#Recycling should have a back seat to #REUSE.

My Brussels municipality is actually an obstacle to reuse. They ban people dumping e-waste on the street -- which blocks neighbors from salvaging stuff. Then the e-waste goes to a protectionist corporation (“Recupel”) who repairs very little, and wastefully /recycles/ the materials. I have a dozen broken appliances I cannot get parts for b/c I am blocked. And the local parts dealer never has the parts I need.

There is not a single junk yard in #Brussels. Effectively, no #rightToRepair

Do better. Please.

#Palantir opens shop in #Brussels, expect sales and #lobbying to happen.

I had to look it up... (I’m terrible at remembering names)
So this fountain in Brussels is a work of art by Pol Bury

Good for a test of my Minolta Hi-Matic 7s

Let's show a new collection of a film camera buy and test !

Years ago, I bought a Hi-Matic 7s.
Luckily for me, I was able to buy my collection of cameras before the analogue revival happened.
So I was able to buy loads of cameras for around 20 euros each .
It’s always nice to test something out with film ! I always had something to test with in my bag. You don’t actually need much to use a camera.
You’ve got your film, your subject, the aperture and your shutter speed.

My first #criticalmass in #Brussels [1/3]

A lot of participants, hard to evaluate, but I think it's between 500 and 1000. Very nice ambiance! It was very cool to meet the Brussels bike community!

The only missing guest was the sun... maybe next month 😉

First 100 km of 2026 [1/3]

Yesterday, sunny spring is finally coming, so it was time to do a long road bike ride. I prepared my itinerary with #komoot, for exploring a new area: south of #brussels.

I avoided the large roads, but sometimes the road surface was challenging for my road bike.

Today, the last photos with the Olympus Trip 35... I'm finishing with three photos in one day. Two recent "test" photos taken during theatre performances and one photo from the archive. I recently had this one printed in A2 format and I'm looking forward to an exhibition in our village. The on-stage photos were taken with the aperture set to 5.6 and the distance estimated, of course.

I’m not someone who just shoots away indiscriminately,
film is precisely there to make you think about an image, not to burn through rolls of emulsion.

For those who are actually reading this, I mentioned earlier that I work as a stage manager and therefore occasionally take photographs on stage. Last week I took another photograph on stage with this little camera... Of course, it's not this photo, this one is from several years ago. But it does show that it is sometimes possible to take a good picture with it, even in very difficult conditions... (very little light)

Recently, we were walking in a place where I used to pass by a lot on my motorbike. And although I am someone who is very observant, I had never noticed this castle and farm with a tower before. Otherwise, I would certainly have stopped there in the past. But the lane is somewhat hidden among the trees, and I suspect that in summer you would quickly drive past it. Nevertheless, it is a beautiful little tower with a fascinating history, situated on top of a hill in the Flemish Ardennes.

it's called kasteel Den Ast #caslte

“Belgian Pride”

For Belgian Pride 2017, the city of Brussels was draped in rainbows for 15 days, with beautiful illuminations on iconic buildings in the city, including the famous Grand-Place.

To me, Brussels 🇧🇪 will always be a city of contrasts. Stunning historic buildings share the streets with some pretty confronting modern structures, calm pedestrians zones end with busy and congested roads, and a cultural gem at the heart of Europe fades out into some very deprived suburbs.

These issues are certainly not unique to Brussels, but the city seems like a microcosm of the beauty and struggles of capital cities worldwide.
