We are on stand by. We put a lot of things on hold for the past 12 months or so. We had a glimpse mid 2020 and thought – Hey, we may have actually beaten this thing! – Only to be put on Stand By once again. But we have to look forward, there’s no […]Read Post ›
I’m sharing some images from January 2021. I haven’t done many walks this month so far. It’s been quite busy and tiring at work, although I’m not complaining. On top of that, the 6pm curfew is still on and is quite annoying to be honest. However, no lockdown yet, so I’ll stop moaning. Streets are […]Read Post ›
A little update this time. I don’t have a lot of new material lately but the good news for now I guess is that there is no another lockdown… Not for now anyway. The government has been teasing us for a week but no major changes so far. The curfew is still in place and […]Read Post ›
Must quit Instagram Must quit Instagram Must quit Instagram Maybe if I say it to myself often enough, it will eventually happen. This mindless, ad fuelled never-ending stream of like/dislike process is getting worse and worse in my opinion. We are becoming slaves to Algorithms and since Facebook has bought IG, it’s gone downhill for […]Read Post ›
Blog post number 300. Last Saturday, a few hundred people have gathered in the city centre of Montpellier to express frustration and give their support to the cultural places that have been closed for some time now.

Due to my working hours, I get to shoot way more often at sunsets rather than early mornings. Both times of the day are great to shoot, needless to say. Early mornings you can get these soft subtle colours, warm light. On late afternoons there’s more drama, atmosphere and deep contrasts. Here’s the sequence of […]Read Post ›
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 ›
