Nostalgia: ‘Mijn Vlakke Land’

This weekly theme is nostalgia.

Travelling through the West of Belgium always brings back memories of Jacques Brel, one of Belgium’s most famous citizens. He had a love hate relationship with his country of birth, and particularly did not like Dutch as a language. Most of his songs are in French. One of them is about Belgium, Le Plat Pays translated in Dutch as Mijn vlakke land.

Paris is a nostalgic place for many people for many reasons.

I browsed my archive for pictures to publish in – an originally – small series. That series caught on a bit more than I thought.All of them are not retouched yet.Scratches, dust and stains are not removed.

Quest: Valetta

The weekly theme is ‘quest’.

The moment I saw this scene on a hot Sunday afternoon in Valletta on Malta, I knew I had to take a photo. In my imagination there are lots of stories about the woman, and why she was walking there deep in thoughts. Maybe she was bequested by life at that moment. Sometimes I feel that taking a photo at a certain moment is like being an intruder in someone’s life. This is one of these moments.
