Same process as last week …

This is indeed photography, will you guess the process?

This portrait of a peruvian wine grower has been made on christmas day. This person was happy, opened and eager to chat with people who had come to see the place. He is holding a wine bottle of his own production and one of the two glasses we had for 5 people. Usually in Peru, there are fewer glasses than drinkers, so the tradition is to serve yourself a glass, pass the bottle to the person you want to be next, drink your glass and pass it.

This image is around one year old. Taken during a week-end trip to Etretat, I felt like remembering this magical sunset on this day of Christmas. I wish you a merry Christmas.

Lithe as a cat, Alexandra climbs the cliffs of Badami, India.

Not one but two pictures of the week this time! Indeed, I found funny to put together those two school pictures. The one on the left dates back to the late 20’s. My grand father is the kid on the bottom-left corner. The one on the right dates back to 1960. My father is the kid with plastic boots, I guess it was rainy that day Both pictures are from the same school in the little village named Huparlac, in northern Aveyron, France.

While having a lunch in Badami, we had the funny idea to order a “paper dosa”, a kind of thin pancake made out of water and soaked rice. What a surprise when they brought this giant piece of food, surely four time as big as the little stomach of Alexandra!

Auvergne, region of France located in the middle mountains of “Massif Central”. That’s where I come from. This photo is a view from the village called Huparlac, in the heart of northern Aveyron where lives half of my family.

Four weeks ago, I had placed here a portrait of my grandfather as the picture of the week. This week, I think a lot about my grandmother and here is her portrait. There are times when you are far away and pictures help you a lot to feel at home.

Berlin is a city with a particular history. I was sad to see that little by little the old buildings from the russian government are being destroyed to make room for new projects. I guess that’s necessary in order to keep developping the city but I can’t help thinking that those were some of the symbols of the city. The picture presents some photos from the communist times with in the back, the modern TV tower.
