...

Yeah no inspiration for the title. sorry. I try as possible to upload some photos which maybe don't worth to be uploaded but here 's my selection of some recent or old fotos. I might be a lil subjective concerning my own work, I mean sometimes I really wanna take them out and begin it again just because it's not like I wanted to be. I wonder if every photographers who have a blog think like that about their own blogs.
Ok I stop with that, so lately I've taken some photos on the pentax super ME (remember ?). I've already done 2 rolls (I know i know, I'm a beginner) but still wait to develop them. We've been talking a lot in the darkroom but not doing photography, isn't that weird for a photo club?
Hopefully I'll be processing them on wednesday and will get the negs next week. Gonna see if my scanner is good enough to get some decent results. So stay tune ;)

Kro playing with her green lighter, old stuff I've taken out my storage folders.
A complete fake smoker ! He looks real indeed lol.
Victory. Funny to capture player's expressions. Ca me rappelle des bons moments à Bas en Basset les blais .
Vince, taken by Jose. weirdo :p .
Remember the photo of the small reception at my parent's place? It was in fact a short play with local comedians from La comédie de Saint Etienne. Of course I was assigned to take some photos of it for my father, it sucked. I mean I like taking photos but while some comedians play so close I really didn't feel at ease to shoot them. The only good one I've done, as you can see it was pretty dark and I didn't use flash.
Lil sister. At once she accepted to have a photo ! Usually there's no way with her.

My mother play cello, I've done some photos of it for her (how cute isn't it ?) but I don't really like them. Dunno why.
Self portraiting in a bath room. Don't ask why I did.
Please Help me with such issue! I really wanted to have that scene composed by the grass, the sun and the car on the same frame. How can you deal with the camera to avoid that burnt side of the photo? There were cool tones in the sky instead of that messed up blank you can see on the photo. Putain de contre jour :(
Abandoned caravan. As I said on DA, it's built to be on the road but finish in ruin in some gardens or fields.
That's it for the photos... Will surely post another entry as soon as I'll get the negs of Ilford 400.
Take care

Snap blogger

Hi,

Been busy for a while with boredom. More seriously, I wanted to post some old stuff I've done for some a long awhile, more recents for others. So let's get back to the past, some shoots are taken with a A75 and others with my canon but with the classic lens 18-55.

What's the fucking aim of posting old work except fullfilling the blog? Well I wanted to show I've not always been doing photos of friends partying in black and white and done 'varied' stuff before.
So on with the photos, I apologise for the lack of logic stories and posts but I've got no general directions for that blog.


Biennale du Design - Saint Etienne
strange micro wave... the worst is that it's supposed to work !
Sainté ... those dull balconeys can become some kind of abstract cubes if you take the time to imagine.

Enjoy the dawning at Lyon, the historic ennemy city of Saint Etienne in soccerEsplanade de sainté, dunno why but I used to like distorsion on the photos. I still do but I actually try to take care about that and avoid it.
street shooting, big up to the painters , real art in the street !
Enjoy a moment at the countryside
Or along that lake.
Or visit the stunning Venice and its canals.
Sky always provides such good color tones after a storm
Back to Saint Etienne, the Espalanade roof top.
Back to Saint Chamond, fucking work place.
I'd rather take a seat in Amsterdam's streets.
And finally see how much time is running out.

RE: 1st post of 2008

Hi there, I hope everybudy had a nice christ mas and new year.
Concerning myself it was pretty cool! Though I was completly sick, it was still a good end of year.
Good dinners with the family, tasty dishes and eventually some days spent in the Alps so I suppose the fresh air helped me to feel better or maybe it was another stuffs lol.


Photo taken by josé, he bought a 350D aswell so took my lens and managed to shoot well. Anyway he was used to use it before having his own camera.
We couldn't smoke inside but the landscape was pretty nice though the photo is taken by night so unfortunately you can't have a view of it.

I don't remember taking that photo, I think someone took the camera and shot... anyway the smiling girl is Emelyne (dslé si j'écorche le nom).

dead sleeping fake rasta lol
wondering alien/skull
Looks like I'm being judged. a bit underexposed by the way.
Tonton mode tete de mort ahahah
I've got a weird feeling about that photo , the framing is not that good I think, the whole house would have been better but there were cars just in front of it. Maybe I could have used the 10 mm to get the whole landscape.
lol another fake rasta !
My desk , how interesting isn't it ?

That's it for the photos, I tend to think I'm kinda running in circles with my own photography style, I mean I post always the same shit.... Oh well
Ah yes, another thing, I'm really pissed off with the medias speaking a lots of Mr Sarkozy. Do I give a fuck about him and his new wife? no I don't and I think most of the french people are getting bored of it. Sometimes people really scares me cause what tends to be popular is the gossips on Britney, well the uninteresting jet people. Are we blind or cowards to deal with real problems on the earth? there are several even more importants than the new hair cut of any famous bitches of hollywood.lots of questions but no clues about the answers, bah mankind is that weid isn't it?

Cheers
