Just as I was about to take a picture of this dreamcar parked in
front of my house, this man walks up and opens the door for his
grandchild to get in. He was very proud of his Ford Capri, which he
has owned since 1978 and is in a completely original state. Sounded
as delicious as it looks.
He didn't feel like selling it to me though... :(

Had to shoot the press conference for Antwerpen United, the new
collaboration between 5 indoor sportsclubs from my hometown
Antwerp. Curious to see when the outdoor footbalteams (Antwerp and
Beerschot) will realise that working together will be the
only way they will ever reach a decent (inter)national level.
Our city's deputy of sports Ludo Van Campenhout and national
minister of sports (and work, spatial planning, finance and
immovable heritage - busy man...) Philippe Muyters were kind enough
to pose for a quick portrait. Thanks boys! :)

Last night I attended the first edition of the Flemish Rap Awards.
For many the highlight of the evening will have been the
overwhelming victory of Safi & Spreej who collected 5 awards in
different categories. My personal highlight -could well become the
musical highlight of 2013- was the rebirth of Antwerp's All Time
Greatest Hiphopband:
Sint Andries MC's! Nowadays consisting
of MC's Scale & Kilogram (a.k.a. KG), they brought down the
house with some oldskool tracks like Reprezent 2000, Spellekes and
Hiroshima Stijl.
Only question I had after the show was: where can I pre-order
that new album?? :)

As an adept windsurfer and surfphotographer (really, you
hadn't noticed?) I'm always on the lookout for good conditions to
surf and shoot. One of the best places I've had the pleasure to
visit so far for doing this is Cape Town, South Africa. This year I
also wanted to go, but since the finances of a Freelancer aren't
always abundant, I had to try to find another way. I'll spare you
the details, suffice it to say that not all Editors in Chief stick
to their promise. This meant I had to let go of my dream of
visiting my Mecca this winter. Only thing I could do to wash away
my sorrow was: go surfing. And so we did. Dieter Van Der Eycken,
Kenny Janssen and I headed for the Belgian Coast in 40+ knots and
had a merry ol' time. Some pics to prove it was fun. Who needs Cape
Town anyway, when you have Bredene aan Zee...?
