Yes, I am also particularly proud of my article {{Title}}. I put in a lot of effort, but people tell me it’s a bit hard to find in the search engines, so citations are still a bit low for now… 🙈😂😂

Yes, I am still taking my camera out sometimes - for those who were wondering 🫣

A series shot last Sunday - work in progress.

Also: great news coming up soon on the photography front - working hard on a lovely new project. ☺️

It finally arrived!

Looking forward to learn about how messiness,creativity and grassroots initiaties bring vitality to our cities, away from too restrictive planning.

‘They are the paths we take, rather than the paths we are given’

Whenever working away from home, it’s always such a joy to check the wifi networks nearby - it never disappoints 😅🙈

Back to Sunday habits: more from the #Olympusxa and Schaarbeek, Molenbeek and Kuregem.

The joy of walking the streets and finding the beauty in the people and the things: my happy place ☺️

Far from perfect – but oh what is this print beautiful.

The quiet joy of analogue photography: waiting patiently for the plane to take just the right turn… while knowing the light’s already fading.

And then it turns out soft, dreamy - better than expected.

Rêve! Tu es Libre!

Today we went to depose the bidbook for Molenbeek to be European cultural capital in 2030. We were loud, we were beautiful, we were Molenbeek. Let’s goooo!

On warm summer evenings, it’s like the real Brussels shows: people having improvised meetings on folding chairs by Schaarbeek city hall, girls playing football in the park like pros, kids trying how many can actually fit on a BMX bike, their mothers gathering in Brusilia’s shade. (1/3)

Loving the #pubconference2025 workshop on permacomputing, challenging traditional, extractive technologies.

Thinking with communities, and asking questions like ‘can your old, broken smart fridge become your neighborhood’s social media platform?’
