Lieven symaeysAfter visiting the M HKA and FOMU, I was walking through the South Park in Antwerp when I was approached in a friendly manner by two young girls who were roller-skating. They asked me what time it was. And although this might be a very ordinary experience, I found it quite remarkable. There is kindness and trust towards a man who is old to them, and they themselves aren’t walking around with a mobile phone that they’re constantly staring at.
I do still strike up conversations with strangers from time to time, but I feel it’s a bit harder than it used to be
In this photo, you can probably see most clearly that it is part of:
a still considered disabled ( for a period ) photographer...
My after shoulder operation test collection !

I’m a bit further along in my rehabilitation and can already hold the viewfinder up to my eye !
The smallest camera I own is the Yashica Electro35 MC

So I’d tested it beforehand to see if I could actually operate it with my left hand.
It was also the first time I’d used colour film in my tiny little Yashica
The lab in #ghent I’ve been using all my life (and get very little credit for) has had its full-frame negative scanner break down. So I’m missing my proof that I don’t crop my photos… sorry about that !!
It’s an unbelievably small and charming little #camera… #analog is timeless. #filmphotography #ishootfilm #grainisgood #film #yashicaelectro35 #colorfilm #kodakgold #kodak #hospital #surgery #lefthand #bandage #antwerpen #antwerp #antwerpen #zuidpark #museum #art #mhka
