You may or may not know that my fiancée and I have just moved to the other side of the world!
Yes, now I'm rediscovering (And Camille is discovering) the pleasures of a home among the gumtrees!
For those of you who want to see a bit of the world we're going to call home for the next couple of years I am setting up a photo blog here:

Right on :: Parc Josaphat - Tuesday the 21st of September 2010
Charles!
It is just, in one word, lovely! I was asking why we were not in a park with a little camera, now I understand why. I was just me being ignorant about what a real photo has to give. To the moment. It is my first equinox immortalised, I guess. And in such a beautiful way. You are right. The 'very simple camera' does not only make you think about the process during the time of taking photos, but it also invites you to think about the moment afterwards, when you are looking at them. Or may be it is just your talent, I don't know. All those moments with their peculiar flaws, which make them different than the other moments waiting ahead. There are no words to express what it feels like, but it still makes you talk about it. It should be what a photo is. Saying so much but remaining silent, in an almost violent way. You and camille are just beautiful!I think it is the way to convey what eyes have to say, without making them more than what they are.Just beautiful!beautiful!!!
It is one of the most delightful gifts I ever had. (not to mention I captured the moment while stephen was looking somewhere else :))hehehe)
Kisses
see you on friday.
Tugce
THANK-YOU TUGCE AND STEPHEN!!!

Portrait of a friend
Whilst I haven't been looking after my blog I have been doing all sorts of interesting things, the details of which I am sure to share here at the right time (very exciting projects indeed!!)
I just have to break the silence however, a job that had been on the burner for over a year came together these last few days, very different from my previous 8x10's.
I kept saying to myself that this is where the line between portrait and landscape becomes hard to define....

Second book
Yay!
Yesterday I received my first book, my old portfolio from 2006, in the mail.
The good news is that it looks great:-D
Being completely sold now on this Blurb thing I've decided to remake my book of watch images - which you can preview by following the following link.

Blurb'in
After some technical difficulties I have just uploaded my first ever book on Blurb!
see it here
Ok, so I made it relatively quickly from a pdf I had prepared back in the days when, but I'm kind of happy to have this snapshot of my portfolio and am really looking forward to making some books with my newer works.
I wonder if anyone will be interested enough to order it? I put it in the public box which means anybody can order themselves a copy, feel free to do so if you wish and let me know what you think!

Truc Troc 010
This weekend wasn't just all about birthday celebrations, I was really happy to see two of my photos hung up in the Bozar for this years edition of Truc Troc!
The concept is simple, artists exhibit their works and visitors wander around with a handful of post-its, when they come across a work that they would like to acquire they write down an offer on their post-it, and stick it up next to the work.
I would like to share with you a few of the offers that I received, I am sure that everyone who participated would agree that looking at the offers is as entertaining as discovering the new works!
Thank you to all of those who left me a word, I was really touched to see so many post-its! I haven't chosen which offers to follow up on just yet but if you really do want to have one of my works please do not hesitate to get in touch with me. I have other photographs from the same series and invite you to discover many others on my website:

For those who have a particular connection with the place shown in the large landscape (yes, it is the Justice tree, or Hanging tree near Court-Saint-Etienne), I would be happy to make a new print for you if you wish, I am glad you find it does justice to such an amazing place!
Je suis très content d'avoir participé à la dernière édition de Truc Troc, qui a eu lieu le week-end dernier au Palais des Beaux-Arts de Bruxelles. Deux de mes photos y étaient présentes, ce qui est drôlement chouette. L'idée de Truc Troc ? Des artistes exposent leurs œuvres, le public se promène dans les salles, liasse de post-it à la main, et propose (ou pas) des trocs. Libre à l'auteur, ensuite, de choisir ce qu'il estime intéressant.
J'aimerais partager avec vous les propositions (très peu indécentes) que j'ai reçues, car bien sûr cela fait aussi partie du charme de l'entreprise : découvrir les offres de trocs tout autant que les œuvres.
Merci à vous tous qui avez proposé quelque chose, vos post-it m'ont fait bien plaisir. Je n'ai pas encore choisi mais si vous avez vraiment envie d'une de mes photos, n'hésitez pas à me contacter. Il y a encore d'autres photos issues des mêmes séries, vous pouvez les voir sur mon site:
http://charlesklein.viewbook.com/
Spéciale dédicace à ceux qui ont un rapport intime avec Round About Horizon (oui, vous avez deviné juste, c'est bien l'Arbre de la Justice ou des Pendus, près de Court-Saint-Etienne) : je serais ravi de refaire un tirage si vous le désirez, et puis ça me fait plaisir si vous pensez que ma photo rend justice à cet endroit incroyable.

Inhabitual- The Powder and The Finger
Yep, I guess one of the good things about having a blog is that I can put work out there that I otherwise wouldn't.
This was a very non-typical experience for me, the Australian Rock Gods who go by the name of "Powderfinger" were in Brussels, and I somehow managed to meet them for a nice 8x10 portrait session. (Images might follow). I was really happy to have met them, I loved their music so much and the fact that they werent big superstars in Belgium meant I could approach them quite easily. I have always felt guilty about not having sent them the photos.
Those were hard days, and I was dreaming about making a job out of it- but it just ended up being the only group I ever photographed. Was there any future there? In any case it was a bloody good concert! :-)
