The crime I was talking about...

2012-01-29T02:49:00.000-08:00

with a flash light as weapon.

I plead guilty.

Improbabilité

2012-01-04T05:27:00.001-08:00

L'univers est une singularité de l'infini, la vie un accident de l'univers et l'amour est un artefact du vivant.

comme le temps ensevelira ton image.

De vagues perpétuelles

Used to be a wonderful place - I feel so bad.

TS lenses are fabulous

2011-09-01T02:33:00.000-07:00

Such a pleasure to play like with old large format camera - You can 'think' focus in much more wider sense. Tilt is by far my favorite.

When I saw this scene I was captivated by the beauty, this was a gift.
Quite happy with the outcome, but could be only the souvenir... this works for me at least...

L'îlet à Cabrit

2011-08-28T04:35:00.000-07:00

Just a fabulous place in the bay 'Les Saintes'.
A small island with only one habitant: Ulrich, the pottery artist / teacher.
After teaching the kids he told us: I have to leave for 2h or so, stay here and do what you want... Well the kids went outside to paint their pieces and - you know, I am a photographer - I have to make few photos.
I always look at places with a idea in mind so the magic light in the atelier was no exception! Especially with the mask series he was doing at this time...

Ilet à Cabrit, Les Saintes (France) - 2010.

Infinity

2011-08-27T04:31:00.000-07:00

This is surely the subject of reflection I enjoy the most - could be the more complex too.
Was always present around me during my Physics curriculum and early career as researcher, less now.
So I keep this sign, having an controversial origin, around me and my photographs - sure you saw it if you have checked my site or book.

Here was an idea of my exceptional daughter. Dad? how about making your sign here, on the sand, big?
Then, Anne couldn't escape this shoot! my other source of Infinity.

Montalivet, France - 2010.

Textures and Light

2011-08-26T04:21:00.000-07:00

Another photograph from this wonderful WE.
I love how the textures fill up the frame - responding to each other - and the way light helps to emphasize the female silhouette.

Enfin, une chose de sure: j'ai envie de poster d'autres photos.
J'espère juste ne pas avoir 'perdu' l'immense communauté des lecteurs de ce blog, well anyway.

Here it starts again...

having a pause...
need time.
---------------------

Les amants des prostituées
Sont heureux, dispos et repus;
Quant à moi, mes bras sont rompus
Pour avoir étreint des nuées.

...

En vain j'ai voulu de l'espace
Trouver la fin et le milieu;
Sous je ne sais quel oeil de feu
Je sens mon aile qui se casse;

Et brûlé par l'amour du beau,
Je n'aurai pas l'honneur sublime
De donner mon nom à l'abîme
Qui me servira de tombeau.

Mélange des genres

2011-04-11T23:16:00.000-07:00

J'aime beaucoup m'amuser avec les genres pré-formatés. Ces liens automatiques entre une pose, une attitude et un ressentit. Garder un setup identique et varier légèrement pour faire basculer la perception de l'observateur. Quant, en plus, il s'agit d'une femme nue des schémas de pensée très forts et pouvant être radicalement opposé existent. Le jeu n'en est que plus excitant.

Back online

2011-04-02T11:35:00.000-07:00

Back to France - had about 10 days of rest - 30h of sleep in a row.
Temporary time - living in family summer house, walking along the Atlantic beach near by.

Back online and back on full time work next Monday.

Thanks to all emails, comments and phone calls - appreciated - I will answer to all soon.

Tension & Stress

2011-03-15T15:56:00.000-07:00

Hi all,

the place where I live (Rokkasho, Aomori prefecture) has not been destroyed. The tsunamis have not penetrated into lands and I didn't see or hear about any structure or building been damaged. Significant damages start 50km South from here.
After few days of high tension and stress (shakes were really impressive and still going time to time), we follow the wind forecast continuously due to the activated material releases. So far the wind has been in a favorable direction (pushing to Pacific mostly) and should stay like this up to Friday at least.
There are also significant reduction in resources (gas, food...) and electricity shutdowns are planned in the coming days.

We are all fine but it just doesn't make any sense to stay here...
We should fly out on Friday 18th and arrived in France on 20th.

Thank you for all your messages.
Christophe

Let's start with Newton que j'apprécie autant que je déteste - inexplicable for now.
