Freedom means having the choice

Everybody has the right to make a wise and educated choice for themselves.
And I accept their choices as long as their choices
    * do not endanger/hurt, the Planet, the animals, my few loved ones or myself,
    * do not limit or inhibit my right and ability to make my own choices.

Freedom means having the choice to be free.. or not.

Event - Les fêtes médiévales de Binche (2024)

Afbeelding
Let's be really quick and dirty about this event: ▼ There was was an ice-cold wind, but most of the day it was dry, △ Each time the sun showed itself it was wonderful and we all smiled, △ Got a superb medieval cape that really helped against the wind, △ Great food ( including pancakes! ) and too much mead to taste, △ Überfriendly people ( visitors, reenactors, larpers & vendors.. sorry, I didn't run into anyone of the organisation, n or crew ) △ Excellent location: high upon the ramparts of the old city, △ Parked by accident right behind the corner of the event, △ Free parking, free toilets, and a fountain that will be useful during a future hot edition , △ Music by Skayrish , cannon fire, birds of prey, throwing things ( a bad combination with mead ),.. △ A fun afternoon eventhough it was tiny. . .   Let's provide you a few links: ▷ All photos can always be found on/downloaded from my Flickr and here ! ▷ A " How to download stills from Flickr ...

Elftopia is the only outdoors fantasy Summer event aka Renaissance fair in Flanders. Every year I say: " This was my last visit to Elftopia ."

Collab - Verbeke Foundation cosplay day 2024

Afbeelding
A few weeks ahead of the first cosplay shoot day of 2024 in the Verbeke Foundation I had wisely estimated that I would run into & make pictures of 10% of all cosplayers. That was a gross misestimation.. I think it's closer to 5%. Every edition organizer Geert seems to double the number of participants. I still don't know how he manages, but kudos for gathering somewhere around 240 participants. Let's start with a few links: ▷ All photos can always be found on/downloaded from my Flickr and here ! ▷ A " How to download stills from Flickr " tutorial was posted here . ▷ Some highlights might go to Clapper & to Instagram or even Threads . ▷ Buy Red Cathedral a whisky on Ko-Fi ▷ Updates are on THE Facebook . ▷ Give a follow to this young creative foundation: Deep Red Noise vzw . .

L’Imaginaire Erotique au Japon

Afbeelding
Japan, het is een wereld die we als Westerlingen nooit zullen vatten. We lezen massaal de manga’s en de hentai. We kijken naar de anime. We worden overweldigd door de films die zich wentelen in extreem geweld, ongrijpbare horror en magistrale, epische schoonheid. Takashi Miike, Hideo Nakata en Akira Kurosawa. Het is een wereld waarvan we enkel het oppervlak kunnen aanraken, het onderhuidse heeft echter iets onbevattelijks voor ons Westerlingen. Ook de erotiek in het land van de rijzende zon is op gans andere zeden gebaseerd. Van waar komt die fixatie van Japanners op SM-toestanden met meisjes in schooluniformen? Wat betekenen die grote reeënogen en eindeloze benen die wij zo vereenzelvigen met de mangacultuur? Hoe komt het dat hun fantasieën ook bij ons langzaam ingeburgerd geraken? Dat zelfs de woordenschat in dit verband soms wordt overgenomen. Wat is de erotico-myhologische basis van verhalen zoals Sailor Moon? Voor wie zich echt wil verdiepen in het wezen van de Japanse erotische...

Collab - D'Ursel cosplay day (2024)

Afbeelding
Eventhough many September days in 2024 feel more like November days, on Sunday the 15th it was good to be outside. Outside in the park of castle d'Ursel in Hingene the infamous Geert had gathered yet again a mass of cosplayers & photogs and as always I had hidden my set, this time behind an old wall. No line of sight onto the castle, but perfect for " Cosplayers with natural light " & some " Extreme shoot through ". Why not use the castle as a backdrop, you might ask?  It's a pretty castle, yes. It has one really interesting side, alas it was too crowded to build a set & get a constant, uninterupted view. On a quiet day I'll gladly combine the front of the castle with an epoque gown.. but that Sunday was NOT a quiet day. First a few useful links : ▷ All photos can always be found on/downloaded from my Flickr and here! ▷ A " How to download stills from Flickr " tutorial was posted here . ▷ Some highlights might go to I...

Body-Art Festival

Afbeelding
In een klein dorpje nabij Mechelen verzamelen zich sinds 2000 ieder jaar opnieuw een keur aan bodypaint- en make-upartiesten voor de laatste grote Europese wedstrijd van het jaar: de felbegeerde Body Artist Award. Op 12 november kan het publiek deze levende kunstwerken bewonderen tijdens het ganse scheppingsproces, zichzelf laten grimeren, deelnemen aan workshops en de mooiste bodypaints vastleggen op de gevoelige plaat. Eigenlijk zijn er zo 4 titels om te verdelen: één voor de mooiste airbrush, één voor het beste spons & penseelwerk, één in de categorie special effects en een laatste voor de mooiste festivalfoto. In elke discipline mogen amateurs, studenten en (semi) pro's zich met elkaar meten. Wees er dus tijdig bij, alvorens deze creaties voor altijd verdwijnen onder een warme douche. Wanneer: zondag 12 november 2006 vanaf 10u Locatie: GC Klein Boom, Mechelbaan 604 in 2580 Putte (Mechelen) info

Wijziging in de releasedatum voor Playstation3

Sony Computer Entertainment Europe (SCEE) maakte deze week bekend dat de releasedatum voor de PLAYSTATION® 3 is gewijzigd in Europa, Rusland, het Midden Oosten, Afrika, Australië en Nieuw-Zeeland van 17 november 2006 naar maart 2007. De release data in Japan en Noord-Amerika blijven ongewijzigd, op respectievelijk 11 en 17 november. De verschuiving van de releasedata in de SCEE gebieden wordt veroorzaakt door een vertraging in de productie van de blauwe laser diode binnen de Sony Groep. Hierdoor komt de verkrijgbaarheid van belangrijke onderdelen voor de PLAYSTATION 3 in het gedrang. De eerder aangekondigde wereldwijde verscheping van 6 miljoen PLAYSTATION 3 eenheden voor het eind van het fiscale jaar 2007 blijft ongewijzigd. Al wie voor de zekerheid al een XBOX360 had gekocht, lacht in zijn vuistje...
