I promised some pictures of the Brussels Christmas market so here they are. I’m not very good at this kind of thing but hopefully you still get a sense of the twinkle-fest that this thing is. And I have a month to practice and get something better before they dismantle the whole thing again at...

Autumn Collections
I promised myself, when I started this blog, that I would post something at least once a week. And already I have failed. Boo Cass! BOO! Oh well, better late than never. My excuse, by the way, is that I’ve been traveling a lot for work and that we’ve had my parents to stay meaning...
I love her
I’ve caught the dreaded lurgy from someone or somewhere so, despite my amazing birthday present, there’s been no photo-taking for me for the last couple of days… Instead, here’s one my favorite pictures from this year.

Challenging
Most of my pictures tend to be of Amélie. And who can blame me? Sometimes though I need a bit of a kick up the bum. I need to try something different that pushes me to learn a new technique or a new processing method. So yesterday, Han suggested we go for a quick evening...
Autumn in Brussels
Autumn came crashing down on us this year. And it seems to be in a very bad mood. I think it’s threatening to turn into winter before we’re quite ready: grey clouds, howling gales and bitterly cold rain that doesn’t just fall but literally pellets down as if driven by more than mere gravity. But...
