A photographing, acting, grilling, music loving law student

in introduceyourself •  7 years ago  (edited)

Hello everyone!

My name is Wout Kelchtermans. Currently, I am studying law but I have a lot of other interests besides law.

When I was 8 years old, I acted in a play for the first time and I was instantly hooked! Since then I have acted in various plays and got a small part in a movie once.

At around 9 years old, I started playing around with disposable cameras. I loved taking pictures and once I graduated to digital cameras, I started taking pictures of literally anything (I even tried to photograph series on tv). As a grew older, I learned more and more about photography, my gear got more and more sophisticated and today I am starting to get into off camera flash thanks to the Strobist website made by David Hobby (if you are a photographer struggling to understand flash photography: check out strobist.com!).

I also love fire. I can spend an evening just staring at the flames of a campfire, occasionally throwing on some wood blocks to keep the fire going. Pure bliss! I guess this is where my love for grilling comes from. As soon as the weather is slightly ok (and sometimes even when the weather is bad: umbrellas for the win!) I want to light up the fire and grill some juicy meat!

I am addicted to music. It is very much like a drug to me. I can’t go a day without at least a couple songs and I constantly need new songs, new bands, new genres... to listen to. This is why I am into almost every conceivable genre (including but not limited to classical, hip-hop, reggae, techno, deep house, metal, folk, trip-hop, jazz...).

I am also interested in law. Especially criminal law. This means I am currently trying to balance studying law with my various other hobbies and interests.

I learned about steemit through a post on facebook by @Vonwong. I plan to mainly write about photography but I may also write a few posts about grilling, theatre or music.

Thanks for joining the community woodzi! I thought you were actually a girl from the handle for the longest time XD - not a bad thing online.

CC on the intro, I think it would have been great for you to actually post a title that was a little less "list-ly":

Criminally passionate photography student. Literally.

And then you could have gone from there as a rebound point.

I love that you included personal narratives but feel like you could have done a better job expanding your intro to talk less about yourself, but more about your experiences.

The two are different because people don't know who you are (and so initially aren't interested in you). If you tell interesting stories, then they might care a bit more.

ie. Don't tell me that you love fire. Tell me that : Ever since this one night you lit your first fire, emotions that happened, people that happened, etc... you found a new found love.

etc.

make sense?

Thank you for the feedback, I really appreciate it!
I'm definitely a guy ;)

Criminally passionate photography student. Literally.

that would have been an awesome title indeed!

make sense?

Yes, totally. I will try to do better next time, using these pointers.

Hola and Welcome @woodzi
Nice to meet you @steemit.
I'd like you to check out my blog @joepike if you're interested in travels,
everyday inspiring photography and ''stuff''.✌

Thank you! I will check out your blog!

Alright @woodzi. I'm sure you'll find something for you.

Welcome to Steemit. Looking forward to your pictures.

Thank you! :)

Awesome intro-post (contrary to some opinion givers views) :D

This is one of my favourite things about the blockchain...everything is documented and logged forever (even the rubbish jokes and bad puns...Take note @woodzi!)

This recording of everything means that when we make an awesome friend here we can go back and psychologically stalk them learn about who they are and have a great retrospective understanding of our new friends.

I certainly hope to see more cool photography here very soon and maybe a little less explanation of how you are probably a secret arsonist ;)

Have an epic journey my amazing, funny Dutch Belgian friend!

thank you so much!! 😀😀

I'm extremely happy that I met you, Epicwood! It's awesome to hang out with ya.

Glad you took the time and effort to dig up this intro post 😁 I'm calling the cops and boarding up my windows

I do plan to post more photography once I get around to shooting people. I have some big plans for the summer.

See you around mate!

note to self: hide those tremendous amounts of gasoline, wood and matches

Welcome to Steemit Wout !

Thank you! :)

Welcome to the community! Always great to see a fellow photog interested in the beauty of flash photography!

Thank you! Flash photography is still very new to me, but I am trying to learn as much as I can about it and practice with it.
