I have had this beautiful aluminium photo frame stuffed in a box in my bedroom for a long time. Not knowing what to do with it, where to hang it or what to display in it. So yesterday, when I had a little time, I decided to make a few paintings to fit the frame. [...]

I love posting about music, new bands and existing music that isn’t too main stream. I think there are a lot of great bands out there that have been in the music ‘business’ for years but have remained under the radar as they aren’t considered commercial enough for the big music labels. Today though I’m [...]

I honestly never thought I would even consider it, but lately I have been thinking a lot about it and I have come to the conclusion that I just actually might do it; getting a tattoo. Surely it’s not something to think of lightly as it will be something that is permanent so I really [...]

I have been thinking about participating in the National Geographic Photo Contest for Belgium and The Netherlands but when I went to the site I noticed so many beautiful photographs. Truly much better than mine, and I’m not talking myself down, they just are! So now I’m in doubt, should I just go for it [...]

After picking up my macro objective for my camera this morning, I had to test it. I just couldn’t resist leaving it unused until tomorrow so instead of doing the things I was supposed to do (such as house work) I went outside on the hunt for some bugs. I really have to get used [...]

I finally got that long awaited phone call from the photography store telling me my macro objective is in. It took about a month for them to get it in. I can understand they are depending on their supplier to get these things in when ordered, but I would have expected them to call their [...]

After my (numerous) posts on TOMS Shoes, here’s another post on shoes. This time from a different angle. I finally had some time to go out with my camera and relax after some hectic days at work. When I looked down at the stables I saw some things that looked like it would be great [...]

Generally I’m not one for forwards or YouTube videos thrown into blog entries as usually, they are not very spectacular. But today I saw something that truly amazes me. My parents received a forward from a friend with a link to a video from painter Dan Dunn. He paints live on stage in front of [...]

Finally instead of procrastinating I decided to make some progress on my photography site. Granted there is still a lot of work to be done and the layout is not completely my own it’s based on the Rockstar 3 theme by themevibes.com. Generally that’s not my thing but I’m entirely without inspiration at the moment [...]

What do you do on a cloudy day with high chances of rain? You stay indoors if you can and find the perfect spot and lighting to take photographs of borrowed orchids. Well, that is if you’re anything like me and are still drooling over the new camera you bought last week… So I went [...]

In a previous post I talked about how it shocked me to see my site statistics go downhill in about two weeks. Today I visited my stats page again to see how things are and once again I got shocked. No visitors today at all… Which is very weird as one of my default pages [...]

I don’t want to jinx it but I’m feeling a lot better than last week. The flu seems to be gone although my throat is still acting up. Not sure if that’s the last bit of the flu, a ‘warning sign’ for my arthritis due to the weather, or a combination of both. I’m just [...]

Yes you read that right; I’m in love. Not with a person though (let’s face it, no cute guys around here…) but with my new toy. A Canon Selphy CP720 printer to be able to print my photos. It’s another step in the right direction for selling my photographs. With it I’ll be able to [...]

Everyone relaxes in a different way. I like to sit on my balcony and watch the sunset. Here are a few photos I want to share you from the view I have. Total relaxation for me, I hope you enjoy it as much as I do. Remember I’m in the middle of the city so [...]

After last week’s shopping endeavor in the secondhand store to hunt for books, I took a trip to this two story secondhand store to look for more bargains on books. It’s fun to sniff around the bookshelves trying to find books I like and haven’t read yet or look for books to get certain series [...]

I managed to get a copy of all Shakespeare’s work in one book at the secondhand book store last week. It’s in English and it seems to be in a decent state, especially for the price I managed to get it for; €3.50 (convert?) Of course everyone is familiar with his work and when I [...]

I wrote about it before but I thought I’d do it again. Because I’m really passionate about music and feel that there is a big change needed in the music industry. So the more people know about the way a lot of bands are treated and realize what’s going on, the better. This documentary, called [...]

It seems that I have a sudden rush for creativity (or at least something that has to pass for creativity anyway). As promised, I used the skyline image I drew last week to create another theme. It took me a little while to think of a way to use it in a layout but I [...]

I spend my weekend drawing; yes you read that right, drawing. I used to be in a painting class and since my painting stuff is packed away until the sun comes out again (I prefer to paint outside) and the weather is too bad to go out and do some photography, I figured I stay [...]
