On our way to Yellowstone two years ago, we had the chance to discover Glacier National Park. While the landscapes were not as unique as some other US Parks, it was still breathtaking to be there. It’s one of these places that push you to use a medium or large format cameras, just because it […]
Years ago, an experienced photographer who was not yet a friend taught me that while very few images are strong enough to be presented alone, some others could benefit from being grouped in a consistent set, ideally with multiple reading axis. There is nothing exceptional with the following pictures from the Moab area, but it […]
It is well known that sunrise or sunset are photographers’ favorite moments. Without considering light quality differences, I usually prefer sunrise for a simple reason: less people are awake very early in the morning that late in the afternoon.

When we arrived at Monument Valley that day, I was not sure to bring back any image. Sky was too white, light was too flat. For sure we enjoyed the spirit of that special place, taking pictures from time to time to be able say, hey, we were there… But finally, not long before leaving, […]
It was almost the end of a photographic journey in the western side ot Massachusetts. During the whole day, we were happy to forget about work, and to enjoy a shared passion for photography. Tired but in peace, while driving back on the Mohawk trail, we stopped close to a small brick house. As we […]
