Lumière d'automne

2011-10-19T08:29:00.000-07:00

J'ai toujours aimé l'automne pour ses couleurs jaunâtres, la douceur qui s'en dégage et ses reflets ambre sur les murs. Il y a 4 ans l'été se finissait et comme chaque année une nouvelle saison commençait. Avec elle, je disais au revoir à l'été, à sa légèreté arrogante et à ma vie insouciante d'étudiante.

J'enfilais des escarpins flambant neufs, armée de mon sourire je partais cv en poche rencontrer les multinationales pour leur dire combien j'étais indispensable a leur avenir.

Comme ces nouveaux magazines mode Automne Hiver qu'on découvre avec plaisir à la rentrée, je me plaisais dans mon nouveau rôle de jeune active mais tournais une page sur cette saison insouciante de ma vie.

Je rangeais mes converses, cahiers de cours, revêtais des vêtements qui font sérieux, car en entreprise on est sérieux. Je rentrais dans mon personnage. A défaut d'être au moins je pouvais paraitre.

Que reste il de l'été quand une nouvelle saison commence?

Kampong Glam

2011-09-25T03:38:00.000-07:00

j'aime bien cette idée.. don't be boring... alors que la vie a Singapour peut vite devenir assez boring....rester ouvert, etre original, c'est aussi l'esprit d'Arab Street

Les enseignes changent tous les mois, celles qui ont le plus de succes sont la depuis des années, mais des nouveaux challengers viennent chaque mois avec de nouvelles créations.

Certaines boutiques marchent et deviennent un nouveau lieu de rendez-vous dans la rue...

dernière boutique en date, celle des vélo de tokyo... super bobo de faire du vélo a Singap, sauf que pour l'instant le vélo est consideré comme le moyen de transport du "pauvre" celui qui n'a pas de voiture.

Aux créations des designers se melent des looks extravagant, des choses qu'on ne voit que dans ce quartier ou les tags et graf sont toléres.

Mais avant que ce quartier deviennent relativement alternatif, c'etait traditionnellement celui des arabes/mulsulmans de singapour.. Kampong Glam.. oui avec un tel nom, il etait destiné, a voir débarquer les boutiques de mode...

Le quartier a officialement délimité et dedié aux arabs, Malay et musulmans par le Jackson Plan en 1822. Ce plan urbain découpe la ville en 4 quartiers dont Kampung Glam

Voila pourquoi a coté de magasin tendance on croise des boutiques de burkas et autres delicieux burkinis qu'on voudrait voir disparaitre mais qui néanmoins rappellent l'histoire de ce lieu original

Face a la mer...

2011-05-17T08:26:00.000-07:00

S'il y a une chose pour laquelle l'Australie est vraiment fascinante c'est pour sa nature sauvage, féroce, belle et dangereuse.

Les plages, leurs lumières et leurs reflets dans le sable et les rayons du soleil filtrés par les nuages vaporeux. Parfois le ciel est si bas on dirait qu'on va pouvoir le toucher.

Les plages sont si longues qu'on en voit pas le bout sur la great ocean road... Comme si on pouvait s'approprier l'espace et s'affronter a la nature. La mer comme champ de combat, lieu de méditation, espace de jeu collectif ou chacun reste seul face a la puissance des vagues.

On se mesure, on essaie, on retombe, on recommence.. c'est bien ça le surf si j'ai bien compris...

On commence petit en Australie et on s'applique malgré les saisons difficiles et les requins menaçants.

Car finalement, si on se bat contre la mer c'est qu'on a bon espoir un jour de la dompter, et se prouver que, oui on est bien plus fort que la nature, nous les hommes.

End of the day

2011-05-12T09:43:00.000-07:00

After spending a long day wine tasting in the Yarra valley, we were on our way to the airport when we saw the sunset...

Living in Singapore I forgot about looong sunset and the beauty of the light slightly shifting from yellow to orange to pink...

I think I have never seen such a specific reflection!

sydney & Melbourne

Still have not decided if I prefer Sydney or Melbourne!

mes chères amies de Londres,

j'aurais beaucoup aime être avec vous en ce week end un peu special.. malheureusement Singapore est un peu loin pour un rapide week end...

pour rire et avoir 18 ans de nouveau...

prendre le train pour Bristol, la ville de la fete!

je me console en regardant les photos de notre dernière soiree filles car vous me manquez beaucoup!

Amusez vous bien !

Marie, Sarah si j'ai pas mis votre photo c'est pas que je vous aime pas mais la photo n'etait pas des meilleures!

Singapore by night

2011-05-06T11:20:00.000-07:00

...Oh quiiiiiiet night... before tomorrow's elections!

I will be following closely and with much interest what people think and what will be the outcome of this election..

the opposition was said to grow stronger, with the young crowd willing to see some changes and alternative choices.

