Voici une des principales attraction de Niko. Le pont rouge :-) Il pleuvait et l'atmosphere etait vraiment agreable (humide en fait :-)) .. Ca changeait de la folie de Tokyo !
Here is one of the main attraction in Niko, where we spent the week-end there. It was raining as you can see and add a nice atmosphere to the scene. Good relief from the craziness of Tokyo !
Les chiens ont tout ce qu'ils leur faut a Tokyo ... Hallucinant !
Dogs are also very fashionable in Tokyo … Amazing !
Lamode a Tokyo, c'est quelque chose ! C'est frais :-) Voici quelques exemples
Fashion in Tokyo is quite interesting. Very different. I don’t want to say it’s freaking out of this world but almost 
… Here are a few encounters …
Je prends enfin le tremps de scanner mes photos couleurs du Japon !! Voila les premieres prises de la mairie de Tokyo qui est l'un des building le plus haut de la ville. On a passe pas mal de temps. Comme vous le voyez, la vue est impressionante !!!
More than 3 months after coming back from Japan, I’m starting to scan my color print. It’s a lengthy process .. First pictures were taken from the city hall which I believe is one of the tallest building in Tokyo. We spent quite a bit of time in there as the view is just … Amazing !! Voigtlander 15mm f/4.5 and my trusted M6TTL (now replaced by a MP)
J'ai finalement craque pour un Rebel XT. C'est vraiment pratique, surtout avec notre nouvelle famille. Je continuie a prendre des photos argentiques. J'ai developpe 3 peloches cet apres midi ... Tout va bien !
Well, I’ve finally done it. Bought a Rebel XT with a 35 and 50mm lens. It’s just too convenient for this time for me. With all the portrait opportunity that my new extended family give me, I couldn’t resist. I’m very happy with the purchase and continue to shoot film. Developed 3 rolls this afternoon. It’s all for the best !
Plein d'opportunite photos avec 3 enfants ! En voila une qui doit casser toutes les regles etablies de la composition photo :-)
Photo opportunity are so great with so many kids ! 
Here one where I was able to capture the 3 of them. I like the composition which break almost every rules
Avec tous les evenements a la maison, notre petite fille n'oublie pas de s'amuser ! Ici dans sa maison de carton. Premiere pellicule avec mon nouveau Leica IIIf et 50mm summitar.
Well with all the happening at home, my daughter makes sure she has a lot of fun !! Playing with her ‘house’ made of cardboard. First picture with my new Leica IIIf and 50mm summitar.
Voila l'arrivee tant attendu ! Leo et Nicolas sont nes le 19 Decembre. Tout s'est bien passe et tout le monde revient a la maison vendredi !! Joyeux Noel a tout le monde !
Well, this is it folks. The family has been extended to 5 ! Leo and Nicolas were borned December 19th as planned. Everything went fine and they both come back home tomorrow with my very courageaous wife. Something different is about to begin, very exciting !!
Happy Christmas all !!
Voila mon entree pour le challenge PhotoFrdiay de cette semaine. Cette photo a ete prise avec mon ancien Contax G2 et son super cailloux le 45mm. Prise dans une petite boite de jazz, j'ai essaye de capturer la lenteur du morceau ainsi que le mouvement de la musique ...
This is my entry for this week PhotoFriday Challenge: Experimental. This was taken using my former Contax G2 and the super charp 45mm lens. It was taken in a small club while a jazz band was playing. I was trying to display the slow pace of the tune as well as the movement of music.
Voila mon entree pour le challenge PhotoFriday de cette semaine "Jaune". Prise a San Francisco avec un Leica M6 et Nokton f/1.5
This is my entry for this week PhotoFriday challenge "Yellow" This was taken in San Francisco using my M6 and Nokton 50mm f/1.5.
Cette photo est mon entree pour le concours PhotoFriday de cette semaine sur le theme de l'imperfection. Photo prise dans la ville fantome de Bodie en Californie. De superbes couleurs dans cette ville et de nombreuses opportunites pour ceux qui aiment la photo !
This is my entry for this week PhotoFriday challenge. This was taken in the ghost town of Bodie, California. Beautiful color in this odd city with plenty of photographic opportunity !
