This series is now nominated for the Belgian Belfius bank photojournalism award 2013. I won this award 2 years ago. Couldn't submit pictures last year but was in the jury, and now, this year I'm nominated again! That's really great news, especially 1 day before my birthday!-)

I work alone, I photograph alone and I'm not even on Facebook. And I don't have time to share my work, or to upload my work to ev...
