Playing kid. Greece.

With its 8yo now, she acquire enough confidence to jump in the sea from rocks. She’s my daughter.

That’s the first time she realize completely the beauty of jumping and swim in a giant aquarium. Cyclades are like this. With 10m of water below, you can see all the details of the marine fauna and flora.
Astonishing!

Playing Cats. Greece.

Sometimes you capture a “so cute postcard”. 
It’s a mix of luck and patience.

I got 30 pictures of these 2 little cats. After had a look to the cats play, I decided of the frame, waited for a play in that frame. And then… well, magic happened.

That said, I’m not a cat - nor wildlife - photographer. But in Greece, they are everywhere. Lazy, waiting for food, fighting, following fishermen.
This is an entire world, if you take the time to follow their life.

Focusing error in Greece.
Dji Osmo Pocket in its Underwater Case.
So without  access to setting or focusing - framing only.
Dji Osmo pocket is one of the creepiest camera for photography. It shot 2 seconds after pushing the shutter button (in DNG), so you are to carefully anticipate action, and call all your luck.

For thus who are on holiday… happy holidays. For the others? Happy summer.

The Patio.
Downtown Antalia, Turkey, 2022.

It was a strange view point.
Roofs as far as the eye can see, and the sea in the background.
In the alleys drawn in this interlude, some scenes of life. Passing cars. And, in the middle, a patio.

A strange vision, arranged with 3 palm trees and strange objects. A plastic plane, the yellow loneytoon canary,...

The musician.

That’s hard to explain the feeling of this scenery. Usually, this place of Syracuse in Sicily is crowded. Full of people.
Maybe they ate, like me a succulent cannoli. But during a short peace of time everything stopped except the wind which transported the string melody from this musician.

He’s coming from Barcelona. Totally moving his life to find a better living, far from areas transformed by AirBnB business model. He loose his apartment after the owner announced a rise of his rent. The apartment is now on the rental platform.

He’s moving. He’s playing. Pretty well.

Past October, the Sete Cidades caldeira was flooded by intense rains. If the island made of volcanos and sub-equatorial vegetation is usually wet, this particular heavy rain has rise the water level on the inland lake up to 3m.

It results epic scenery where trees seems to grow in the lake.

Because the actual theme is #selfportrait. 
I’m not used to selfportrait, and mainly it exists only 4 photographs of me where I am recognizable.

Here I am. A glass member.

Lighted with a Godox AD300 Pro, a small AD200 Pro, and my homepainted black background.

Ponta Delgada - Azores

Somewhere in Greece.

When you travel a lot, that’s comfortable to find a postcard to photograph.
By taking time to “be there”, you’re able to disconnect from the postcard to move in an uncomfortable zone. I love to spend time somewhere slowly. Time is always the key.

Note that I also love to take (and send) postcards!

Loy Krathong - Chiang Mai - Thailand

This is one of these piece of time where you feel in the moment, anchored, just there. We had such a nice time at the festival, maybe because we had Thai friends with us, explaining the origins and spirituality around festivities.

But surely because we were there. Available for the instant.
