Living in Belgium near the city of Antwerp, I am a passionate amateur photographer as from the end of the 70s. I try to be an open minded photographer and to appreciate the more traditional fine art photography as well as modern and more experimental work. In my own photography my favourite topics are urban/architecture.

Besides my activities on the internet, I am still an active member in a major Belgian photo club. I feel that the personal contact and the live discussions with fellow photographers bring an added value. As part of it I also participate regularly in FIAP/PSA photo competitions. It has the benefit of multiple judging results; the sum of those gives a good idea of the ultimate value of your image.
