It’s been brought to my attention that some of the content on DS is a bit “labour intensive” for readers. And that the occasional easy-going post would be welcome. Fine by me. Here are two suggestions that were recently spoken gently to my ear by Paul and Philippe and that could help us provide intelligent […]

The Spring photo workshop in Saint Paul de Vence is cancelled. It’s sad, it’s unfortunate, but there will be others, if you want them. Other workshops, and other resources and opportunities to have fun and get together. This is what this post is about. First things first: the Layer cake workshop is canceled. […]

Let’s not beat about the bush. I regret to let you know that, as we speak/read, the Layer Cake workshop is a no go. Most of the people who were initially interested have other obligations at the workshop’s dates, so there are not enough participants to make this viable. But maybe you’re interested and haven’t […]

Day 3, already. And what a day. As I write these few words, disorienting amounts of Gamay-tasting Shiraz molecules are disrupting my nervous system, making each keyboard stroke as easy as juggling in space. We have just left legendary restaurant Bouillon Chartier to conclude a very unusual day of photography and I couldn’t be more […]

On ne change pas une équipe qui gagne. That’s French for “don’t mess with something that ain’t broke”. So, since yesterday was such a hoot and the weather promised to hold, we followed the same plan of an early start … … coffee at our local joint … … metro to our destination … … […]

Recipe for fun is simple. Take a bunch of guys (where are the gals in photography, I ask ???) who spend an indecent amount of time talking about photography. Take a rather nice-looking city in unusually kind weather, wake up early, walk all day, feed at regular intervals. Paris is alive with the sound of […]
