available in Belgium.

Yesterday

Yesterday,
All my troubles seemed so far away,
Now it looks as though they’re here to stay,
Oh, I believe in yesterday.

Suddenly,
I’m not half the man I used to be,
There’s a shadow hanging over me,
Oh, yesterday came suddenly.

Why she
Had to go I don’t know, she wouldn’t say.
I said,
Something wrong, now I long for yesterday.

Yesterday,
Love was such an easy game to play,
Now I need a place to hide away,
Oh, I believe in yesterday.

Why she
Had to go I don’t know, she wouldn’t say.
I said,
Something wrong, now I long for yesterday.

Yesterday,
Love was such an easy game to play,
Now I need a place to hide away,
Oh, I believe in yesterday.

Tattoo

I waited 6 years and 6 long months for this: I finally got myself a tattoo! I thought long and hard about it the last years. I’ve been certain about what I wanted and where I wanted the tattoo for awhile now. Had to wait 6 months for an appointment, but I have a biohazard sign of about 1.5″ on my left upper arm. Monica at Marc’s Tattoo Studio in Balen tagged me.

Apertura SD at Brepols

Late last year, I joined Apertura. Apertura is a new photo club that specializes in event and model photography. I joined them today for the 1st time for a little shooting day (SD).

One of the Apertura members had arranged access to the abandoned factory of Brepols in Turnhout: wide open halls, lots of grafity, … A very interesting location.

There’s a few more photos in my Brepols album.

Amsterdam

Je kan er boeken kopen die
Je hier heel zelden vindt
Je kan er langs de grachten lopen
Je haar los in de wind
Je kan er uren slijten
De parken zijn er groen
Je kan er naar Van Gogh gaan kijken
Dat zou je eigenlijk wel es moeten doen
Je bent er vogelvrij
Omdat er alles kan
Zo dichtbij
En toch zover
Is Amsterdam

Want daar in Amsterdam
Ben jij zover van mij
Toch voel ik Amsterdam zo pijnlijk dicht nabij

In het concertgebouw
Is het zeer dikwijls feest
Je weet toch nog dat zelfs Randy Newman daar ooit is geweest
Wie van ons vermoedde toen
Dat jij daar nu heel alleen
Een schuilplaats hebt gezocht
We gingen altijd samen heen
Wie van ons is vogelvrij
Wie van ons die nog alles kan
Zo dichtbij
En toch zover
Is Amsterdam

Want daar in Amsterdam
Ben jij zover van mij
Toch voel ik Amsterdam zo pijnlijk dicht nabij

New Year’s Resolution

Around this time of year, everyone is wishing everyone else all the best for the New Year. Good health, success, fame & fortune, peace & happiness. At least for a few days every year, world peace seems to be on everyone’s mind.

I promised myself not to wish everybody well this year. I have only 1 wish: I hope that all your wishes for everyone around the world may come true. ’cause then we would all have what we really want. And that would make me very happy.

Springsteen in Antwerp

I went to see Springsteen‘s show in Antwerp yesterday evening. After having missed his Antwerp show last year due to emotional stress, I was not sure if I wanted to go this time. It took me a lot of courage to go. I did not have as much fun as I usual do at a Springsteen show. But I managed to stay until the end. And that was quite an accomplishment.

And yes… the slogan on my t-shirt was meant for you.
