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 ›
Visual expression is very often inspired by music for me. I’ve noticed it has always been that way. I’m not a person to have or think of regrets in life but probably the only one I have is that I can’t play any musical instruments. I have a good musical ear and I consider music […]Read Post ›
This is my last photo walk and I mean a proper photo walk, where I’m not limited with time or distance. Where I don’t have to justify me being outside. A city freelance, following wherever my eyes or a good light might take me. We are officially into the second (eased lockdown) as the second […]Read Post ›
Before we all get locked up again, I wanna make the best of this light. This autumnal air. It’s probably the best time of the year for outdoor photography. Thing is… we’re still in f***** 2020 and tonight our president will speak again and introduce new restrictions. A second national lockdown? Very possible. So let […]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 ›
As promised in the last blog post I’m sharing the monochrome images from our last beautiful hike around 12 lakes of the Carlit massif. Taken with Fujifilm X70, edited in Darktable. Thank you again for being here and checking this out. That week in the Pyrenees was an amazing experience and a true breath of […]Read Post ›
Continuing the visual diary on the recent trip to the Pyrenees mountain resort Les Angles. To see the first post, click here. On the second day, it was still hot. Too hot for the mountain weather. I checked the weather forecast on my iPhone and it indicated 28° Max… a slight sign. We came up […]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. […]Read Post ›
France is in a reflective period. Reflecting on health issues and a sudden rise in numbers of Covid patients in the last week or so. The second wave? Remains to be seen… For now though, masks have become mandatory in all close spaces. Whoever disobeys or simply doesn’t have one, a fine of 135 euros […]Read Post ›
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. Avoiding the heat is possible early morning (when I usually work) or later in the evening after the sunset around […]Read Post ›
