Amed (Indonésie) - Cette photo a été prise à 6 heures du matin (ne vous fiez pas aux données exif restées à l’heure de Paris) dans un tout petit village de pêcheurs constituée de quelques cases en bambou sur la plage. Les « villageois » étaient étonnés de voir un étranger sur la plage à cette heure matinale. Si je ne m’étais pas levé si tôt pour faire quelques photos du lever de soleil, je n’aurais pas fait la connaissance de cette petite famille. J’ai fait quelques photos des femmes qui allumaient le feu et des pères qui s’occupaient des enfants avant de se préparer à partir en pêche.

L'enfant manque un peu de netteté, mais je pense que l'image fonctionne tout de même.

Amed (Indonesia) - This photo was taken at 6 am (do not trust the exif data remained on Paris time) in a small fishing village consists of a few bamboo huts on the beach. The "villagers" were amazed to see a stranger on the beach at this early hour. If I hadn't got up so early to take a few photos of the sunrise, I wouldn't have met this little family. I made some pictures of women who lit the fire and fathers who cared for children before getting ready to go on fishing.

tu es sans doute l'homme que j'ai le plus aimer sans jamais lui dire , mon admiration , beau , intelligent je n'ai jamais vu que t'es qualités

le temps a passé et il y'a encore tellement de choses que je ne t'ai pas dites , le temps est compté , les rires se taisent pour laisser place aux larmes tu m'as tout appris mais pas a vivre sans toi

je garderais de toi ton nom , ton savoir , des souvenirs , des rires , des conversations interminable

pardon, pour toutes les deceptions que j'ai pu t'infliger et que tu as eu la decence de taire

et surtout merci .... je n'aurais pas voulu un autre pere que toi

j'ai tellement mal que j'en creve , attend moi j'arrive .....

* En montagne, à la limite de l'étage boisé montagnard, l'étage subalpin. Dans cet étage on peut trouver quelques arbres très isolés comme ceux-ci. Exposés comme ils le sont, les conditions d'existence doivent être un peu compliquées !

La mer de nuages renforce l'impression d'isolement des arbres, et de nous, elle isole du reste de monde.

* Father and Son. In the mountains, at the limit of the montane woodland, the subalpine stage. In this level you can find some very isolated trees like these. Exposed as they are, the living conditions must be a bit complicated!

The sea of clouds reinforces the impression of isolation of the trees, and of us, it isolates us from the rest of the world.

I am so hooked on chasing this train. I shot this on it's run between Mount Pleasant and Cadillac, Michigan.

La Pera è il falso frutto delle piante del genere Pyrus a cui appartengono molte specie differenti.

Queste in particolare sono state escluse dalla vendita perché imperfette, presentavano tracce di grandine e altre ammaccature, evidenti differenze di calibro e forma, durante la spesa al mercato ci sono state donate insieme ad un'intera cassetta di altre escluse.

The Pear is the false fruit of plants of the genus Pyrus to which many different species belong.

These in particular were excluded from sale because they were imperfect, they had traces of hail and other dents, evident differences in size and shape, while shopping at the market they were donated to us together with an entire box of other excluded ones.

I thank my friends for all the stars they lit up ^_^ as soon as I can I'll do it in the comments.

I thank all the visitors who observe and appreciate my photos ^_^

Paris (Cimetière Père Lachaise) DSCF7131

On April 25, 1962, Louis Marre was in Lansing to shoot C&O E8A #4028 with an eastbound Pere Marquette, stopped at the joint NYC-C&O station. The train appears to be running with an RPO, 2 coaches, a club-lounge, and a standard lounge car. In 1962, (I think) there were still 6 daily Pere Marquettes between Grand Rapids and Detroit, 3 in each direction. A scanned slide from my collection.

LSRC SD70Ms 6437 & 6436 power Y126 through Bay City, MI at a nice slow 10mph pace. LSRC 6437, which came from the Indiana Northeastern (and UP prior to that) is painted to resemble Pere Marquette E units that used to roam these rails

The train is actually stationery but in post I applied a motion blur to the background.

Rouen (France) S'il y en a un qui aimerait bien prendre sa retraite, c'est le Père-Noël. Il s'est syndiqué car, intérimaire, il ne travaille qu'un jour par an, et malgré son grand âge, il n'a pas tous ses trimestres. En raison de la pénibilité de son travail qui l’oblige à assumer une année de travail en un jour, il ne trouve personne pour le remplacer. Comme chez les curés, il y a une crise de la vocation.

Je l’ai rencontré et il a accepté de me donner une interview. Il dit avoir adhéré à une association contre la maltraitance animale et remplacé ses rennes par un vélo. Hors micro, il avoue qu’en réalité, ses rennes, il a été obligé de les bouffer pour survivre. Précarité oblige !

Quant à son vélo, n’ayant pas d’argent, il a dû le voler. Mais il a pris soin de ne pas choisir un vélo électrique car il est devenu écologiste et militant anti-nucléaire. Nous vivons une drôle d’époque.

Uber Santa Claus

Rouen (France) If anyone would like to retire, it's Santa Claus. He joined a union because, as a temporary worker, he only works one day a year and despite his advanced age, he has not contributed enough to have a full pension. Due to the arduous nature of his job, which requires him to take on a year's work in one day, he cannot find anyone to replace him. As with priests, there is a vocational crisis.

I met him and he agreed to give me an interview. He says he joined an association against animal abuse and replaced his reindeer with a bicycle. Off the microphone, he admits that in reality, his reindeer, he was forced to eat them to survive. Precariousness obliges!

As for his bike, having no money, he had to steal it. But he was careful not to choose an e-bike as he became an environmentalist and anti-nuclear campaigner. We live in weird times.
