		<title>A Holga View of Cullera</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Walking around at a congress for professional photographers with a 25 Euro plastic toy camera, provokes some strange looks sometimes. I only had time to shoot one roll of Kodak Portra 160NC film (medium format). Looking at the very particular look the Holga gives these pictures, I should have shot a lot more frames. It&#8217;s [...]]]></description>

		<title>Sneak Peek &#8211; Motivational Light DVD</title>
		<description><![CDATA[For the last couple of months I&#8217;ve been working countless hours on an instructional DVD about lighting. This week we entered the final post processing stage and I&#8217;m very thrilled to see all the hard work come together in the editing suite. The DVD should be available worldwide in a couple of weeks. In the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Cullera, Spain 2010 AFPV Congress &#8211; Part 2 &#8211; Lighting Demo</title>
		<description><![CDATA[During my lecture at the congress I showed some of my pictures and briefly touched on my lighting style on location but there was no time to really explain. Because I got a lot of questions from people who wanted more info on how I combine flash with ambient light, we setup up a short [...]]]></description>

		<title>Cullera, Spain 2010 AFPV Congress &#8211; Part 1</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I just got back from five fantastic days at the AFPV congress in Cullera, Spain, where I did a presentation about what I call &#8220;Photography 2.0&#8243;. It was basically a condensed version of all the business related articles on this blog. I really didn&#8217;t know what to expect from this congress but I decided to [...]]]></description>

		<title>a Hands-In Review &#8211; Etre Touchy Gloves</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Small things can make a big difference to a photographer, sometimes they are not even directly photo related. It&#8217;s winter here in Belgium and even though we got rid of the snow, it&#8217;s still pretty chilly if you have to shoot outside for longer than 10 minutes. I swear by outdoor gear when it comes [...]]]></description>

		<title>Shooting Film &#8211; Shared Fun is Doubled Fun</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Shared fun is doubled fun, so I&#8217;m really happy that my friend Pieter also got himself a medium format film camera. I&#8217;m sure that if an experienced film shooter would overhear our conversations, he would shake his head but it&#8217;s a lot of fun sharing the little knowledge and the bags of bullshit we think [...]]]></description>

		<title>Find the 7 Differences</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s almost Kobe&#8217;s seventh birthday and like each year I try to come up with some kind of corny idea for the invitation cards for his birthday party. This time, we went for a quick 5 minute studioshoot (Hensel Expert Pro Plus 500 with an Octaform Lightbox 150 to camera right, Sunbounce Pro to camera [...]]]></description>

		<title>Scans from the Past &#8211; Preserving Memories</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A picture doesn&#8217;t have to be technically perfect to make you remember a story that you had otherwise forgotten about. As a photographer I find it hard to put a photo online or on my wall that doesn&#8217;t meet my technical criteria. Finding a box with old pictures and negatives made me think a bit [...]]]></description>

		<title>Lut on Film</title>
		<description><![CDATA[You&#8217;ve already seen the digital shots of my improvised test shoot with Lut. The main goal of this shoot was to test my new lights and modifiers. For that kind of stuff, the instant feedback of digital is certainly very convenient. But I couldn&#8217;t resist quickly shooting a couple of rolls of film with the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Winter Walk</title>
		<description><![CDATA[We get to see some snow pretty much every winter in Belgium but most often that is limited to a couple of days here and there. This winter we got already two pretty lengthy snow stretches (for Belgium). People even get used to it and don&#8217;t crash their cars anymore when driving over a snowball. [...]]]></description>
