As promised with the last print from Chernobyl, here it is: the wide-angle shot of the piano found at the Pripyat hospital. This room was certainly the place of ceremonies or presentations. You can see the much-vaunted bas-relief that I mentioned. A wonder! Today the piano is completely collapsed... -

Memory of my first trip to the Balkans in 2016… 5,500 kilometers solo and an extraordinary stage: a bay with six abandoned hotels in Croatia. I spent a whole day there. A true paradise. Concrete, nature and all with a view of an azure sea. In this photo the vegetation has returned so much that the view is obstructed but it is to my greatest happiness. I prefer green to blue! The geometry of the window and the false ceiling tiles add to the interest in this framing. Not to mention the fact that I'm a huge waffle lover. Still missing chocolate and whipped cream though... I still lick my chops every time I see this photo! -
It's been a long time since I offered you a Lusitano print. This is corrected. This room on the ground floor of a mansion is a marvel to me. Moldings on the ceiling and beautiful windows which give a basic character to the room, “cachet” as we say in French. A beautiful blue on the wall. A beautiful light that we feel penetrating through a curtain of ivy. And of course, nature is coming back, slowly progressing on this old parquet floor and will end up invading the space as it does each time. A marvel I tell you! I can't believe it took me this long to release this print, which has been one of my favorites since I photographed it. That must mean I have a few gems left in stock... ;-) -
I found this statue in the park of an abandoned thermal baths in Italy. It was along a path where there were several others. This one was the last, the clearest at the end of the path, the others being for the most part very covered by vegetation. So I naturally preferred it because it offers a more airy background and context. In addition, I took several shots while moving around the statue. This one was my favorite because I particularly like the tree that seems to emerge from it and which gives the whole thing a hybrid appearance. Moreover, I who love to break the rules, for once I respected one: that of thirds, a principle of image composition which consists of positioning the subject at the limit of the left or right third of the frame. It’s rare enough to be highlighted! -
This synagogue is located in a Jewish cemetery in Chisinau, the Moldovan capital. It is in fact the largest Jewish cemetery in Europe. It is partly active, so it is very easy to enter. The same goes for the synagogue which can be easily found while strolling through the cemetery. It dates from the end of the 19th century. I don't usually give as much information about a place but this one is known so the title of the photo was enough to find it. It’s a beautiful ruin as I like them with colors, textures and above all, a good hole in the roof which allowed the vegetation to return. Small detail that is important, the two stars of David on what was the main door clearly illustrate the fact that we are in a synagogue.
