Salt farming is a very difficult job with skills passed down the generations. The salt pan workers have a difficult time ahead as the entire activity is at a stand still due to the lockdown.
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 !
profession reporter
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!

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.