They complain about the PAP and were told to have a "papa don't preach" attitude...

Anyway, let's see if their voices are heard among the majority..

Petits tracas entre ami(e)s

Petit post débile ou quelque unes d'entre nous se reconnaitront.

..... je me demande toujours pourquoi finalement...

c'est quand il est minuit que je me dis "ah! pourquoi je ne mettrais pas ce beau vernis blanc gris offert par ma copine S."... une voix me dit "mais tu as un meeting a l'aube demain, dors!" mais le démon du vernis est plus fort .."cette couleur t'ira si bien"..quel vicieux..

je cède, j'ouvre le pot, j'applique!

00:20 le vernis n'est toujours pas sec.

00:22, voila c'est sec!

Finalement on dirait qu'il y a plus de vernis sur mes peaux mortes que sur mes doigts.

Et c'est parti pour 10 minutes de retouches au coton tige...et ça, c'est sans compter l'étape "top coat".. autant dire se laver les cheveux sans mettre d'après shampooing (ça va pas non!)

00.45, je renonce, les peaux mortes et le top coat ont gagné... je tombe de sommeil... Au revoir monde matériel, mes rêves sont plus beaux que tes jours..

6:50 - (et oui si tôt!) huuuum, une belle journée commence! Regards vers le mur, regards vers la fenêtre, les deux yeux sont enfin ouverts... un regards vers mes doigts.......aaaaaghhhhh ça valait bien le coup de manquer une heure de sommeil pour avoir du typex rabou-gris sur les ongles...

la prochaine fois, c'est décidé je dors!!!

scenes from Hong Kong

2011-03-14T05:26:00.000-07:00

I was really happy to see people who do care about their look and dress up in Hong Kong

It is also probably related to the climate.. Singapore is just too hot to layer, wear a proper jacket...

I also quite enjoyed the city because it was not perfect with its graffities on the wall and the destroyed buildings...

walking up and down in its streets looking at the people

I love the look of this guy texting in Central Hong Kong

snowy Paris...mostly from my window...

2011-01-22T10:01:00.000-08:00

I woke up on a sunny day thinking I am so happy to be there when we have such a nice weather...

The next day the view from my window changed to a really snowy landscape... quite a change when you live in Singapore 30 degrees all the time climate!

still from my window..

the little bench looks really lonely in the snow

I used to go my favourite spot by the lake and relax. This day was so cold I was freezing over there and needed to watch my step because the roads were slippery

so I decided to go back home and indulge my self in a hot chocolate instead...as it suits perfectly with the snow

2011-01-18T06:33:00.000-08:00

on a quiet week end in Singapore.. boring but chilled... I decided to take a walk in the botanical garden orchids section ...

after alomost 2 years here.. the first impression was..shit! I should have tried it earlier! this place is really nice...

obviously you need to take a close look at everything . No need to rush...

It is always quite difficult to capture lights and colors from flowers.

Usually when I see photographers spending hours taking a pic from a tiny flower I find it boring.. and especially when I see the final picture. It is very hard to get a vivid result

After all it reminds me of landscapes they can be really plain and boring ..that's probably when the talent for composing a decent frame makes all the difference..

after this day, I realise I have a lot to learn..! Flowers can tell you beautiful stories but you need to know how to capture them

and there is technical skills involve but above all it requires patience

but sometimes it is just a question of following the light and colors

as if something was truly revealing itself only for you...

Singapore Photo Festival

2010-11-08T23:14:00.000-08:00

You probably barely heard of the second edition of the Photo Festival of Singapore probably because it was not very well advertised.

Even if the event was not a blast I think it is worth mentioning it since Singaporeans love photography and the city is doing its best to become an international centre for Arts.

Many events & exhibitions were taking place in the City around the annual theme of the festival: Human Nature.

From the ones that I missed... I wished I got a chance to see the Love Hotel work from Grace Kim. it reminds me of this show about voyeurism in London.

On Sunday, I took a look at the Old School at Mount Sofia which is an amazing place. It might look like a maze the first time you get there since finding your way around is a nightmare.

But when you take a walk inside its walls you can imagine kids playing around like back in the old times..there is something smooth and welcoming about the building even if it is big and white... I really like the surroundings...

The 2 galleries dedicated to photography located in the Old School are the 2902 and the Gallery.

In the Gallery I really enjoyed discovering the work of this Indian artist Palani Mohan.

Armed of his camera he followed the fanatics of Kushti an ancestral version of wrestling that is practised since 3000 years ago.

The work of Massimo Vitali was really impressive. Technically taking gigantic pictures of this quality and that detailed requires a lot of work.

His work is probably inspired of the post modern photographer Andreas Gursky - who is famous also for hitting sales record with a GBP 1.7 mio worth photography.

