CURRENT MISSION

Developing photography interest and skills

ABOUT ME

I consider that movement is life (le mouvement, c'est la vie). And travelling is movement, no? ;-)
Despite, I am a little bit shy, I love to get in touch with new cultures. Photography helps me with this goal.

I feel also very concerned about ecology, trying to lower my impact to the environment. For exemple, when I travel in Europe, I prefer to use the train or the bus. If I take the plane, I always compensate the CO2 emitted.

PHILOSOPHY

I do prefer to be amazed by beautiful landscapes all around the world. Is a lifetime enough for that? Moreover, traveling by plane is almost an environmental crime nowadays...
Movement is Life. La vie est dans le mouvement.
And we always have to learn from somebody else. On a toujours quelque chose à apprendre d'autrui.

Interests

Travels of course. I like also Photography (own a Canon 70D), Computers, walking in Nature, Cinema and good Cuisine.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

When I was 10-11 years old, in a small vacation village for kids in the French Alps, I wake up in front of a beautiful landscape : a green island floating on white clouds.

In 1997, I drove in the same day the return trip Las Vegas -> Grand Canyon -> Las Vegas. Because I was told it was only a 4-hour drive one way, I rented a car for juste 1 day! I was almost arrested for over-speed.

In summer 2006, I jumped 600m with a paraglide (parapente) in solo after just 1 day and half tutorial (pente-école). It was at the Puy-de-Dome, in Auvergne, France.
