It is that time of the year when the ghouls can leave their caves and mingle with the crowds. For a few days humans welcome all creatures from the Darkseid.. these last decades this welcome has become a purely commercial event as have all celebrations. Every holiday has become a reason to encite consumerism.. so I made a series of Halloween photos with the Sony A7IV you can watch for FREE on Flickr . Merry Samhain you creatures from the Dark.      For those who were looking for a less horror-themed Allerheiligen / Toussaint / All Hallows' Eve image:  .

1996 Was a very good year for videogames. Production of the Playstation 1 was going through the roof. Nintendo countered with the Nintendo 64. Duke Nukem 3D, Super Mario 64. Tekken 2 and Donkey Kong Country 3 became legends. Crash Bandicoot, Tomb Raider, Command and Conquer, Quake, Pokémon, Dead or Alive, Star Ocean and Resident Evil all debuted. For me the survival horror of Resident Evil was something new. A different atmosphere than zombie-shooters like Doom or Wolfenstein and even more addictive. Luckily in 1996 I was working in the videogames industry .. so playing all night could even happen at the office. Not even Parasite Eve, Silent Hill, Nightmare Creatures, Bioshock, Deep space, The Last of Us, The Evil Within, .. grapped me like that first night of Resident Evil.. that first time of being a vulnerable human in a world of zombies.  And yes then there were the sequels, and the movies, and the novels & comics and the animated series and the remakes. ( Full list ) 

This was the reaction of the barbarian faun to the notification that Castlefest 2021 has been cancelled. We can only hope the best for Elftopia, now that Trolls-et-Legendes has postponed it's fair to 2022.  Actually.. such events have been so long that I don't even remember which kind words I should use to convince the beautifully costumed creatures from the fantasy fairs into posing for my camera. Should I Zoom or Facetime them? " Hi, you on the other side of the path.. would you mind if I took a picture of your gorgeous creation? " My fear is that I'm not the only one with these questions rushing through the head and while I will try to talk to the costumed humans, some other photographers might resort to sniping from afar with 200mm to 600mm telelenses and refuel that silly <Cosplayer/Photog> feud because some not-cleary-thinking photogs caught some cosplayers unaware .. or even worse: snapped them while taking a huge bite of a sandwich. Not the most el

 Enjoy my favorite holiday of the year. The full set is on Flickr Link to the Instagram version

Urbex locations have their charm when combined with living models. This was a very raw & dehumanizing BDSM- & vegetarian-minded shoot. More on Flickr . Don't watch if you fear cannibalistic nightmares. Maybe if more humans visited a slaughterhouse they would eat less meat and treat the animals with some humanity.   Originally posted on my NSFW The Dark Cathedral portfolio    And yes, I combined the roles of photographer & butcher. How? Aha.. through a very handy camera-feature.

In times of Covid-19 the dead are everywhere around you  #corona2020 #lockdown2020

This virus is teaching us very important lessons.. the same lessons dystopian scifi movies & disaster/zombie-movies have tought us.. Survivalists were right: instinct quickly takes over once society's foundations are lightly shaking, freedom & privacy are swiped off the table in the name of safety and the authoritarian states are doing better than democracies.. and spreading their wings on waves of propaganda. (Check this VRT NWS article ) Let us remember the fallen and see what the future brings.
