TGIF: Todays New World / Antwerp

  Photography follows below.

From an early November 2024 result, I have been mentally and emotionally challenged.

The return of the game-show host whose show had been canceled 4 years earlier has caused personal trauma.

A few an explanations: 

1.  We now have leadership beset by confusion, uncertainty and mixed messages amounting to acts of self-indulgence.

2.  Global trade flawed tariffs, some of which are imposed on territories that are uninhabited, are stunning knowledgeable economists.

3.  There is no, with exception of a few large format wooden cameras, domestic production of cameras / lenses.  

Rather for the most part, photography products are made in EU, China, Japan, Thailand and Vietnam.

Responding:

Along with the early announced tariffs, the new additional ones with continue to increase the price of photography equipment as the added cost will certainly be passed on the buyer. 

So - After several months of planing upcoming photography projects and reviewing present equipment, have purchased, before the rise in price, a collection of cameras, lenses and printers to undertake this new work.

Enough of personal problems / solutions, let's move on to photography.   

Antwerp has a 2025 population of 1,681, is currently declining at a rate of 0% annually and its population has increased by 0.06% since the most recent census, which recorded a population of 1,680 in 2020.
