"Flash lights" training

One thing I appreciate in my studio is to slow down and play with the flash heads without "making photographs" - just practice.
Here is an example of this play... It was after making a wanted pic (cf. previous post) and we just relax and test some.

So, THIS IMAGE IS ONLY A TEST (for later)!

Tomari, Japan - 2009.

Snow and so many things to do

Snow storm here.

I got the Preface for my coming book - so great - of course it is always a pleasure to read positive things about yourself!

Translations are slow - the French section took me for ever to write, too much ideas, too dense but hey! I am thinking a little before (and after) trigging the shutter.

I am going to warm up on the shower.

Good! it is always a joy to offer a copy of such well printed mag. to the models.

First sample

Our time in Guadeloupe has been a blast! Magic places, perfect weather, good food, cool people, some rhum, wonderful time. I have shot tons of pics of my Love, so just too much maybe. Time will tell.

Here is a first example:

Vieux Fort, Guadeloupe - 2010.

Just 2 pics I like.

St Brice Courcelle, France - 2006.

Alolicris II, Spain - 2006.

I should say "IDEM" now

IDEM! (as previous post)


Finally back to Japan after 2 weeks of vacations in Guadeloupe (French Caribbean Island) and 2 weeks of pro-meetings in Europe.
A ton of shooting, a lot of deep breaths, a bunch of wonderful meetings with Family & Friends, few troubles and one glass of Rhum only...


Thanks you to all (Estelle&JB, Laurette&Damien, Jörg, Laurent&Véro, Arlene...)


By the way, Happy new year 2010!
it will be a busy one...
