I arrived in Madrid 4 days ago and all I have done so far, is spending time with my buddy, Alex 'Brutally Honest' Rotenberg, and I tried to make new Asian friends at the Casino Gran Via live Poker tables :-) Some 30 hours of cash game later, I have new friends ... and foes. Games are running scorching hot like the Madrid weather over here these days. NLH 1/3 and 2/5 for the sane, PLO 2/5 up to 5/10 for the insane. I have been insane :-D

We played until very late last night and, on my way home, I suddenly remembered that something very special was going on up there...

Summer skies are back! I shot this one late at night in Gouvy, Belgium last weekend.

In June 2018, I decided to spend a few weeks off in Portugal between stops in Riga, Latvia and Namur, Belgium. I ended up playing loads of cash games and spent a week in a cork plantation near Samora Correia (Santarem) chilling by the pool while drinking Lambrusco during the day and shooting the dark Portuguese countryside skies at night. Tough life!

After more than a year of lockdowns and restrictions, I still see a surprising amount of people with no plan what so ever in terms of down time management and giving in to wasting copious amounts of time. Nature around us knows no such thing as inaction. So why should we?

Inaction can be defined as the lack of action where some is expected or appropriate.

Everything evolves, matures, grows, changes, betters, worsens, decays, accelerates & decelerates in nature. Sometimes quickly, sometimes slowly but nothing is ever still.

Actually, you might think that you're just sitting there looking at this sketch and reading this text. On the bus, on a train. Even if you're in a lobby or on your couch at home not moving for hours on a lazy Sunday, you are still traveling an incredible amount of kilometres per second ... that is: every second.
