As I mentioned in a previous post, a new curfew is in place in 8 major cities in France. 9pm – 6am is a dead zone and streets are empty. Well, I guess it’s not very good for night photography but we could still enjoy the sunsets right? These below are taken in the past […]Read Post ›
I’ve been going through my digital archives from yesterday. I’d say I remember about 95% of photos I took. There are some odd ones that stand out and you think to yourself – why the hell did I take a picture of that??? And there are some interesting ones that catch your attention and remind you […]Read Post ›
The streets were calling me that day. I love this time of the year. The sun is becoming less harsh and goes down earlier.

Last Monday in France all schools lifted their restrictions and for the last two weeks everyone has to attend the classes. Not everyone will for sure. Parents who prefer to keep their children home need to provide a valid reason or a certificate from a doctor. So it’s just like this. Teachers who had around […]Read Post ›
Montpellier is waking up from its 2 months lockdown nap. There are signs and stickers in populated places and shops. People keep distance in general or those who care do anyway. Thinking if you have a mask with you on the way out has become normal. You never know if you need to pop into […]Read Post ›
