The Courage to Believe?

We’ve being doing this word dance
together for some time I know.
We’ve treating love like a battlefield
and taking it slow.

Will you blink?
What do you think.
The union we propose
Is dangerous I know.

‘Cause love is a game until it’s played
And if it’s lost, it can’t ever be saved.
We have heaven to gain and hell to lose
And the difference is up to me and you.
So if you will, I will stop saying I won’t
And start saying I do. I do.

Life can take a long time
If you make the wrong choice.
But time sure seems to fly by
When I hear your voice.

The stakes are high,
How we will find
The courage to believe?
We will succeed.

‘Cause love is a game until it’s played
And if it’s lost, it can’t ever be saved.
We have heaven to gain and hell to lose
And the difference is up to me and you.
So if you will, I will stop saying I won’t
And start saying I do.

Well our hearts are locked inside an iron box.
We’re both too afraid to reveal our most tender parts, oh.

‘Cause love is a game until it’s played
And if it’s lost, it can’t ever be saved.
We have heaven to win and hell to lose
And the difference is up to me and you.

So if you will, I will stop saying I won’t.
Stop saying I can’t.
Is that what you said?
Cause if you did, I do. I do.

If you want me to.
I do.
If you want me to.
If you want me to.
If you want me to.
If you want me to.
I will try, I will try, I will try.

Indepence Day

Well Papa go to bed now it’s getting late
Nothing we can say can change anything now
Because there’s just different people coming down here now
and they see things in different ways
And soon everything we’ve known will just be swept awaySo say goodbye it’s Independence Day
Papa now I know the things you wanted that you could not say
But won’t you just say goodbye it’s Independence Day
I swear I never meant to take those things away

Hana and her Little Doll

My friend Hana works at De Poppenzaal in Turnhout. She made a little doll for the cultuurmarkt in Antwerp and Turnhout. I couldn’t go and see in Antwerp, ’cause I had a photoshoot that day. But PhotoVaganza or no PhotoVaganza: I could not refuse to go and see her in my own backyard.

Hana introduced me to her little doll and I shot a couple of images of the both of them.

That little girl is just soooooo cute!

PhotoVaganza

Just got back from the 2nd edition of my own PhotoVaganza. We had a blast: a lot of happy people, a lot of action goin’ on… great meeting! Thanks everyone. Hope to see you all again at the next one.

I did a lot of talking, a bit of working and managed to fool around with my sisters for just a little bit. Just enough for a couple of nice shots.

To start off: a portrait of Mariana…

And a slightly naughty pic of Eef…

Thanks girls!

Before-and-After Challenge

Joeri el Hazimi passed a photo challenge down to me: pick 3 of your photos and post them in the original version and the retouched version. Then pass on the challenge to 3 other photographers. Thomas Bouve came up with this brilliant idea. And you know me… I find it hard to refuse a challenge like that.

Before showing my 3 photos, I would like to pass the challenge down to:

And now… Without further a due… Here are mine…

Website Theme Update

Finally got around to updating this website’s theme. It was long overdue. And it only took me a couple of hours. Pffff… another short night.

Vintage Logo

vintagelogoI came across the very 1st version of my logo today. The design is almost 25 years old. I made it with a Commodore 64 and colored it by hand. The logo was inspired by the ’80s cult series “V“.

This copy was almost faded away. I had to digital enhance the silly thing.

Miss Fashion (2)

We invaded the little beach at the Lommelse Sahara today for another shoot with the Miss Fashion 2009 finalists. Tents, flashes, camera’s… we turned it into a regular d-day. At the end of the day, 6 photographers were flashing away at the edge of the water. It looked like a nasty thunderstorm.

It resulted in a few good shots; at least for me…
