Sorry to everyone for such long silence and thanks to all of you who sent me emails asking what was going on. Most of you are probably already aware that I moved recently to Brussels and I was busy arranging everything and settling down in the capital of Europe.

The first impression of the city on me was crushing – I got a kind of a ‘city shock’ after moving from a small city like Maastricht to a much much bigger one like Brussels. I have to admit that it took a couple of weeks before the shock went away…actually I don’t this is gone completely because it’s hard for me to acquire my photography spirit/creativity back at the moment Hopefully the situation is going to change soon because tomorrow I have a photo session at a customer’s place.

I’m also looking for a place for a photo studio in Brussels and I hope I will find something soon. Although my hopes are much easier than the reality because I don’t have enough money to rent or even buy a place for a studio but I hope to meet someone who will be kind enough to enable me to use some space for free. I will also have to make some new photo equipment purchases by the end of this year and get my equipment insured. The latter is quite important because I had some bad experience in the past when I wished to have insurance for photo equipment. It looks like I will have lots of expenses in the future for all that but I will have prioritize with them because I don’t have enough money at the moment.

Today’s picture: It’s a typical low-key picture and I tried to be creative with it as for my first picture from Brussels. It’s a view from my living room and if you look closely, you can see my ghostly posture on the right.
