By pascaljappy | Travel Photography

How do you know you should seek psychological help for your photo addiction ? When 90 minutes in a plain is too long a period to stay without shooting. Anything goes !

#161. Black Merc

By pascaljappy | Travel Photography

Walking the streets of Oxford a few days ago (will have more news about this soon), I stumbled upon this mean machine. It was dark grey and looked menacing.
