Last Sunday of month… Apertura SD! The gang landed at Domein Teunenberg for a day of shooting and fun. Did you know you can fit 10 models in the trunk of an Opel Zafira?
Bruce was in town tonight. And I felt like an out of tune guitar. It used to be that I owned the floor at the Antwerp Sportpaleis when Bruce played there. Tonight, I could barely hold my own. I died a couple of times tonight: The Ties that Bind, Mary’s Place, Trapped and Point Blank… Killer songs. I stood in the center of the storm and survived.
And quite honestly, it is one of the best Springsteen shows I’ve seen. They played bunch of songs that were a first for me. Live that is. I am just a prisoner of rock’n’roll. And Bruce Springsteen and the E-Street Band IS rock’n’roll.
Thank you Bruce! Thank you Luc for standing by my side (again). And my dear sisters: thank you for makin’ me go to see the show.

But maybe everything that dies someday comes back”
Boss, I believe!
Summer only really starts when the airshow season starts. Every year around this time of year, we pitch our tent an airfield of the Dutch Air Force. We stash it with camera’s, lenses, food & drinks and a laptop.
If we’re lucky, we to shoot a couple of high speed birds. If not, we just have a relaxing day in the sun…
We try to confuse eachother where ever we can. As if these times aren’t confusing enough as they are. Came across this road sign on my way home today. “Left or right for Antwerp, Honey?” “I don’t care sweetheart, you choose!”
3 times is a charm! I have entered in my photo club’s (DIFO Oud-Turnhout) photo challenge for the 3rd time this year. And for the 3rd year in a row I have won a price. I finished 2nd this year in the category color photo. I actually did quite well: 4 photos in the top 20 in color photo and 5th place in black & white.
The jury said my work was different and modern. They encouraged met to keep up the good work; quite an ego boost.
This is the winning (2nd place that is) photograph…
Thank you Evara for posing. And thank you Bart for access to this beautiful location. I owe you both a drink!
And I want to tell you
Why would I try to
You are all I can see now
I know I’ll try to
I have to learn, have to try, have to trust I have to cry
I have to see, have to know that I can be myself

For a long time, I had this crazy idea of shooting in my Bathroom. I know… It’s been done before. And it will be done again. But since I knew it was going to be a challenge to properly light the scene, I wanted to try it myself.
Finding a model wasn’t difficult at all. Mariana, one of my favorite models, was kind enough to work with me on this shoot. It turned out to be not as easy as it looks. Lighting was difficult, finding poses that work too. There is certainly room for improment, but we were both pleased with the result tough.
Once again: thank you Mariana for your patience and your cooperation! You’re the best!
