Our winning photo for August, for the theme “Tasty,” is by Joris Dewe of Belgium. If you ask us, all of veteran street photographer Joris’ photos are pretty tasty. But we digress....

Untitled, Blankenberge, Belgium, 2018

We asked Joris to tell us more about this wonderfully quirky shot taken on the sea dyke in Blankenberge, Belgium: 

“This peculiar person came walking in the opposite direction. As a street photographer I had, as usual, the unconscious reflex to photograph it (Fujifilm X100F in RAW). Despite the back lighting, I was still able to make something decent of it. It was a summery day with a lovely breeze. I suspect that this guy is particularly sensitive to wind and therefore puts some cotton wool in his ears. In his chest pocket is some spare cotton. I had already taken some pictures of him before this one, which clearly didn't please him. The sign that seems to say ‘Room 4€’ is a coincidence. It actually says ‘Tea Room - coffee 4 €.’ In the summer I regularly go for a walk on the promenade in Blankenberge and have already taken many fantastic pictures there.”
