The marketing services of the moon have done a great job: everywhere you could read and hear about the superbloodmoon that showed very early this morning. And it is a very special event, if you didn’t see it today, your next chance will be in 2029. I witnessed part of it, from the last part […]

Earlier this week there was a lot of wind, clouds were racing across the sky. So an ideal moment for some more experiments with long exposures… Eddy

Last week we went to the Lake District (England). And all the clichés were present: lakes, hills, clouds, rain and sheep. 🙂 And the weather was, from a photographic point of view, fantastic… The sun and the clouds produced a beautifull patchwork of light and dark on the hills… BTW: the first two pictures are from […]

When you think of Tirol (Austria), the image of The Sound of Music will probably come to your mind. And that was indeed the setting of our vacation last week. 🙂 The physical level was lower than what I was used to the previous years, due to circumstances. But even in this ‘light’ version, the […]

On our way to Austria, we made a stop in Ludwigsburg (Germany). I never heared of this city before, but thanks to Google Maps and Booking.com it seemed an interesting place to stay on our way to our vacation. And it really is a nice place: an old, pleasing city, with a large market place […]

Headlights might seem a strange subject, but actually these headlights are part of a performance from the ‘Summer of Antwerp’: the Giants. Grandma Giant arrived earlier this week, but is still in bed. Behind her bed is a wall of headlights, which are really pretty to photograph… Eddy

There was a huge fight in my neighbourhood this WE. Both on Saturday and Sunday: ‘De Quaeye Werelt’. That is a re-enactment of a battle in 1477. And it’s something really interesting to photograph, to witness. The amount of work that those people put in their costumes, amazing. Only one guy wasn’t really historically correct: he […]

This WE there is once again a ‘rose fest’ in a public parc nearby. Today I went there for a ‘sneak preview’. But most of the roses didn’t have flowers yet… I hope this will be different by Sunday. Eddy PS: the images from last year are here.  

I didn’t only make pictures of the dress rehearsal of The Prince, the Swan and the Lake, I was also asked to make pictures backstage, just before the actual performance, when all dancers got their make-up, when everybody was getting ready for the show. Eddy PS: for the photographers reading this post: all pictures were […]

Last WE I made some pictures of the ‘dress rehearsal’ of a dancing school’s event (‘The Prince, the Swan and the Lake), by special request. And of course the setting of such an event is really pretty… Eddy

Black swans are rare. So if one appears somewhere, it will probably appear in the local press. And that’s how I found out about a black swan in the park close to my home, the ‘Rivierenhof’. And the swan even got a nickname: Black Liza. On the way back from the park, we encountered more […]

On our way back from Paris, we had to change trains in Brussels-Midi. While waiting, I noticed a shoe on the tracks. A white shoe. Why was it there? Did somebody throw a shoe of one of his friends on the tracks, as a joke? Did somebody try to cross the tracks and lost one of […]

Paris, the city of light. It was a long time since I visited Paris. And yes, there were a lot of lights. In all kind of places, even in people’s eyes. 🙂 Eddy

Spring has arrived, that was clear during my visit to Floralia Brussels… Eddy  

Last WE there was a new edition of City of Wings Ypres, a festival for street theatre. Eddy  

Last week I was in San Francisco, for my job. The first day I had some time off, to take a walk into the city. The first two pictures are interesting: they show how a slight change in perspective (a few meters), can completely change the contents, the perspective… Eddy  

The city pavilion in Ghent has proponents and had opponents: there has been a big discussion whether this fits into the historic center of Ghent. Last WE I made some pictures, by special request, trying to visualise the beauty of the building… Eddy  

During my trip last week, I didn’t see much more than the conference hotel. But sometimes the view from a hotel room can be nice. And if you look very careful, in the fourth picture, right bottom, you can see the reflection of the Rocky Mountains… 🙂 Eddy
