Short spin in Duluth

During my holiday in Minnesota, travelling from lake superior back to Minneapolis, I briefly stopped in Duluth and had a good vibe for the place. What I like most about this city was the discovery of the "old" side of the town, as I noticed the old adverts wearing off the old brick walls.

The diner, an American experience

In my opinion (as a European citizen), when you go to the States for the first time, you have to set foot in a diner. It's an experience not to be missed.

1

Just to have the sensation that you're in the first scene of Pulp Fiction or other American movies where dodgy dealings can take place...

It's also the knowledge that you can have coffee for as long as you want and that your eggs will be done exactly as you would cook them yourself at home. To perfection!

It's the smell of the warm blueberry pancakes and the maple syrup slowly drizzling onto your breakfast. All you can do is sit down, look around and enjoy the food and the experience. 

Before moving on..

What is your experience of the diner? 

The skies of Minneapolis

In downtown Minneapolis, when you look up, skies of lines, mirrors and reflections surround you. You feel small as they look grand.

Sortie la Part Dieu avec Image Contact

Image Contact, l'association photo dont je fais partie, organise de temps à autre des sorties, selon nos envies photographiques. Et nous avons décidé d'aller faire un petit tour un dimanche matin dans le quartier de la Part Dieu, au centre de Lyon.

Il y avait Serge, Matthieu, Chrystel, Charly et moi-même. Nous nous sommes bien amusés avec les lignes, les courbes et les réflexions des immeubles des années 70 (et autres) qu'offrait le quartier.

Aujourd'hui, je vous propose aussi d'aller guetter sur le blog d'Image Contact les photos des autres photographes. C'est toujours intéressant, je trouve, de découvrir les autres regards du même sujet. Nous incitons les intéressés de la photo à commenter pour échanger et partager cette passion.

A très bientôt.

City reflections

My latest reflections took place in Minneapolis during a family holiday and in Lyon during a photo outing.

Reflecting on these times, the family holiday in the US was fantastic and the outing with fellow photographers allowed me to take a step further into learning and searching...

The colours of Auvergne

Auvergne is a region I often visit as my parents moved there a few years back from Brittany. Over the time, I have taken photos of this volcanic region and today I decided to put my favourite ones together.

This series captures the colours of the countryside and the light of the region.

I enjoy walking in the countryside and learn to appreciate the natural beauty of the Auvergne region.

The Stacked Hay Man

Introducing people into my photos is not so natural for me, but I am working on it.

During this improvised shoot, the difficulty was to ensure the session would not last too long, as when the sun is as gorgeous as it was, there's a time limit for itchy hay into your back!
