Off-coast ship near Rouen, Normandy
Here are a few pictures shot in 2005 as a sort of well-wishing for this new year. These random pictures are some of the ones I like and which have'nt been posted yet.
This one illustrates our boat heading into the uncharted waters ahead, with both dark and luminous elements around. This will be another rough-sea year, but that's what makes great journeys...
This is about a different sort of journey, through the Paris underground world. This view on the stairs to the subway was shot in the very early hours of a summer day, at Opera station. The Metro has just opened and this is a rare glimpse on an empty mouth ("bouche de metro") that usually swallows thousands of commuters every day into its smelly otherworld.
This one looks like the votive pictures sold near pilgrimage places or in catholic paraphernalia shops. But this is just a picture I shot in northern Burgundy as B. and I were cycling along a canal. No post-processing here, and the colours, the clouds and their timing, everything waited for us to pass by. Two minutes later, the magic was gone...
2005 was such a year. A few miseries for a bag of beans, but yet many flowers for who wants to see them. When I dug up this pictures from my Hungary files, I thought I had shot it at the famous Nagyvasarcsarnok market near the Szabadsag bridge. The scene comes in fact from a smaller market on the other side of the Duna, in Buda : The one at Oktober 23 and Fehervari (terminus for tram 4).
Budapest subway phonesRosy shoes, rosy bag, rosy phones...Did these girls want to melt into the scenery, to add their own personal touch in the landscape?... The scene caught my attention as I walked by. I think this was in Deak Ter station, in Pest.
Sarah Jessica Parker visited Paris. She seemed lonely at times, with a dog as her only parisian confidant. Dogs gave her a few miseries by the way, as she stepped in dog's dirt on the typical parisian sidewalks. Next time, could'nt she just call me ?
