Once when photographing a renowned Japanese psychiatrist he was told: "You take photos the way a psychoanalyst counsels." &# Message from the photographer I spent some time from the end of 1996 through early 1997 in the Flanders region of northern Belgium. It was one of the coldest winters of the 20th century, with frosty scenery and frozen canals. Many of the people I met there seemed inured to hardship but determined to make the most of life. I spent a few days with a friend and his family who live in Antwerp, and many of the moments we spent together proved to be unforgettable. This is another of my personal journeys -- this time to the heart of Flanders. &# Original prints Original prints made under the artist's supervision are available for all the photos in these special iPhone / iPod touch collections.
