as i promised in my previous post, i’m going to post some pictures of the gentse feesten. it was actually the first time that i went to the gentse feesten at daytime. i did have a great time though.

all pictures taken with bessa r3m, nokton 40/1.4, tri-x (for those that care…)

at a flea market…

dogs will take over the entire universe someday. don’t tell me i didn’t warn you…
this dog was already able to drive a car!

funny how the guy on the left tried to cover his face with his hand. he wasn’t very pleased with me taking pictures. that’s for sure :-D

beggin’ for some food.

on the neg, the lady’s arm isn’t cut off though.. apparently the stupid lab that scanned my negs can’t even manage to scan negs properly :-/

how i’ve stalked this dog… :)
poor thing had to wear his woolen jacket while it was quite hot.

soeur sourire revival? :]

overexposed *joy* :-/

it’s beginning to look like a hobby of mine to cut people’s feet off *blush*

fish-creature-things wandering through the streets of Ghent.

a fish-creature-thing pooing a human. great!

dSLR’s.. everyone has one nowadays.

do notice the little fella with the white shirt on the right. he was sort of mesmerized but also gave an impression that he was quite bored :)

they were having a great time playing accordion and drinking booze.

apparently some people still had to work while others were enjoying themselves at the gentse feesten.

very… euhm… rock’n'roll?! *cough* :]
she was sitting there all day long, watching concerts and enjoying her cigarettes. man, you should’ve seen the pile of cigarette ends lying next to her…

he wasn’t very interested in the concert.

these guys were great!

balloons!

an italian guide holding her umbrella in the air to make sure she didn’t lose her ‘audience’ in the crowd.

karate kid givin’ a demonstration at the gentse feesten :’ )

the wall must fall! they had quite a discussion about this.

this guy was soooo cool. i was taking some pictures of him when he suddenly noticed me and said that i had a nice camera…

he: that’s a nice cam you have there mate. is that a leica?
me: i wish it was, but no.. it’s a voigtländer.
he: ah it does look like a leica though. i have a leica myself.

the conversation went on and on and on while he was doing all those fancy tricks with balloons. the people surrounding him gave us some strange looks. i think they didn’t really had a clue what we were talking about :]

these little fellas were quite fascinated by the guy with his balloons.

i made a few attempts to take a picture of the guy in the middle, but every time the girl(or her balloon) blocked my sight. at the moment, i was so convinced that she wouldn’t be in the way. wrong guess it seems…

de nieuwe bellenman! (no i’m not even going to try to translate this :D)

she was impressed by the police who were escorting some wasted guy, but then she saw that i was taking pictures of her and she gave me one of those ‘burn in hell’ looks.

i’d rather not have a pole poking in my ass! :-p

guess what… the wasted guy from a few pictures ago ended up next to me. the police put him on the bench(next to me). do notice the Rolling Stones tattoos on his arm :]

white sport shoes with white hitched up socks are sooo wrong!
(i was having a beer and i just noticed… not that i’m always checking out people’s shoes and socks :-D)

i wanted to finish off my roll, so i started taking pictures of this lady…

left girl: look that guy’s taking everybody’s picture, expect ours.
right girl: sir, don’t you want to take a picture of us? (yeah people call me sir.. still don’t know why. i don’t look like a ‘sir’. dude would do…)
me: whatever.
right girl: you’re not going to put this picture on the internet or anything like that, huh?
me: euhm… no (okay big lie, but it’s not like they’re flashing their boobs… so big deal) .

this guy was so funny.. but especially wasted.

on my way home…

that’s about it… pretty lengthy post, huh?! it’s more quantity than quality, but who cares.. i had a great time.

anyways.. i’m off.

cheers!
