BOEM ! That's the sound of Medieval cannons after almost 3hrs of sleep the night before and still I'm glad I went to see the great battle of the Quaeye Werelt reenactment.  Here's a short video on Clapper: Cannons & a bard (Put the sound on) Except some flashes of the battle, some honeywine & icecream with great people and a good hearthy meal with friends afterwards.. the day is a blur. I know it was hot. I know icecream fell on my toes, Alex played the lute for me.. I have probably stepped on peoples feet or hit them with the 200-600mm telelens.. or both. Luckily my cameras registered all that my mind has forgotten. .  Let us hope this time we don't have to wait 3 years till the next edition. . I haven't finished all stills..  not yet. Once it's done you can find them here on flickr . Meanwhile you can check where I'll be present next ( once I overcome the fatigue ) via Facebook  And here are a few samples: Link to this article: https:

 NL Oorpronkelijk is de belle-époque-periode (1873-1914) een puur Frans-Belgisch gegeven. Het was een periode van vooruitgang op vele vlakken (ondermeer socio-economische, geneeskundige,..) en met een typisch Fin de Siècle-gevoel in kunst, cultuur en architectuur. Het was de tijd van vooruitgangspositivisme, van Art Nouveau, impressionisme, Jugendstil, expressionisme, de eerste strandvakanties, het Antwerpse Centraal Station, de afschaffing van kinderarbeid, Nijl-cruises, auto's, fietsen en electrische trams, de ontdekkingsreizen van Stanley, de Olympische gedachte, de Moulin Rouge en uiteraard de Eifeltoren in de Lichtstad. Tegelijkertijd was het ook een periode van ongebreideld kapitalisme, van de overgang van Marxisme in strijdvaardig Leninisme, van de Boerenoorlogen, massale industrialisatie en van Europese welvaart dankzij het leeghalen van koloniën.

A Flemish models photographer ( but only during the weekends ) sent me a PM telling me that as long as i continued to make images with strange costumes, weird headpieces and " other bizarre items " no serious and self-respecting model would even consider working with me because such images simply don't belong in a model's portfolio. And he got me thinking.. because.. he is probably right. And I do make pictures without the things he pointed out.. BUT If a model (m/v/+) takes everything so seriously that they would never consider shoots with fantasy/scifi/historical/horror/.. elements then maybe a collab might simply not be a good idea. I like having fun and doing strange stuff when i feel like it. It’s always good to take a step back and look at your life through a different perspective. O-well, maybe he meant it well and he simply wasn't very skilled in the Fine Arts of Constructive Criticism and Basic Grammar?  So I went to check out his pictures: 70x model in

 How about trying to set up some images that give a feeling of a warzone? That was a nice challenge, now you decide if it worked.
