Rouen (Franc) - J’ai connu Robin, il y a bien longtemps. C’était un jeune informaticien qui voulait devenir photojournaliste. Plusieurs tentatives en free-lance se sont soldées par des échecs. Il a dû reprendre son métiers d’origine pour vivre. Et puis il y a quelques années l'ultime tentative a été la bonne. La passion et l’opiniâtreté ont été les plus fortes.
Aujourd’hui, il diffuse ses reportages par l’intermédiaire de l’agence Sipa Presse.
La plupart du temps, il est en Afrique, particulièrement en Ouganda, pays qui lui sert de plaque tournante pour opérer sur plusieurs pays limitrophes. En ce moment, il est en France pour régler des problèmes administratifs qui lui permettront de travailler de nouveau en Ouganda. En attendant, il couvre les événements sociaux, liés à la réforme des retraites. Malgré une certaine précarité liée à son statut de journaliste indépendant, sa passion n’est plus négociable.
Chapeau l’ami !

Rouen (France) - I knew Robin a long time ago. He was a young computer scientist who wanted to become a photojournalist. Several attempts at freelancing have ended in failure. He had to go back to his original job to live. And then a few years ago a last attempt was the right one. Passion and stubbornness were the strongest.
Today, he broadcasts his reports through the Sipa Presse agency.
Most of the time, he is in Africa, particularly in Uganda, a country which serves as a hub for him to operate in several neighboring countries. At the moment, he is in France to settle administrative problems which will allow him to work again in Uganda. In the meantime, he covers the demonstrations linked to the pension reform. Despite a certain precariousness linked to his status as an independent journalist, his passion is no longer negotiable.
Hats off friend!

“The Reporter”
The telegram from his editor was clear. He needed to file copy by midnight. He threw his scarf down; poured himself a massive slug of bourbon; lit a cigarette and got to work. He started to type up the story of the gangland killings that would expose gangster and police chief alike. Suddenly, the phone rang. A familiar voice: asking to meet him urgently in the bagel bakery opposite. He left the desk and headed out. He never returned.

Between the 1950s and 1970s, colonial governments across the British Empire systematically destroyed thousands—possibly millions—of records related to war crimes, torture, and racial discrimination. This operation, known as "Operation Legacy," is not a conspiracy theory but a well-documented historical fact. Astonishingly, it was highly effective.
India gained independence in 1947, and in the lead-up to that event, British officials were so busy burning documents that there was a "pall of smoke" over Delhi. Just before Malaya gained independence in 1957, truckloads of documents were incinerated in Singapore. In Trinidad and Tobago, the colonial governor was advised to dump crates of records into the sea. During the Suez Crisis, a reporter observed that the lawn in front of the British embassy in Egypt was “ankle-deep” in ash from burned documents.
Records were also destroyed in other colonies, but not everything was lost. Some documents were hidden rather than burned. For instance, before Kenya's independence, 307 crates of papers were secretly flown out of the country to a facility in Buckinghamshire. These records were kept out of the official classification system, making them inaccessible to Freedom of Information requests. This act was illegal under British law, and the documents remained hidden until they were revealed in 2011. Today, they are available at the National Archives in Kew for public viewing. These documents exposed the colonial government’s use of torture during the Mau Mau Uprising in Kenya, with Britain ordering the destruction of anything that might "embarrass" the country.
Many British people are unaware of these dark chapters in their empire’s history. A 2020 YouGov poll revealed that a third of Britons still believe the British Empire was "something to be proud of" and that it left the colonized countries "better off." Remarkably, a quarter of respondents expressed a wish for Britain to still have an empire.

Rouen (France) - Lors de la manifestation contre la loi sur le recul de l'âge des retraites, j'ai eu le plaisir de retrouver des amis et anciens collègues. Angèle à la caméra et Fred au micro. J'ai fait cette photo au début de manifestation pendant une interview. Il est plus facile d'interviewer les manifestants quand ils ne marchent pas encore. Sinon le Journaliste reporter d'image (cameraman) est obligé de filmer en marchand à reculons. Un exercice difficile car les manifestants marchent souvent trop vite.
Pour la petite histoire Angèle est un peu le couteau suisse du journalisme. Elle filme comme on peut le voir sur cette photo, mais elle est aussi rédactrice et une excellente présentatrice du journal. Je n'oublie pas mon ami Fred qui est un journaliste de terrain et lui aussi, un talentueux présentateur du journal télévisé. Nous avons souvent travaillé ensemble comme chroniqueurs judiciaires.
Rouen (France) - During the demonstration against the law on raising the retirement age, I had the pleasure of meeting up with friends and former colleagues. Angèle on camera and Fred on the microphone. I took this photo at the beginning of the demonstration during an interview. It is easier to interview protesters when they are not yet marching. Otherwise, the image reporter (cameraman) is obliged to film and move backwards. An exercise that is not always easy because the demonstrators often walk too fast.
For the record Angèle is a bit like the Swiss army knife of journalism. She films as you can see in this photo, but she is also an editor and an excellent presenter of the newspaper. I don't forget my friend Fred who is a field journalist and a talented television news presenter. We have often worked together as legal reporters.
This ashy prinia was calling out loud, right at the break of the dawn to announce his territory and that fact that he's alive and flying to avoid competition for food, shelter and family!
The lower beak is slightly blurred due to the speed in which it was calling!
----------------------
The ashy prinia or ashy wren-warbler (Prinia socialis) is a small warbler. This prinia is a resident breeder in the Indian Subcontinent, ranging across most of India, Nepal, Bangladesh, Bhutan, Sri Lanka and western Myanmar.

Jasper briefly sat outside today to see if summer had returned. He quickly learned it had not and promptly returned to the couch by the fireplace.
