I teach English and Dutch language and literature to high school kids in Flanders. My native tongue is Dutch. I studied in Leuven and I have a master in literary theory and comparative literary studies. I have two children, Ewoud and Thieben, and I'm happily married to Ann. I was born in 1969.
I 've always had a fascination for computers (my first was a Tandy with 8kb of memory!), gaming, and lately it has been video editing. I love Vegas Movie Studio 6 and 8 plat ed. I use low spec machinery: a canon md101, an Acer Aspire 1363 (512mb ram, amd sempron 3000 cpu), and a Toshiba mp4 (2.1 megapixel) for still photography, and of late the Canon A590 IS.

    Makes one quiet. Powerful script. Very good acting.

    Those big cranes are like the hands of clock. I love the cement truck. Now I know why building materials are so expensive: first building frenzy in Bejing, now in Dubai!

    Absolutely stunning: I love the birds in hyperspeed. Your video's should be in an art gallery!

    Eugenia, this video is nicely done. Don't you be bothered by the criticasters. It is simply unfair to compare your video with multi-million dollar videoclips on MTV.
