Some architecture stuff + random portraits


Ahaha Clément one of my closest mate . Cool afternoon spent on drinking beers and playing pool


Old Foto, taken in december ( there were still the christmas decorations), some of my mates playing soccer table .

For these shoots, I went back in Saint-Etienne, into that strange building to test my 10/20 mm lens, so here are a shoot from downstair and upstair.


These fotos were taken in Saint Chamond (France), I tended to consider that city the worst city I knew , I mean it's all grey, not cleaned and very depressive . But it has some charms, I didn't know those streets and was surprised by that (not so far from where i work)

Amsterdam session




Welcome to my bloggo ,

I openedthis blog to upload some photos i wouldn't edit on my DA account. So here, you may find more varied works, unedited photos, more things !
I begin with the dutch session, I went there for almost one week (I finally had some holidays) I really needed to go away from where I live at this time so I've decided to visit that city to do some drug tourism, t'was fun . This photo was taken at the arrival at the central station, you just exit from the train station and you already have a good view of what Amsterdam is
I noticed that booking a room with a lot of advance, if you don't wanna pay a fucking price for a night
This was the church in front of my hotel, a bench of young dutch were drinking and smoking in front of it.

Dunno why I didn't take much shoots of the bicycles , there were plenty of them in the streets, it's quite surprising to see so much people riding in the street with old bicycles.

Some fucking pigeons, there were plenty of them there, I was pretty stoned when i took the shot, saw them and decided why not taking a photo of them lol.
These photos were taken in the Dam Square (I think it's the name, ain't sure though...) a big square/plaza where there were some interesting buildings with nice architecture stuff.


I was also surprised by the fact the street has lots of trees, I dunno if that photo conveys they idea, some streets were really green . Some shoots of the canals surrounding the city, they are very quiet streets for some of them where you can sit down on a bench and enjoy some stuff made in amsterdam without being annoyed by durg dealers nor cops , it was really cool there.
I've met a cool austrian girl named Carmen (sh*t I forgot her photo) who was also visiting the city by herself, then we had a walk along the streets together , and we found out these statues in a square, lots of tourists were taking photographs of them . I managed to get one shoot without the hord of tourists on it . I would call it 'the commander' .
This was an abandoned sofa in a backyard, I couldn't shoot the whole thing because an ughly scooter was in front of it.



A strange mixture of architecture style. I shall end with one my favorite photo (though the quality of it sucks), the weater the last days was awful, it was like rain/sunshine/rain/wind/rain/rain. As I was coming back to my hotel, it began to rain hard very suddenly, everybody was running to find shelters and on the other side of the side walk i saw that lady who was waiting for the rain to calm down. the tiny shelter she found was funny, anyway i took the photo too fast so it's a bit blurred :(
