Hi there, It is rather the photography which chose me than the reverse, because it is for the admiration of a father that I fell inside... Besides, I have always bathed in this funny mixture since I was born and for 30 years it has been my way. I love the emotional and poetic force of black and white pictures and I seldom like color images which are mostly superficial. One cannot live without art as one cannot live without air or water. I distil quietly through this odd image box the impressions and fugitive emotions I meet here and there along my way.

In Benin the Klui-Klui is adeep fried arachide stick. Klui-Klui is made by groups of women that sell them on the market. It is a basic source of revenue for many families. I love the smiles and the simplicity of these faces. Their dignity is very impressive. Men are occupyed by running the machines. But they also mostly build and repair them. Their innovative capacity is impressive!

Dubrovnik (7 pictures)
A short stay there, the war seems to never have happen... Bodies and minds have not forgotten for sure. Some empty places, closed shutters, where are they ?
======================================================
Court séjour dans une ville que j'ai connue 20 ans plus tot, avant la guerre. C'est comme si rien n'avait changé. Bizarre l'oubli hein ?

Le moulin de Tencin - Old mill of Tencin (8 pictures)
Do never forget that: if you open your eyes you will see some suprising things... Here just a few minute from my home in France, an industrial valley in the Alpes, their is an old mill where people still make oil such as our grand parents did or even before. The gestures are same, skills from long ago, still alive. Think of Salgado's work on workers.
=====================================================
For French speakers: Qu'on ne s'y trompe pas, cet endroit n'est pas un musée, on n'y vient pas pour voir comment on faisait l'huile de noix autrefois. On y travaille et on y fait de l'huile,...

Saïgon (11 pictures)
Between 2000 and 2001, two visits in Saigon were the starting point of this work. Mainly taken by night these pictures illustrate my feeling of this huge and ever moving town. Traditions are still alive despite the modern face of the city. A paradoxical environment where the youngs do not see the olds and are attracted by the lights of the modern age.
===========================================================
Ces images ont été réalisées entre 2000 et 2001 lors de deux voyages réalisés au printemps. A cette époque de l'année, c'est la fin de la saison sèche. Il fait une chaleur étouffante et les gens attendent...
