The story

The second day in this beautiful city. I had planned to use the X-S10 with the Kodak Max 800 film simulation recipe, but the sensor had some dirt on it. Fortunately, I brought along the trusty X-T3 as well, so I could try out the vintage Polaroid look, which turned out great!

Charleroi 🇧🇪 & Vive la Fête, Charleroi 🇧🇪

Charleroi is a city and a municipality of Wallonia, located in the province of Hainaut, Belgium. The inhabitants are called Carolorégiens or simply Carolos.

For many years now, Vive la Fête has ensured an exciting musical party on stage. Since 1997, the Belgian band of Danny Mommens (ex-bass player of dEUS) and Els Pynoo has been bringing danceable electro-rock, with a touch of kitsch and some new wave and French chanson lurking in the background.
