I’m releasing my lockdown photo zine this week through Blurb and I feel that by the time I’ll receive my copy we’ll go into the second full lockdown here in France. Ironically I’ll probably start working on the sequel… who knows. I’ve deliberated and couldn’t decide for a long time which company to use and […]Read Post ›
Hi guys, I continue my visual diary about the recent trip to the Pyrenees mountains. If you’ve missed the previous posts, check Parts 1, 2 and 3. As the clouds were settling down nicely over the village, we decided to take a walk through the forest and towards the nearby lake of Balcere. The walk […]Read Post ›
A few weeks ago I dove into my Fujifilm camera settings again, played around with some presets and stuck with the Velvia. I like the vibrant colours that it produces along with the high contrast to separate the subjects. Deep dark shadows work well and I can get the needed result with minimum editing afterwards.

Summer is in full swing here in South of France. There are days when you just don’t want to get out. Staying inside, hiding from the sun in front of your fan or air conditioner.

In some ways the interface […]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’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 ›
Week 5 of lockdown here in France and the longest part is done. Here is what I’d like to share with you this week. Once again, we had fun with my little Fuji and while I continued with my personal projects, I showed my youngest the double exposure setting so we had lots of fun […]Read Post ›
