A game of ‘count the children’! This was at Carlo & Ine’s – a welcome-to-the-world party for their new daughter Lina as well as a pre housewarming (baby + house in one go seems to be quite a common combo, must be what is referred to as ‘nesting’). This is only a small cross section; I don’t think I have ever seen so many small people in one place before… quite overwhelming!
Quick lunch with Marie H and Aurélie before heading off to take photos of Sarina. I caught the tail end of her interview (which the photo will accompany) and was amazed by her. She was born with only 5% sight and is now completely blind but manages to juggle an incredible amount – she speaks four languages, is top of her class, came second in the selection for the Belgian eurovision contestant (she writes and performs her own music and last year won the competition that I’ve been following this year for my exhibition – small world), is learning to use a guide dog in order to navigate independently through Brussels, and works with a number of organisations to try and improve facilities for the legally blind. She’s funny, positive and extremely sharp… quite humbling.
Two members of Salad Bar relaxing backstage after performing at the Imagine festival selection rounds in Braine l’Alleud. These were my favorites – really sweet boys and Radiohead inspired tunes… I was so hoping they would make it through to the finals but they didn’t 
In Schoten (near Antwerp) today to shoot one the Flemish preselection rounds for the Imagine festival. Some great talent, although my favorite band didn’t make it through to the finals sadly. Noemi’s bro Giuliano as well as Mirna and Rico were in town so met up with them, Arthur, the Maries, Luc and baby Melodi at La Maison du Peuple for drinks. Marie and Luc introduced us to the best eat-in pizza I’ve had in Brussels – Posto al Sole (blog I’m linking it does it better justice!) – definitely the tip of the week.
I like this shot. Tired….sleep….now…
