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.
