An innocent photo walk in a lovely town in the South of France turns into a treasure hunt for exotic windows and garage doors 🙂 For those unfamiliar with Montpellier (France, not Vermont) it is an elegant city located close to the Mediterranean coast and home to a vast number of elegant stone buildings […]

So my son and I flew to Paris to meet up with my wife, who was there for work. What a wonderful week of restaurants, museums, and shops. After a decades long career in photography and related endeavors I don’t shoot professionally anymore, or at all for that matter. But the upcoming trip gave me […]

Meeting good friends, visiting Paris Photo, touring “alternative Paris”. And trying to decide whether I can live with a phone as my only camera. If the progression in the above mission statement evokes more than a whiff of a “sublime to ridiculous” in your mind, you’re right in exercising a healthy dose of skepticism […]

Dozens of American muscle cars in a rural village of Provence? I had to grab my best camera. Being a dumb dumb, I, of crouse, forgot it at home, and had to make do with my slightly ancient smartphone, the Samsung Galaxy S9. But seeing this riot of colours and shapes makes me feel […]

Regular contributor Boris Buschardt […]

Amiens is a medium-sized town (pop.: 150.000) 150km North of Paris, on the way to beautiful baie de Somme. Mention it and you get a yawn, or just no reaction at all. It used to be the capital of Picardie, a region sort of stuck between the Paris region, and the North. Amiens is this […]

Normal is something we all haven’t experienced in more than 18months. On this visit to Paris, from late October 2020 onwards has been like no other time I doubt and hope to never see again. Non essential shops closed, cafe/restaurants export/takeaway only for many months. No museums, no theatre, no cinema and no live cultural […]

A photographic walk through the modernising gigayacht shipyards in La Ciotat. My love for La Ciotat is a secret to no regular reader of this blog. The reason for this is how this small seaside town has managed to rise from the ashes of the closure of its main employer, the shipyard that used […]

Epicurean + curious. How about photographing more than landscapes or street, while travelling ? I was going to call this “Terroir Photography”. Terroir is a French word that describes an area of common culture and environmental factors (such as terrain and weather) that determine the quality of local produce. In many ways, Terroir denotes […]
