Stompin’ down Broadway

Come to listen the words beyond the photos. Each has a story! ____________________________________ From the series “New York by the bird” ____________________________________ I don’t only work with Manhattan skylines, and sometimes, I like to put my feet on the skids (long metal platforms of a helicopter), I like to twist the harness and to be […]

Indian soul flares

Come to listen the words beyond the photos. Each has a story! ____________________________________ From the series “Blood of Calcutta” ____________________________________ Many persons mix up style and subject, and it’s a mistake, at least I believe it. It’s a mistake because style is who you are, your wishes (toward a higher aspiration), desires (to communicate and […]

Shutter Manhattan island

Come to listen the words beyond the photos. Each has a story! ____________________________________ From the series “New York by the bird” ____________________________________ We come back today on my 2nd favorite skyscraper in New York (the 1st one being the Lever House). So today, let’s contemplate the Chrysler building (Art Deco, 1930, by William Van Alen, […]

Man as a risen ape

Come to listen the words beyond the photos. Each has a story! ____________________________________ From the series “Congorilla” ____________________________________ Rather than a fallen angel. I almost feel nostalgic of an age where Cro-Magnon men crossed the road of the Neanderthal neighbors. Of course, they were certainly rough, tough, even dirty, without knowledge about pasteurized cheese and […]

Concrete amphitheater

Come to listen the words beyond the photos. Each has a story! ____________________________________ Today, I wear for you the tour guide’s cap. Since the last NYC photo, we are a bit further up in Manhattan, still on the edge of the Financial district. You can see on the left (with the tiny bridges on it) […]

The unrevealed chronicles

Come to listen the words beyond the photos. Each has a story! ____________________________________ In all works you do on a city, you have to show, in one photo, that the street described by the visual signifiants is this unique place. Without title or text, the photo has to speak and say “I’m India” (at least […]

Walled up wall street

To buy this particular photo (in very limited edition) click on: Walled up wall street ____________________________________ On this day, the helicopter had for flight plan to hover above Wall Street (indeed, I didn’t have good photos of Trinity church), with the pilot asked to stay at the lowest permitted altitude. Of course, after a while, […]

With beauty and sorrow

To buy this particular photo (in very limited edition) click on: With beauty and sorrow ____________________________________ Sorrow seems to be the richest source of beauty. At the pinnacle of all arts, you know, there, where Muses gather, we have to recognize that Melpomene (tragedy) has a bigger influence than Thalia (comedy). The best evidence: how […]

The sleep of the just

To buy this particular photo (in very limited edition, exhibition fiber paper) click on: THE SLEEP OF THE JUST A gorilla, as on old warrior, was heavily sleeping with cheerless nightmares, keeping his hands clenched, curled over, farmer’s fists unable to open by too much callosities, cracks and rust. Hmm… A gorilla rather as a […]

The tombs of New York

To buy this particular photo (in very limited edition, exhibition fiber paper) click on: TOMBS OF NEW YORK Indeed. Burr, it’s cold. Cynical am I? Humm… Because what you see, right behind the steeple (right in the middle)? Well, it’s true, it’s Wall street. The skyscraper on the left is an art-deco building for a […]