People in Vitali's work are pictured as small pieces in gigantic and beautiful landscapes, remaining us that maybe compared to Nature we are nothing?

if you want to know more about him {http://www.massimovitali.com/}

and finally I appreciated the work of Kris Vervaeke a set of pictures found on tombstones in graveyards... as the pictures are losing their original colors they suggest that there are fading away as the subject on the photography... reminding us that we are return to anonynity and human life is a paranthesis in the cycle of Nature.

All in all the festival was good initiative to learn more about photography and its evolutions... I did not mention all the "photoshop works" probably because I have a tendency to like traditional B&W old photography.

But technologies are playing a tremendous role in that they allow artists to let their imagination grow and fantasise about different universes. Zhao Renhui did a great photoshop work in imagining a parody of scientific expedition on a new island Pulau Pejantan.

But is this still photography or another form of Art?

Londres un jour ensoleillé, ca merite deja d'être souligné... la lumière douce et vaporeuse qui traverse les fenêtres et qui donne le sourire...

Traverser le parc, croiser les joueurs de tennis, se dire que non, vraiment , pour rien au monde je n'aurais aime être ailleurs aujourd'hui...

des jours comme ceux la, on les attend tellement a Londres que des qu'ils arrivent on se sent mieux, tout devient évident... beaucoup plus facile...

c'est peut être parce qu'ils sont si rares qu'on les aime tellement les jours comme ça...

les filles en maillot dans les parcs, les couples qui boivent du champagne allonges sur un paréo, les garçons qui jouent au foot....

chlorophylle...bouffée d'air frais

2010-06-07T07:20:00.000-07:00

Comme un besoin de s'échapper et de respirer...

... de prendre du recul ou de la hauteur...

...de voir du vert et de se baigner dans cette lumière ...

comme si regarder de plus près des choses très simples permettait de percevoir le ridicule de la vie humaine et de tous ces petits tracas matériels du quotidien....

ces tracas qui parfois nous détourne de ce qu'on aime, de ce qu'on est... nous font perdre la tête

marcher... se poser dans de l'herbe et observer... arrêter de se dire pourquoi, comment, que faire... et commencer a ressentir les choses, plutôt que des analyser...

... se detendre, revenir a soi... et puis ne pas oublier de voir les choses ...

et de rire surtout!

Tout ce que j'aime...

2010-05-09T07:44:00.000-07:00

Il y a des endroits parfois qui ont une âme... ce lieu m'a touché par sa simplicité et sa sobriété.

pas de prétentions spéciales, des belles pierres robustes qui laissent penser au passé de ce lieu...

Il y a des endroits où on se sent être envahit par une force, même si au final je n'ai pas spécialement la foi, l'apaisement que m'a procuré cette église était très spécial. Et c'est ainsi qu'il a réussi à me toucher.

Beaucoup plus que les églises gothiques qui combattent d'ornements et de vitraux plus magnifiques les uns que les autres, la simplicité de ce lieu m'a fait penser à un foyer...

un lieu ou on se sent chez soi... une harmonie sincère !

et puis il y a ce jeu des lumières qui s'infiltrent et qui donnent à la pierre cette couleur un peu rosée

finalement, je n'ai pas plus la foi que lorsque j'y suis rentrée, mais j'ai pu y resentir une force et réfléchir à ce qu'est un sanctuaire, un lieu de recueillement... est ce qu'au final la simplicité ne renforce pas la naissances d'émotions plus profondes?

Fifi is my colleague... and we had this idea of taking a few shoots of him a long time ago

finally we managed to plan an afternoon shooting and it was a lot fun

especially when the neighboors were wondering what we were doing on his balcony

Parfois les années qui passent nous donnent le tournis....

On pense avancer, progresser mais quand on regarde de trop près, beaucoup de questions viennent troubler notre vision des choses.

Comme si finalement vieillir et célébrer cette étape revenait à un faire un point sur notre vie...Le passé, le futur et donc la terrible question... que faire de notre présent?

Comme si tout se confondait et que l'enfant qu'on était parlait toujours en nous.

"je suis passé pour être présent dans ton futur" ... ça vous dit quelque chose?

what should we have for dinner tonight??

2010-04-06T09:48:00.000-07:00

what do you think? are you hungry?

I took this picture in Boracay. In the north of the country - Luzon and Ifugao area more exactly - we were surpised when we were told that they eat dog. which means any dog, even the one following us on the trek in the rice terrace is a potential target... watch out doggy dog...

2010-02-21T09:20:00.000-08:00

Attendre que les portes s'ouvrent, que l'opportunité se présente.

forcer le destin à force d'impatience. vouloir le changement, vouloir être le changement...

changer les codes, faire exploser les serrures...

se questionner et s'imaginer le pire, toujours, au cas ou...

et finalement s'ouvrir son propre chemin

This door is really nice - it belongs to the Chambre de Commerce de Paris

I like the funny shape and the color

This is the AMF building - the french MAS or FSA I know It's not welcoming at all

they look like bulls - or is it just my imagination?

