Ps

Today I met Olga from Akira Mushi and understood why I like their clothing so much. I'll have an interview on the blog soon.

Goodbye 2011. It's been nice

We've had a lot to eat, to drink and to fight for. The first two are diminishing but fighting won't.
I wish a nice year to everyone. See you in 2012

Peggy Lee - Black Coffee

I've never told you that I don't drink coffee, right? I don't. I stopped it early, when I felt it was going to become an addiction. I don't feel like I'm missing something without it. But I got really attached to this song. Must be the mentionned nicotine



And please don't tell me it reminds you of christmas. This year nothing feels like Christmas

Métiers de la rue

Sometimes, inspiration comes from the unexpected. If not always.
I got the inspiration for my new project from another project that I put to my photography class (yes, I am a teacher now.not a very good one, but I'm trying) about colours. And I decided to start a project about people who work on the streets. It's started quite smoothly, don't you think? The only problem is: I've shot this with defunct polaroid 600 and there's no other film in this format that looks like it. The Impossible Project's PX680 is wonderful but the colours look nothing like good ol' 600. So, either I stop it in three photos or I begin the nightmare of looking for polaroid 600. Anyway, here are my two first photos:

The balloon seller

The bracelet maker

The movie

Last weekend, I participated in a 48 hour project that prepared a short movie. I did some plateau photography (with a polaroid. Yes, I know, I'm pittoresque) but mostly watched everybody else doing their job. And of course, tantalized the actors to photograph them better (although they were mesmerized by the polaroid. I won)

Here's my favorite:

I haven't seen the whole, cut and mounted short film yet, but I've lived a day full of interesting experiences.

Remember the post about all of my friends who quit drinking?

I see there are other people around the world who think like me (like Zora Strangefields for instance). Except my own friends haven't turned sane after all. It was just a little break from health-damaging extremeness. But we're still under 25...

It's raining chairs

au!

When fighting for your future looks merrier than Christmas

Yesterday night, the demonstration about the toll in the electric bill was magic. The public lights were all shut for two hours and people were coming in the dark with candles. And they were many.
