The first formal “curfew order” was introduced in 1918 by the British board of trade, which ordered shops and entertainment establishments to extinguish their lights by 10:30 p.m. in order to save fuel during World War 1. This is Le update to the current situation here in France. From mid December, we’re already under a curfew (8pm […]Read Post ›
I find myself making more and more images without people. Just something I have noticed lately while organising or editing final shots. It is certainly a result of less people being on the streets these days, first of all. On top of that, 95% of people that you’d come across in a city centre would […]Read Post ›
So here we are, rolling into 2021 and already there’s plenty of things to be shocked by. But I don’t want to go there. Like many of you perhaps, I’m thinking of my future goals for this year. No resolutions, no. Hardly anyone really succeeds with those. It’s more of a feeling of doing something […]Read Post ›
The end of 2020 is approaching fast. I’ve already summed up this year and the highlights in a previous post. I rarely go way back and look at my blog stats but today I did and I’ve noticed that my first ever WP blog post was written and shared in December 2013! That makes […]Read Post ›
As we approach the end of the year, I think it’s time to quickly glance back. But I have no intention in talking about the pandemic. Instead, I’d like to emphasise positive things that happened this year. For example; after taking a long break from blogging in 2019, where I only posted once… I have […]Read Post ›
A few more shots from that walk just before the streets of Montpellier got flooded with busy shoppers and just ordinary folk walking around the city centre, enjoying Christmas lights and decorations. I could still capture isolated subjects. It was strange and unusual during this time of the year. The city centre is ready to […]Read Post ›
The following images were taken just before our second lockdown finished here in France. I took this opportunity to get out later in the evening while the streets were still quite deserted. Photographing in crowds of people is not my thing so one good thing about this semi-lockdown was that I was able to get […]Read Post ›
This Friday’s friendly challenge is something Unique. A unique experience or something incredible that you have come across in your life. My first reaction was trying to remember and share something from the past. I began going through the memories of places and people I have met or photographed and then I thought, let’s slow […]Read Post ›
Another day, another photo walk. I guess we’re lucky we can come out few times a day but part of me thinks that this semi-confinement doesn’t actually do anything but harm our economy and mental health. In many ways, it just doesn’t make any sense. All non-essential shops are closed (small independent boutiques, hairdressers etc) […]Read Post ›
I took these just before we went into the second lockdown. This is a part of The Golden Pond of Montpellier and is situated a few kilometres out of the city. I used to work near this place. I got sick of the work but never got sick of that view. I haven’t been here […]Read Post ›