Naive art

2009-12-02T08:28:00.000-08:00

OH, JOY!!!

The gallery Utterly Art* is having an exhibit of this artist Desmond Sim and I looked at his picture and read his statement and was immediately excited about his universe!

joy lies in simplicity he says

and I could not stop myself of thinking of this Picasso painting - a great one in my opinion.
it belongs to the blue period of the artist if I am not wrong.
Desmond Sim says : "I can never understand how people sometimes allow themselves to grow bitter woth age. How they wrap themselves with skepticism paint bitter pictures of the world in their minds, and then everything is miserable."

"Live intensely. Give wholeheartedly. Learn to laugh a lot...at yourself, at others, at the world. Don't worry to much. Don't be afraid. Don't be afraid to love. Love more. Want less.
That is the secret to a happy life. So simple, babies do it."

I would say babies are not smart enough to be conscious of the concept of happiness...but I will be cynical!

what is Naive art?

It is an art that looks childish and really simple to realize.
the colors, the shape and sometimes the lack of perspective could let us believe that it was
the work of children!
I don't know if you managed to see this one in real but it is amazing!
It is from Rousseau, called le douanier Rousseau.

This guy never saw the jungle and only studied it through books. An for the lions and the other animals in his work, he spent hours spying on them at the zoo.

So it is nothing but a childish style. Usually there are tones of work to get the expected result!

Anyway, I think Naive Art as cheesy American Comedy have the power to cheer us up!
And sometimes it feels great to think that small things in our life are not so important!!

* about Utterly Art, the show goes until the 13th December and it is located 229A South Bridge Rd on level 2. Keng hong is a fascinating art addict!

Halong Bay and Sapa

2009-12-02T07:49:00.001-08:00

Walking and walking on the road...
with the anti malaria pills that I took and made me sick
I was literally dying!!

This was the amazing sunset on the boat. Halong bay of course!

women on the market!

This reminds me so much of the song Quicksand of Laroux because of the video, so kitch you need to see it qnd let me know what you think!

Sapa - Vietnam

2009-11-29T08:46:00.000-08:00

Come and see Sapa

Wonderful landscapes

all the different shades of green!!

there are places were you can walk forever

cute girls that help you to find your way.

They have their very own outfit and jewels

I found them really pretty.

Sometimes they were asking for money to get the right to take their picture but most of the times they were asking you to buy their handicraft. good business!

This picture is so similar to one I took in Malacca! I can't explain why I have this fascination for young girls that are lost in their own toughts!

This baby face is adorable

and look at the twins!!

This mama was so funny, after I took her picture she came to me and ask to see her face on the camera. Then she hit me in a very friendly way because she found herself funny on the picture!

and this is a tiny snake which has the great power to kill you!!

4th Affordable Photo Fair

2009-11-23T07:31:00.000-08:00

LOST or LOVED...this what most people thought was written behind the guy on the picture. And the answer is .......LOST!!

For my part I have not lost neither my time, nor my money in taking part to the 4th Edition of the Affordable Photo Fair in Arab Street, Singapore.

The event was really great :-) The opportunity to make many young or more experienced photographers. Some manage to live from photography actually and
others rather keep a day job.

those are the pictures that I published for the event. I was limited to B&W because this set made more sense compared to my other works - according to the organizers.

London trains and St Paul's above, liverpool street below...

It is indeed very british!!

The public was eager to know
if those were digital or not?

the fact that most of them were taken in London
also made them special here in Asia

The one above was taken in S'pore... one of the few!

But these kitchen tools could belong to anywhere!

London and Stockholm ...

many people asked
Is it a real kid on the above picture?!

So guess which one were the best sellers?

The 3 first ones on the top and these ones below

received actually a very
good feedback from the public

Thanks to everybody who turned up at the fair. It was really great you guys made it and supported me. I was sick as hell and what could have been a horrible event turned out to be an awesome experience!

See u soon!

Studio shooting with a model that I don't know : CHALLENGING!

this kind of photography is called high key.

The background is white and the light is strong

One of my best friend is crazy of Tango. She loves the passion, the energy and the aesthetic of this art. I hope that someday I will manage to see her dancing and take her picture.

Meanwhile I discovered an another dance that is full of joy and tells beautiful stories. Its Bali fantastic dances

Welcome in a world of beauty and poetry

It's music is repetitive with the Gamelan playing again and again the same rythme. It is pure transe.

The dancer are so graceful and delicate , their faces full of energy and character.

Their dance tells us a story. The bird who was too self absorbed because he was too beautiful. A story about the need of humility.

Dancers are rather young and playful. As for indian dances, the expression of their faces and their way of moving their fingers really count!
