We were living in Boston since a few months when we decided to visit Philadelphia. It was our first Thanksgiving in the US, so we thought it will be a perfect long WE… I can’t remember how long it took just to find an open restaurant in the desert city…
Craftsmen
One hour from Boston, there is a place allowing visitors to see what it was to live almost 2 centuries ago, with real houses from that period (1830), or people working or cooking with old clothes and tools: Old Sturbridge Village. While the whole concept is globally fine, I found more interesting to spent time […]
Potentiality
Too often, I feel frustrated when discovering the images that I was the most eager to capture, because of the difference of what I felt when I stopped walking to look through the viewfinder, and what I see on the screen… I’m not talking about technical aspects, no, in fact, it’s more like if I […]
White Color Palette
When visiting Boston before our move back in 2014, someone said to us : “if you don’t like New England’s weather, wait 5mn…“ Indeed, weather changes can be spectacular, like just after that first snow storm end of January 2015. However, while the light was warm, temperature was well below zero Celsius, and my fingers […]
The Moon on the other side

It was the case for me during the Boston historic winter early 2015, when several snow storms brought up to 3m (100 inches) of white powder. While it was a pure logistic nightmare everyday, it […]
The sloping museum

Sometimes, we may not even be allowed to take pictures (!!), so forget about pro gear and fast lenses. It can be interesting to deal with all these constraints, while trying to capture only the […]
From Chennai to Pondichery
Taking a highway in India is an experience in itself, even when not driving but just sitting in a minibus.. But tolls are just as full of surprise, and certainly an unexpected place to meet people. There was this man selling fresh coconut drinks, with his umbrella and his incredible bike, waiting patiently for clients […]
The elephant’s eye
One risk in travel photography is to be overwhelmed by the discovery, and…to stay on the surface of the scene. Back home, we have our memories that will bring back noises, smells or general atmosphere, but for viewers, it may just be another photo. Whenever I can, I try to ask myself these simple questions: Why do […]
