On this 9th before Christmas, Paul McCartney threated me to an excellent rock’n’roll show. Can’t decide what my favorite song was tonight. So you get them both.
Bono once said about this song: “Charles Manson stole this song from the Beatles. We’re stealing it back!” This is Helter Skelter.
And I have always loved Let It Be. Always reminds me of my grandmother. She was just as wise as Mary.
We must be getting close to Christmas. The radio is playin’ those same 20 joyfull songs over and over again. Some I actually like, but most are just too corny.
And everybody gets those obnoxious Christmas lights out. There is that many lights out now that I almost missed those 2 beautiful shooting stars the other day. I don’t think they were pointing me to the Promissed Land, but it was way more spectacular that what I see on the streets these days. Wondering if my wishes will come true though.
This morning, there was a truck driver that put on some extra lights in the spirit of Christmas. Or maybe he was unhappy that I was overtaking one of his colleagues at the maximum allowed speed while he wanted to go faster, and flashed his lights at me. Anyway, it gave me such a warm fuzy feeling inside. So I flashed mine back at him. Did you red lights work great with white? Trucker driver must have liked it too, ’cause he played a little tune on his horn and even danced with me for a while.
It’s another 10 days ’till Christmas… Maybe there is still enough time to get it right.
But I’m not complaning. ‘Cause I’m happy with those few people out there that care about me and love me. You know who you are… And you’re getting the most precious gift I have to offer: a place in my heart and a warm welcome to my home any time you like.
… a day which will live in infamy. Today marks the 68th anniversary of the attack on Pearl Harbor. The US Navy and the US National Park Services host a memorial service on this day to remember the attack.

Got goose bumps from this girl’s performance last night at the 013 in Tilburg.
ABC launches a remake of V–a very popular cult series way back in the 80’s–tonight.
The original series was the inspiration for my original logo and the name of this site.
Fooled around in the studio today with my colleagues of Apertura. The 1st time in a long time I shot in the studio again. The 1st time since I have my new Canon EOS 7D camera. And here’s a couple of images of that shoot.
And of course, I had to try the movie capabilities of my new body. This is my 1st effort at doin’ a behind-the-scenes video: Stephanie and Glenn in action.
Thanks to Stephanie for modeling and being very patient with me. Thanks to Babs for doin the makeup. And to my colleagues Glenn and Jurgen for their assistance.

Belgium Digital is the biggest forum for photography in Belgium. Today, they had a big birthday party to celebrate their 10th anniversary. They gathered in San Marco Village just outside of Antwerp for a day filled with workshops and entertainment.
A great day to meet friends and acquaintances. A great day to brush up on some photographic techniques and to be inspired by colleagues.
The nice thing about these events and workshops, is that it gives everyone a chance to experiment. And sometimes all you need is 2 minutes to shoot something that has a potential to become exciting.
Starting today, I’ve got a week of from work. Got lots of plans for the week: lots of things that involve a camera.
Today, I was at the beach all afternoon: trying to shoot some action shots at the international Kite Festival in Knokke. It was a nice sunny day, but just not enough wind I guess. ’cause I didn’t get to see too much action. Expect for a couple of guys tryin’ some tricks on a mountain board.
And this young lady caught my eye. The scene made me think of a sunny winter afternoon even though today was nice and sunny.
I have been foolin’ around a lot with web design and development these last few months. Actually: it took a lot of my time. And one of the things I’ve been working on is a website tailored to the display size of Apple’s iPhone.
Designing for a resolution of 480 x 320 pixels can be quite intriguing. How does one create an attractive website that is fast, small in size, easy to use and still holds all the information one would want to on such a small display? As usual, the internet is the best source of information and inspiration. It took some research: I went to some reading material on designing for handhelds and select Highslide to power my portfolio page. Then I went to work…
It took a couple of days to design and code the site. But it is done! I’ve just released my iPhone micro site. And now that it’s done, I actually quite proud of it.
Euh… You’ll need an iPhone or an iPod Touch to view it… Obviously!
