Morning Dew.

Photowalk with the team.

—————
So today we organized a photowalk with the team at 06:30 to capture the beauty of morning dew. It really was a beautiful morning and a pleasant walk however.. the night was a little too short!

Hope you all had a great day too?!

Hi, I’m the new guy.

Project manager at Inventis.

—————
So today was my first ‘official’ day on my new job as project manager at Inventis,- a web-design company located in Belgium. It is such a great team to work with and I just love to make the web a better place.. ☺

Hope you all had a great day too?!

Time for something else.

Canon EF 50mm f/1.4 USM

—————
I’ve been looking for a better lens for some time now and it wasn’t an easy choice. I decided to “play it safe” and go for a better 50mm since I use it for 90% of all photos at this moment. I guess the next lens will come in combination with a new camera given that I really want to do more with photography.

I’m sorry for not being around that much.. things will change very soon! I hope you all had a great day?!

The new guy on the block.

—————
Not that much going on lately.. I’ve been working on a new website for a car community called Golfmk2.be. It will be a site full of information about the Volkswagen Golf Mk2 and a forum where people interact with each other. Currently there are +2000members (mostly Belgians) and we hope to reach more Mk2 enthusiasts.

I’m currently checking if everything works in every browser and on every platform.

Hope you all had an amazing weekend?

Mr. Grasshopper

Hey, I’m under disguise!

Just discovered this little grasshopper in our garden this afternoon.. I must apologize for being away so much.. Had a busy period and I also felt a little uninspired when it came to taking photos.. Also my kit-lens broke at the pukkelpop-festival.. I’m looking for a good canon lens to replace it and I really want your advice! ..so let me know!

Hope you all had a great day ?!

Welcome to Pukkelpop!

Silence before the storm.

—————
Pukkelpop is an annual music festival which takes place near the city of Hasselt (Belgium) in mid-to-late August. Each year Pukkelpop attracts thousands of vistors from Flanders and far beyond and we can say that Pukkelpop has become one of the biggest open-air festivals in Belgium. Each year there are about 200 acts that play on one of the 8 Pukkelpop stages during the three-day festival (from Thursday to Saturday). This 2010 edition is notable for its 25th anniversary and as the first ever Pukkelpop to have sold out its entire allotment of tickets!

For me this was the first edition as a Pukkelpop Crew member and it definitely will be not my last!

Ikea store.

You just have to love it.

Sorry for the delay all! I got a corrupt CF card and I’ve been trying to recover my photos from it. Day 220 is still missing but I have retrieved all the others photos.

I’ve been working at the Apple store from wednesday to friday last week and decided to go to the ikea on saturday. I just love these stores and products they make. First we looked for a new desk for my parents. The old one has had its days (and it was just ugly! *hehe). Afterwards we also looked for a new sofa & we probably will chose for the Karlstad-set next month. Anyway, to to get building that desk! ~ Lego for adults? Hehe*

Hope you all had an amazing weekend?

High Society Event

High Society Event

Wok Monday.

tasty & healthy lifestile.

—————
I really like to cook and experiment with food. However, as a student you don’t always have the time to go to a store and get the products you want / need. Nevertheless, I like to challenge myself to make something tasty with the products I have at home. Sometimes it turns out delicious (like in this case!) other times.. well you can guess.

I hope you all had a great day?

Bewildered Cat.

Hey! What are you looking at?

—————
Poesmie, another one of my girlfriend’s cats, was kind of bewildered yesterday when I grabbed my camera. She mostly lives outside and is more a wilder type of cat. I only got one shot before she walked away again so it was all or nothing. It is not easy to get her on photos but I think that this one turned out ok.

I hope you all had a wonderful day?

“When we are unable to find tranquility within ourselves, it is useless to seek it elsewhere.” — De La Rochefoucauld, F.

We had a lovely sunny day today with a nice soft breeze. I’m glad the weather is enjoyable again so I can work outside on my notebook :) We also cleaned up the broken tree today.. I kept a few pieces of wood and I’m thinking about making something with it.. Don’t know what yet so feel free to share ideas.

I hope you all had a great day?!
