Parkpop Oostkamp, 23 August 2009

Sunday, September 6th, 2009

Two weeks ago, I had the pleasure of taking pictures at a local festival in Oostkamp: Parkpop. A hot summer day, great crowd, lots of them anyway, perfect lighting with sufficient front light (cheers Geerolf ;), plenty of beer, and of course some great gigs! The shows of Hadise and Les Truttes were the most [...]

splashing water drops

Friday, July 31st, 2009

Earlier this month, on a warm lazy Saturday, I was sitting idle in the flowery garden. Tired of reading books, I decided to setup a little studio under the walnut tree and shoot some water drops. The idea is very simple: hang a bag of water above a filled basin, and make a tiny hole [...]

Canon EOS 50D – Trip to Normandy

Sunday, July 5th, 2009

Over a month ago, I’ve bought myself a new camera body for my birthday: a Canon EOS 50D. Though my previous one, an EOS 400D, is still functional, after two years, I was outgrowing its limits somewhat. The new one really is an upgrade. It’s bigger and as such more comfortable to hold. The larger [...]

The Next Big Thing III @ Cactusclub

Wednesday, April 29th, 2009

The Next Big Thing, Keremos‘ showcase of talented young bands, is touring through Flanders and last Friday they’ve ended up at the Cactusclub @ MaZ. As this venue is virtually next door to me, I went to shoot some pictures for Indiestyle. Only three bands this time: Roadburg, The Galacticos and Steak Number Eight as [...]

Arsenal @ Vooruit, 28 March 2009

Saturday, April 4th, 2009

Last week, I was at Vooruit in Ghent to shoot Arsenal for Indiestyle. Only one little spark was necessary to set fire to the sold out venue, keeping outside the cold rainy night. And quite a party it was with hits like Estupendo, Lotuk, Saudade and A Volta. Arsenal had invited several guests who colaborated [...]

The Sedan Vault & Madensuyu @ Cactus

Tuesday, March 17th, 2009

Last Sunday night, I was at the Cactus Club @ MaZ to shoot The Sedan Vault and Madensuyu for Indiestyle.be. Neither band I’ve heard of before, except for Madensuyu’s appearance on LUX, but I was pleasantly surprised. Every fragment that was able to enter my consciousness I fully enjoyed. Pure explosions of clever experimental Belgian [...]

The Next Big Thing, 13 Nov 2008, part 2

Monday, December 22nd, 2008

Two weeks ago, I reported on the first three bands that hit the stage on The Next Big Thing showcase night by Keremos. So that means you still have three more left. For these bands, I replaced the Sigma 30mm f/1.4 lens by my wide-angle zoom EF-S 17-55mm f/2.8 IS USM. Though two stops slower, [...]

The Next Big Thing, 13 Nov 2008, part 1

Saturday, December 6th, 2008

Last month, I went to The Next Big Thing at Trix, a showcase night presented by Keremos. Six promising young bands on the rise populated the bill: The Galacticos, Arquettes, Steak Number Eight, Team William, Kawada and Roadburg. That much good on one night was a perfect opportunity to go and shoot some pictures. For [...]

Dollarqueen @ Du Gaz, 8 Nov 2008

Tuesday, November 25th, 2008

After the After All gig, I rode back with Piet Focroul to Du Gaz in Bruges, where Dollarqueen was giving a show: a fairly new band but with experienced musicians, pure rock ‘n roll with a touch of blues and a hint of The Doors. Their songs just get stuck in your head (my personal [...]

After All @ Blikfest, 8 Nov 2008

Tuesday, November 25th, 2008

A couple of weeks ago, I accompanied After All to a gig for the second time, , . And just like the previous time, it was a great experience. The venue was JC Togenblik in Beveren-Waas, Belgium of course, where the fifth edition of the Blikfest metal festival was organized. I didn’t see much of [...]
