Hold on folks… I’m updating my WordPress software and my MySQL database. Expect a few hiccups while I do this.
I am so ashamed of myself. It’s the end of February and I have hardly touched my camera this year. A lack of time? A lack of inspiration? Don’t know… A lack of motivation. That’s for sure.
I made a fresh start today and joined my friends of Apertura for the monthly shoot. Jurgen go us in at the old papermill of Herisem: a very nice location. Unfortunately, the weather did not allow us to shoot outside. And technical problems made my shoot a bit troublesome. But I did manage to get a few nice shots.
Thank you for organizing the shoot and taking such good care of us Jurgen! And thank you Caroline, Eline and Ine for being so patient with me.
I attended Points of View, organized by CvB and FgA, tonight: an chance for photographers to show their work to a larger audience. 3 ladies presented their work: Karina Brys, Sanne Weckx and Janna Beck. They were supposed to give us a new fresh point of view on photography. They did! But to some it was either too technically imperfect or too gloomy. I know everybody is entitled to his/her opinion and one can not argue about taste. But one has to know how to express his/her point of view without having to resort to hurtfull remarks about photos that belong on toilet paper.
For what it’s worth, my point of view: let art be art. Art can be pretty, but doesn’t always have to be. Art always has to trigger an emotion. Respect the work of the maker, respect his/her opinion. Listen closely… You might learn something.
And BTW: Sanne, I loved your work!

Myself
I always seem to look goofy or very angry on photos. Talking to some friends at a party, I came up with a good idea for a little contest: make me look good on a photo…
These are the rules:
(1) Your photo has to be recent. i.e. has to be made after october 2008;
(2) My face has to be recognizable;
(3) You may not alter the photo using Photoshop or the likes;
(4) The contest ends on october 1st, 2009.
Send your photos to me by mail. I will be the sole judge in this little contest. Maybe I’ll ask my sisters for their opinion too. The winner will be treated to a bottle of champagne. If there is a photo I like of course.
Your photo should make me look better than in these 2…

2009 is just a couple of hours old and I’ve done my 1st good deed: I took a young girl home that was hitch hiking home after a new year’s eve party. I even did a little detour to make sure that she was getting where she needed to be. I wonder if I will be rewarded for my good deeds this year?
