SOMICxJonasDebraekeleer photoshoot thumb

I’m sorry this went up so late, but if you follow me on twitter, you know what’s been going on. Anyhow I’m doing a photoshoot tomorrow from 3pm ’till 6pm at SOMIC, a new skatepark here in Belgium, so if you aren’t camera shy, come and have your picture taken! Check the official flyer after the jump.

We grew up with the 8-bit tunes blieping and blopping around our ears. When years later my brother, the one who’s now actually learning how to develop computer games in college, discovered Sabrepulse and his chiptune music we, my brothers and I, all became a fan. And about a month ago he came to Belgium, more precisely to a very small local bar only a few kilometres from where I grew up. No way we were going to miss that!

I don’t now why you would like to do this. Trains are boring. The seats aren’t that bad in most of them, but not really comfy either. There is always either someone yelling in his phone, playing loud music through the crappy speakers of his cellphone or laughing way too loud or a kid screaming his lungs out. You have to hop from one into another because they never seem to go directly where you want to go. And if they run late, like they do most of the time, chance are you are going to miss that connection as well wasting even more time than usual. If you don’t have a car though, here in Belgium they are the only way to travel fairly cheap over large distances. So if you’re like me you’ll end up in one at least once a week. While it’s obvious I found out this method by accident, and there are a million other ways, I’d like to share it with you.

Student Kick-Off on Sint-Pieters square here in Ghent is another big event that is held to, just like the name suggests, kick off the new academic year. This free event got put together by the universities, colleges, the city of Ghent and the students themselves. They got a nice all Belgian line up together and the event was well organised. We had a great time at the concerts and ended up in the Overpoort afterwards to party some more.

At the start of the new academic year there is a lot happening here in Ghent. Ghent is one of Belgium’s major cities to get higher education so while the summer is relatively quiet, at the end of September the madness returns. I was off work because my injured shoulder and since partying doesn’t require more than one arm, out we went.

Okay I’ve been slacking a lot lately and I shouldn’t be making excuses because I have plenty of free time since I’m unable to work due to my messed up shoulder. But it all got filled up pretty quickly with hospital visits and a lot of parties and concerts I now could go to. I’ve also been studying for my final for Art History and been catching up with a lot of unread blogposts I piled up in my RSS reader. Although the partying hasn’t really calmed down, I took my Art History test earlier this week so that’s past and all the hospital visits are over as well until later this month when I get my surgery. Time to get back to work on the website!

I have been processing most of my shots from September and October this last couple of days so I’ll be posting those next week or two. And I’m going to I ♥ TECHNO here in Ghent this Saturday and Sunday I’ll be seeing The Gaslight Anthem at AB club in Brussels so hopefully I can smuggle my S90 past the bouncers and take some pictures there as well. I also started working on a little website for the Harmonic Orchestra I play in that I’ll be building on WordPress and I’m going to finish some of the still blank pages here on my own website.
