Here are my essentials for my week relaxing at Playa Gigante, Nicaragua.
I have some of a sweet spot for long exposure photography, so you will notice the staples there: tripod, 11-16, ND100, remote, and my trusty 70D.
Further essentials would be characterized as my go-to notebook and pen, Field Notes Pitch Black and Uni Jetstream, respectively.
I do not travel without my 24-105, and now, my SimpleJack custom strap. Wallet, iPhone, and silica packet for good luck and dryness.
lastly, I fit a few seashell findings from the beautiful beaches on the Pacific Coast of Nicaragua right in the front pouch.
It was a great week of clearing my head and relaxing but I am glad to be home.
Here is a list of the essentials for my week a la playa:
Herschel pack
B+W ND 100
spare battery
Farmfresh wallet w/ Cordoba
lens caps
Canon wired remote
Canon 70D + 24-105L
La Ocean Vista room key
Fotopro x-4i
Field Notes (Pitch Black)
Uni Jetstream 0.5 mm
Silica jelpack
SimpleJack strap
iPhone 5S
Various seashell findings
Tokina 11-16

Volume II of my temporary files opens on a difficult period of my life, during my rehabilitation at the Saint-Yves clinic following a fairly serious health accident (see my series « Heart Passages » published last year)
It ends at work, and in the immediate vicinity of my company’s offices.
(Because yes, I also photograph at work :-) )

Quick work in progress shot from my new desk. It's an IKEA solid Birch worktop, wall mounted edge to edge in my new home office. Current setup includes a 21" iMac, 22" Samsung TV for gaming / Netflix, iPad Mini, iPad Air, lots of Field Notes and my Midori TN Passport ... and a headless dog lamp, don't ask.
1) Olympus OM-1 The camera I carry generally changes on a roll-to-roll basis. Sometimes I might carry more than one. Currently, it's my original silver OM-1 loaded with Tri-X. 26 shots down, 10 to go.
2) Tokina 28mm ƒ2.8 On the OM-1
3) Zuiko 50mm ƒ1.4 Whenever I don't have the 28mm or 50mm with me, I invariably find myself needing it. Now, if an OM-1 comes with me, so do both of these lenses
4) R25A red filter I haven't been using filters much recently, but I decided to give it a go again. I'm also keen to see how many stops I lose with the red filter. Rating the Tri-X at 800 gives me some room to move there, and it's especially handy - and cheaper than a ND filter - to be able to cut down the light a stop or two on a bright day.
5) Y2 yellow filter I had an orange filter as well, once, but I have no idea what happened to it.
6) 357A batteries I recently replaced the batteries in my LC-A, and held on to the old ones for some reason.
7) Spare roll of Tri-x Like always wearing clean undies, it's good to be prepared.
8) AU$2.20 in change Doesn't buy much these days. Enough for the bus fare home, though.
9) Nokia 6500 A truly horrible mobile phone. Nokia have lost the plot recently.
10) Apple iPod But who doesn't?
11) Keys Keeping them in my pocket is horrendously annoying.
12) 2GB memory stick Full of important state secrets. Or not.
13) various bits of paper Receipts, mainly. Also, I think there's an itinerary from a flight I took a few months back. Why do I keep these things?
14) Nurofen Plus Painkillers. Fairly self-explanatory, really.
15) Dunlop 1.14mm guitar pick I don't know why. It's not like I'm the sort of person who has much opportunity to play guitar outside of my loungeroom.
16) Button I think it's from one of Tessa's jackets.
17) Ear plugs I really don't like wearing earplugs at gigs, but I'm not getting any younger and I don't really want to go deaf.
18) Bulldog clip Because I seem to collect these.
19) Lens cloth As a glasses-wearing photographer, I generally tend to have a lot of glass to keep clean.
20) Craft knife Another item I don't really have any need for outside of home. But I still carry one anyway. And, like every other one I've ever owned, it will stay in my bag, forgotten about, until the next time I go through airport security, where it will be confiscated.
21) Field Notes Brand notebook x2 One for boring stuff like shopping lists and reminders. The other for ideas. Guess which one is completely empty?
22) Field Notes Brand pen Mainly used to sign credit card receipts when the people in the shop can't find their pen.
23) Field Notes Brand pencil I prefer to use pencil in notebooks. Why I might need to erase my shopping list later, I'll never know.
24) Pencil sharpener Do I really need to explain this one?

Ellie was always using (read: “tearing pages out of”) Mad’s and my Field Notes books, so we gave her her own.
I like to imagine she’s writing “[ ✔ ] Bananas”

I had the joy of completing a notebook while volunteering my time and efforts in a small village in Nicaragua, digging trenches to run water to homes in need.
I wasn't sure what I wanted to do for the shot. After a long day of working with shovels, picks, and poles, I dumped everything out onto my nightstand and decided to shoot it with my notebook on top.
I ended up resting my notebook on a pill bottle and rubber cord keeper to give it the angle. I lit it with the bed-side lamp while standing on a chair.
I figured since we had such grand plans to provide running water to 60 homes, that it would be fitting for the aptly named notebook series.
Have you done something ambitious lately? I'd love to hear about it!
Volume III gradually expands the circle of my investigations around Rennes. We even reach the sea and go up to the capital ! Long live Paris !
(The series, in the Volume I, originally starts with a photo in my toilet :-) The road is beautiful… )
Over time, I've been collecting images in a temporary folder.
Not quite photographs, not quite intentions.
More like sketches, drafts, ideas - starting points.
Files meant to disappear, to die.
And yet...
This temporary album has eventually become the largest of all my projects.
Little by little, over the past ten years, it has traced a continuous line - one that, while not really leading anywhere, takes paths worth lingering on.
I found it meaningful to offer these stolen moments - once destined for the trash - a proper setting.
To build a true photographic object, something a little luxurious, maybe even deliberately too beautiful...
During the next weeks, i will publish all 4 volumes of these temporary files.
