Wankersoffice

Some time ago, I was in the old harbour part of Gent shooting some bikes.
After the bikeshoot I wandered around a bit on the abondonned industrial site.
Afterall it turned out not to be abandonned, some kindof of Truck garage was in the building and this is what I saw though some broken window....

That's why I love wandering around these places...always some fascinating stuff to be found and shoot.

Costas' Castings

A while ago, Costas from Greece send me some emails bout finding a traditional rod or custom...

severals messages later we came to the subject of making ECKW nametags....

it never came to really having them made, but C. made me a oneoff El Cheapo bronze casting....

and eventhough it was pretty rough, I liked it from the moment he send it to me.

Meanwhile, Costas has perfected his casting techniques and he turns out some really kool shit...
