I put some images online from a visit to Abbaye-de-Villers. An old abbey in the south of Belgium. I put it in the varia gallery:

I also was a festival photographer for the Dranouter folk festival. A lot of nice groups and a great athmospere. I took a lot of foto’s that weekend but put only a small selection of them online.
Unfortunately the weather Gods were not that friendly and the last day it was raining so hard that a lot of us got stuck in the mud while trying to get home from the farmer fields that they turned into temporary press parkings. Not a fun 45 minutes...

This year I was festival photographer for Dranouter aan Zee.
Dranouter is a folkfestival with internation allure, it features some great names from domestic as well as foreign artists. It is the little brother of the original Dranouter festival in... Dranouter.
This year Marianne Faithful chose Dranouter to be the first show of her new European Tour. She was scheduled as the final artist on the last day. But you’ll recognize many others as well: Milo, Flip Kowlier, Gabriel Rios, Luc de Vos,...

Although the festival took place a few months ago I finaly found the time to put the images on my own website.

The gallery features a smaller selection of images and can be found in the varia section, or go directly to Dranouter aan Zee.

During the winter of 2007 I went to some trainspotting if you like. Well not really, it was more a photographic piece on a railway bridge in the neighborhood. It’s an all steel structure bridge and I like the retro look it has with the iron bolds and all.
I returned that week to do some night scenes as well.

I updated the pics in the existing Railway Gallery

Below are some examples:

Updated the Harbor Antwerp images in the varia section with some Dusk Till Dawn images of the harbor industry.

I know some have been waiting for this, so appologies for the delay!
I’ve put a selection up which you can find here in the varia section.
If you like to see all images then go to the apropo section of my website and check out the 2008 gallery!

On 18 and 19th of May 2007 Apropo organised its yearly concert. All students and teachers take part in this two day concert to give the best of themselves. In the late night after the concert ended several jam sessions were held by a lot of talented musicians who volunteered to to lighting, sound, stage...
During the 2 days I was on stage, back stage, front stage to photograph the concert.
I have selected a "Distillers Edition" of those pictures in the apropo gallery in the varia section.

If you want to take a look at the complete concert pics take a look here. I put up a separate webpage for this event.

I would like to take this opportunity to mention a photographer who's work I adore. Bruce Percy is a photographer living in Scotland. He is mostly interested in nature photography, well living in Scotland who wouldn't? One day when going through his online portfolio I stumbled upon what looked like a urban shoot! The Mavisbank House had been abandoned many years before and it reminded me a bit of Chateau Neufcour. Although it's not really his style he was enamoured by the place and decided to do an essay on it. He's not the person interested to go inside these kind of buildings but the beauty and purity of decay and the way the building becomes one with its surroundings over time is depicted well in his own style.
Sometimes I forget how the outside is equally important as the inside... The Mavisbank House
also take a look at his other astonishing work.

In Belgium we have some nice cemeteries and also a some very big ones. Het Schoonselhof in Antwerpen is one of the biggest in Europe [I believe there is a bigger one in the north of Germany, but I forgot the name].
This cemetery is visited not only by the people visiting deceiced relatives and friends but also photographers. I have been there a few times since it's in the neighborhood and everytime I see someone wielding a camera while running around the "old" section.

The old section is the nicest in my opinions because it has very old graves dating back to the years 18xx. People who were buried at that time usualy were rich and/or famous and their graves are decarated by beautiful old sculptures or they simply have a big tombe.

I've decided to get creative on this with my camera and the results will come online soon in a separate gallery. The idea came from a trip we made to shoot EDF in France. On the voyage home we passed what looked like a cemetery with some old graves in a small village and decided to take a look and from there on...