After Manon at 3200 iso, here is Manon at f/1.2 I’ve acquired a Canon LTM f/1.2 from 1963 and I’m having a lot of fun with it. I’ve written a quick initial report here
I’ll post additional pictures and thoughts on this lens later this week
Technorati Tags : Canon f/1.2
This was in a restaurant. They had some basket on a ceiling. Don’t ask me why … I don’t know the purpose of these. The just make a good picture imho 
This is my entry for this week’s Photo Friday challenge (”Purple”). This is an old shot of mine, taken with a Canon G2. A friend of mine offered me a flashing multi-color pen (!) that I’ve waved in front of the camera (on a tripod) for 8 seccond. Interesting results !! That’s something I like about digital. Being able to test stuff like that without worrying too much about film cost. I wouldn’t try that one with my Leica
picture of the day @ Mute: Leonard.
I’m always a bit hesitant taking picture of painting. After all, the real art is in the painting, not the photograph of the painting. But I like to share what I see, what I experience … And I wanted to share a small painting I saw the other day in San Francisco. Very colorful .. It really drew my attention.
I was driniking a beer with a friend in San Francisco and I was taking picture of people passing in front of us. Looks like this girl saw my little game but I doubt she understood what I was doing with my small blue box
Well, it was meant to happen. As I experiment more and more with new gear, I had to stop at the Lomo corner. Just got a supersampler on the Bay and shot my first roll this afternoon. I have to admit that it is quite fun and it requires a completely new way of thinking and open up a whole new world of creativity. I’ll definitely carry this camera with me quite often …
It’s been a while since I’ve been to Santa Cruz. I really like the atmosphere of this city. Berkley like but a little cleaner with musicians everywhere ! These 2 were nice enough to play for my daughter !!
AMAZING picture of the day @ Outafocus: John.
Another of my poster series. This one for a famous Vodka. I just liked the color and the setup of these posters.
Picture of the day @ Electrolite: Chair.
I’m not particulary found of writtings on wall, but these with the color and texture of the wall drew my attention. Wish I knew what the wrtting mean though
Picture of the day @ Shots Photography: Racing for life.
Saw this newspaper on some stairs in San Francisco. I really liked the contrast between the paper and these dark stairs. I felt they were meant to be. And every day they play the same play …
Picture of the day @ She broke my heart, I broke her face
One of the reason I got interested in photography, was to be able to document some key memory for my daughter. My parents did it for me (I always spend hours going thru family album when I go back home) and I wanted to do it for her. Writing is one of this moment. Of course she’s only 2.5 years old and doesn’t write yet. But she sure know how to use that pen !
This is one of the thing I like about the United States. Crazy people (sometime just acting crazy …) in the street shouting whatever is on their mind at that moment. Reading the bible, complaing about this and that … In Europe, we complain a lot as well, but we do it in group. It’s very unusual to see someone by himself trying to make a point. This guy was the best and the message … Well, it’s up to you. I think he has some good point .. Maybe a little extreme, but definitely confident about his point of view !! Only in the US …
Photo of the day: Style in Progress @ Mute
Well blue ie is indeed. This was an interesting sculpture in San Francisco, with a magnificient blue which remind me of the “Bleu klein” which I’m familiar with since Yves Klein used to expose quite a bit at the Art Museum in Nice (my home town). So when I saw this color, I was a bit back in Nice …
Photo of the day: Priit at Spekter
I love to look at panel of poster in the street, especially if they’re been torned apart. This was the case with this one. I have no idea what the scary part is all about. Maybe something about a movie, but it sure got my eyes !! All the colors blend well togeteher, I couldn’t resist !
I’ve promised color pictures, here is one from my walk in San Francisco this week-end. I actually passed in front of that woman and I thought to myself “She has some nice legs !!” .. As I was walking away I thought to myself “She really had great legs !!!”. I turned around and shot. At least she doesn’t have to sign a release form to be on 400iso.
I have finally decided to load my M6 with a roll of Reala 100. It’s been months since I haven’t shoot color and it’s been long enough in my mind. We’re going to San Francisco this week-end and you can expect some color pictures on 400iso next week ! Aren’t you excited ?
To kick off this color serie, a picture of my lovely wife taken last year. Playing hide and seek with my daugther
