My contribution

http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Uploaded_by_Jean-Pol_GRANDMONT

I am a Belgian photographer, artist, and Walloon language advocate from Forrières (Belgium). I am well known for contributing over 12,000 freely licensed cultural and heritage photographs to Wikimedia Commons and Flickr. I am a retired SHAPE/NATO judicial secretary. Born on July 9, 1948 I have served as a judicial police officer in Brrussels (1970-1974). I have worked at Supreme Headquarters Allied Powers Europe as a judicial police officer (1974-1980) and judicial secretary until my retirement in 2004 (1980-2004). Passionate about photography, graphic arts and nature, I have downloaded over 12,000 of high-detail images documenting architecture, biology, geography, museum, nature and Walloon heritage. I have won recognition in the 2011 Wiki Loves Monuments photo competition. I remain active on Wikimedia Commons, where I communicate in French, English, and Walloon.
