Castle in Durbuy
On our bike tour through Durbuy. It’s always fun being out in public especially in very touristic areas, as we watch people walking and commenting on what we are doing.
Dam
This was a hidden gem and definitely off the beaten path. It was very meditative to have the sounds of the roaring water in the background. The soothing sounds of the trees blowing in the wind, combined with the water flowing by us, made for a spectacular experience.
Rocks entrance
Our first massage video in Dinant and we choose one of two entrances to the city. We kind of accidentally took this way into the city which actually ended up being the better way because of the scenic rock entrance.
Little street near the Collégiale
The sun provided us with amazing light this day. It was also the beginning of creating more symmetrical shots, which made us want to keep the table parallel when shooting. And it was also a first in a city, with people walking past us.
Hot air balloons
We were like storm chasers for this super fun video. We were actually on our way to a concert and we looked up and saw these 3 hot air balloons flying much lower than normal. We luckily had the massage table in the car so decided to find a good spot to make the video. A pure coincidence.
We had imagined doing a video with a few hot air balloons before, but getting them so close and managing to settle in before they passed us a real challenge. It was so quick that Lorraine even kept her shoes on.
And all this took place as the farmer was driving his tractor next to us.
The Galery
This was great and intense, being so much in public, but after it was finished, we felt like a job well done. It was interesting to see the looks of the people as the watched us and Lorraine even heard them making amusing comments especially since we were kind of blocking the walkway.
Atomium
The day was hot and full of people since the sun was out, but we found a parking spot just beside where we took this video. A little Belgian pride for Lorraine in making this video. The Atomium plus another Belgian symbol we used as a soundtrack: Sandra Kim, the heroine of her childhood who won the Eurovision Song Contest for Belgium in ’86.
Even though it looks like we have the site to ourselves, it was quite crowded that day. A family asked Lorraine to take pictures of them while I set up the table.
Japanese garden
In a Japanese garden. I really love how the lines of the house and the table match up nicely. Everything about this video was aesthetically pleasing to us. Since we were on a family vacation we had time and no stress to get a really good shot.
Big Wheel
This was a special one for me because I had my daughter playing the recorder.
Brussels looks very peaceful from this angle…a few cars, a scooter, a man on the bench next to us asking when is his turn.
Planes
We are on a mission to get the right video at this particular airport next to our house. This was the second try and was ok but we are patiently waiting for a better flight pattern of the planes. So keep watching and I am certain we will succeed.
Construction site
On a lit sidewalk. The backdrop of this was that it was recently once a meadow and then the city decided to construct some homes. We wanted a safe and unique place to shoot at night, we stopped at part of the construction site of the new neighborhood, where some paths are already well lit in the evening.
Playing at the Plaza
This was a challenging one not because of doing the massage but the set up required to pull it off. We had to find a parking nearby so as not to half to walk far with the table. Also with so many people walking around and looking at us, it was a little uncomfortable in the beginning. But then the curious reactions and smiles we received made it all worth it.

The Stairs of Hope
On the stairs in Nivelles. Speaking of symmetry, this video really captured the lines so well. That afternoon was an adventure as we searched for the coolest spots to shoot the videos.
The Fountain of Durbuy
I love the expression of the lady that walks past us. Totally makes these public outdoor massage videos worth doing! This was also very memorable because just a few days after shooting this video, Belgium was affected by days of rain which caused massive flooding throughout the country. The exact spot of this video was literally underwater.

Lockdown massage
This massage was in a way very political because it was during the covid lockdown and their was a curfew. So we decided to be a bit reckless and do a video infront of the neighborhood pub. Since most everyone was indoors their was no car traffic on the streets so even though it was not too late it still felt like a seen of a zombie apocolypse movie.
