A Sunny Day in October
Category: Art and Photography

A couple of weeks ago a bunch of 'photomaniacs' and yours truly made a trip to Lier (province of Antwerp, Belgium).

I arrived there by bus at around 11 am - soon afterwards we started the tour..

There was a market; this was the first stall to catch my eye (ZZ Top song in my head)



There were several weddings going on, this is one of them




A visit to the Zimmer tower is always worthwile...




Louis Zimmer's workbench




Inside the St. Margaret's church




View of the 'Nete' river




In the beguinage...




St. Gummarus church




It's 292 steps up to the top...




Bim!! Bam !!!!




Panoramic view of Lier (80 meters above ground)




The end of a perfect day

Tagged!
Current mood: amused

I've been tagged; I'm supposed to write ten weird/crazy things about me.

So here it goes:

1. I don't drink coffee or tea

2. I don't have a car despite having posted a lot of Top Gear videos (I like the show, I simply can't afford the supercars they test)

3. I'm a Japanophile, I like the language, art and culture and I've travelled in Japan several times.

4. I like photography

5. I like to read books

6. My native language is Dutch

7. In real life I tend to be reserved and on the shy side.

8. I love paranormal and x-files stuff even though I don't really believe in it

9. I'm not good at blogging

10. I'm pretty good in foreign languages

War Photographer
Category: Art and Photography

I went to the local public library this week and besides books you can also lend dvd's, cd's, cd-rom, etc..

I lend a book and I found this dvd which is quite astonishing.

The title is "War Photographer" it's a documentary featuring James Nachtwey. The documentary was apparently shot on 35mm film and then transferred to dvd; directed by Christian Frei, camera by Peter Indergand.

The dvd has been released on "IDFA'S Delicatessen" label.
IDFA stands for International Documentary Film Festival Amsterdam.

It made a big impression on me; you see James Nachtwey in Kosovo, in Palestine, in Indonesia.
