Brussel Deze Week
Another publication on the cover of the Brussels Weekly. An original view on the Gay Pride Parade using one of my pictures. Read the issue online.
It was a cold day with a little sunshine, but this policewoman looks a little magenta. Should I have another look at the calibration of my new D5 MKIII camera?
Some more publications of my work in the past few days you’ll find here too.
De Standaard
From the archives, on Bilangual schools in Brussels. Yes, the biggest girl in pink, that’s my daughter!
NRC
open democracy
Sometimes I upload my stories to demotix, instead of Corbis. The possibilities and help of the editors at Demotix make it possible to post a better story with the images.Not only the caption but a real headline, etc. Festival of Europe. Funny pic isn’t it?
two urinating females picture chosen by De Standaard.
Pride parade 2013
Of all images sent to all Belgian newspapers only one (De Standaard) chose a picture of mine. It was the picture of two gay men dressed up as female, who I secretely followed when I saw them in despair, running around Kunstberg, citycenter of Brussels. They found a more or less private place in a corridor near central station (where the smell of urine is quite normal) to urinate standing up.
I almost didn’t send this picture, while I thought it was a bit cheap, but when my wife liked it I thought I’ll send it anyway.
Check out my archives if you want to see or buy of all images I did.
Here you’ll find the original and some of my personal favorites:
Brussels’ gay pride parade 2013
A great atmosphere at the Pride Gay parade 2013 in Brussels this year.
After one week of conferences, talks and meetings, a day of partying, a rally of gay, lesbians, transgenders and more was organized in Brussels citycenter.
The zombie pictures illustrated to me in the best way what’s meant by this event: Gays aren’t zombies!

BDW cover image Brussel Deze Week published
Yes I know, it’s a little out of focus, but it’s a nice composition, I thought.
Mama Marie and other volunteers giving asylum-seekers a cup of soup and some bread when they’re thrown out of the asylum bureau taking a lunchbreak.
They all have a number so they don’t loose their place in the queue.
I was doing this last minute assignment for the BDW and never thought it would end up on the cover of the Brussels Daily.
Read it online.

new photographers agency from Belgium
At Photoshelter, an online archive and photographers site, I started a new agency just yesterday.
About 50 photographers from Belgium have their archives available on Photoshelter indivdualy, so I thought: Why not put them all together?
So whenever your looking for great photography from a Belgian photographer you can search and buy your editorial images directly from the photographer’s through the agency.
Better prices than buying it through a normal agency, and here the fee is for the photographer himself, so you’re helping photographers stay alive.

One never knows what photos editors pick
PUBLICATION ON NRC
As you saw in a previous post, I did quite some photographing at the coronation of Willem-Alexander in Holland. And what did I find? Only one picture was used until now, and it is this totally boring picture of mine, at least, when you compare it to all the colorful images I shot over there in Amsterdam.
Well, this is a online publication. The other images, spread by Corbis and Hollandse Hoogte, could end up in magazines too, but a photographer only knows this at its best one month later. All that without seeing the final publication, or even knowing what paper or magazine it was published in. Just by seeing the bill the agency sent with sold footage.
That is the frustrating thing of being a photographer nowadays. You don’t know if your pictures get sold. And when you get to know they were sold, you see the bill, but often you don’t know in what publication they ended up, or in what layout or on what page they were used.
OK, never mind. The real kick of photography is the process of capturing the images. Whatever happens with them later on, is history!

Great cover for BDW Brussels this week
I just thought it was a good choice of the photo-editor choosing this image for the cover of the Brussels weekly. Ok I’m not objective, while it’s my own picture, for which I had to bike, on a sunday, for a few hours, to spot those musicians somewhere in the woods under Brussels. ( I got a little lost)
But it’s a nice atmosphere, these hiking-shoes, and the dreamy music. Though the leaves made a lot too much noise.
Always happy seeing my images being used wisely, even in the local weekly having a high level of editing, higher than some national papers!

photography coronation Dutch King Willem-alexander in Amsterdam
I really looked forward photographing the coronation, but as a freelance photographer I was denied all access to photographers pools. Even with a nice letter of my photographers-agency, I just couldn’t get in. But well, I still made the best of it, and tried to document the surroundings of the coronation, the crazy Dutch in my homecountry.

Help, I won ticket to run the 20 km of Brussels
tweet fm brussel
I was phoned by radio FM Brussel. Following a tweet of Liesbeth Bernolet, asking why you should earn to have the latest tickets to the 20 kilometer run of Brussels, I replied:
Niet omdat ik voor een goed doel ren
Niet omdat ik dit zo leuk vind
Niet omdat ik iets wil bewijzen
maar gewoon omdat ik een stok achter de deur moet hebben, net 45 ben geworden, nog nooit zoiets gedaan heb, twee keer in de week rondjes om Flagey te weinig is, en saai, en omdat ik eens iets anders wil doen dan werken en achter een computer zitten en omdat ik van m’n buikje af moet.
And yes, I can run the 20 km of Brussels, and even get trained by a professional. Thanks a lot FM Brussels!
