This week we saw the formal end of the lockdown in France which means you don’t have to justify why you’re outside anymore although the travelling distance is limited to 100km. Some other restrictions are still in place of course. Bars and restaurants remain closed for now. Educational facilities slowly begin to open with a […]Read Post ›
Hey guys, I hope everyone is well and healthy. Here’s what I’ve been up to in the forth week of the lockdown… Lockdown projects: “No Gravity” , “50 photos inside” , “Alone together”. This is the point in time when anything goes. Never mind what anyone thinks, never mind the rules and constraints. I just […]Read Post ›
Going through some old blog posts today. It’s always interesting to glance back and remember those moments, these thoughts, these images you made, that photographic learning process you were going through and realize that this is a never-ending learning curve. That’s the beauty. Well, this original post goes back to 2016 and back then I […]Read Post ›
We’re in the second week of the national lockdown. I hope you and your loved ones are ok. Blog posts are getting harder and harder to write as there is no new material to share but it doesn’t mean we can’t look back on our previous work and see, maybe there’s something we missed, a […]Read Post ›
From today, France is on quarantine. The state of emergency due to the Covid-19 virus is all around Europe. I still have to go to work in the mornings. All food supplies shops remain open and as I work in a bakery, I’m no different. Bakeries in France are close to religion and probably the […]Read Post ›
I’m still here, believe me, I am… yes, I’ve gone off regular blogging and slowly but surely moved to instant sharing machine – Instagram. It’s quick, it’s fun, it’s addictive. However, lately, I have also been considering going back to regular blogging, communicating with you wonderful people as let’s face it, the communication on Instagram […]Read Post ›
The quarantine lasted far more than 28 days but while photographing the post-lockdown city life and then uploading the images I couldn’t help but remember the horror film “28 Day Later” by Danny Boyle where the main character wakes up one morning to a completely new world and it’s far from pretty. Here in Montpellier […]Read Post ›
One of the last images of life in lockdown. While uploading the image today, I was listening to Thom Yorke‘s “ANIMA” record and the song “Dawn Chorus” came on. It was so fitting with the picture and how I felt, I just starred at it and listened to the song. Thank you for visiting, […]Read Post ›
This week saw me coming back to work after about 5 weeks off and damn it feels good to be active again. I wasn’t too lazy during the lockdown but it does feels great to be usefull and work in the mornings. The only thing I’ll miss would be waking up when I wanted… that […]Read Post ›
It was my weekend with the boys. The last weekend before they go back to school. It almost feels like the 1st of September… only with much less hype. Are they ready to go back? I guess so. They will be happy to see their friends for sure but I’m not sure they’ll be too […]Read Post ›
This picture was taken back in 2016 in the city of Arles in South of France. I remember taking a train from Montpellier on one hot summer day in August and going to see the famous annual Arles photography festival. Every year in August that city breathes photography. It’s an amazing atmosphere in the old […]Read Post ›
In four days people in France will open their doors. Some will open them slowly and with high precautions, some will kick them wide open. I am pretty sure however, that the city centre of Montpellier will be buzzing again very soon and we will all start to experience what the new normality feels like. This image […]Read Post ›
It’s time to take a glance back, go through the images I’ve taken for the past couple of weeks, organize the folders and try to make some kind of sense out of all of this. For this project, the set up was simple. I have my favourite spot next to the large window, which depending […]Read Post ›
People in France, like in many other countries are anxiously waiting for the lockdown to be over. Only one week to go, although I feel that the streets will be filled during the upcoming week. I see more and more people outside during my daily 1km walk. Some with masks, some without. I haven’t seen […]Read Post ›
This week wasn’t as active as the previous one but I still managed some things, edited some shots etc. Personal quarantine projects are nearing final stages. I think the overall atmosphere and feeling here in Montpellier and maybe all over France that people are very anxious to come out and be liberated from this lockdown. […]Read Post ›
