I started when I was a kid with a Pentax, then a Nikon F90.

Since the beginning of Digital, first I started to shoot my newborns all the time, then I quit shooting anything.

Too many pictures

I looked at my babies most of the time through the hole of a camera instead of the heart.

I started again 3 years ago, when I needed to look around me, out of myself.

As some king of challenge with my neighbor, with a contax G2 that this neighbor "gave" me (long term loan...), taking one picture per day, only.

It was like getting back to tasting what I shoot, enjoying the longing of a month to see that I've made dump or a picture I like. And liking even the picture though it was obviously not a good one! Liking the obvious defects better than the "flat" good image.

Anyway, I knew why I took the picture, whether it be of a scenery I liked, someone whose smile gave me strenght and optimism, the light and the warmth of the sun, or of a simple object at home...because I could not find anything of interest during the day, or because I could not get an amazed view for the most simple things.

Now, I'm still using this camera, though it's very old and uneasy to shoot (it blocks every time), and I am also found again of digital, with another flickr account. Both can not be mixed: process, texture, subject, treatment...very different.
