Rest in peace, uncle Gilbert

On Saturday morning I had a 10am date with my cousin, his girlfriend and their kids at the Mote playground in Koekelare, a small neighbouring town. My mom was born in Koekelare and most family members of her side (the few that we have) live there as well. Around 11.30am we headed to the terrace…

Manhattan in Motion (by Mindrelic)

When I first visited New York City last summer, I fell in love. Somehow, I still think it’s quite impossible to explain to someone why one would love this city so much. This time lapse video, however, manages to capture all the emotions & images when thinking of Manhattan and New York City. Photographer Josh…

online tour at the MAS

On May 17th, the MAS in Antwerp finally opened its doors. Finally as in after a project that stretched over more than ten years. I must say that I’m already impressed by just looking at the building, so I’m pretty psyched about the visit I’m planning this summer. If you don’t want to wait that…

International Kites Festival

Today we attended the International Kites Festival in Ostend. Over 350 national and international kite-specialists showed us their kiting-skills. I actually came up with the idea to go there as a part of one of my assignments for my photography class, but I must admit I was pretty impressed with all the kites. Other than…

In Memoriam, Wouter Weylandt

After watching the final kilometers of today’s emotional Giro stage, I wanted to share the words of poet Willie Verhegghe, as cited by Sporza tv commentator Karl Vannieuwkerke. Renners Sterven Niet Renners sterven niet, ze verdwijnen alleen maar uit het zicht eens zij de laatste finish hebben overschreden en de snelheid van het leven hen…

Wouter Weylandt RIP

I choked back tears today because I can’t begin to say how much you’ve shaped this boy, these last ten years or more. My friends we’ve seen it all, triumphs to drunken falls and our bones are broken still, but our hearts are joined until, time slips its tired hand into our tired hands we’ve…
