From behind (a small screen)

As always, I walked randomly in a demonstration this weekend. Today anti-abortion movement where doing their annual «Walk of Life». I did a specific report on this (soon to be online), but I also took time to observe the media presence in the demonstration. There was maybe 2 or 3 TV crew, about 10 photographer like me, but also a huge amount of spectator shooting the demonstration from behind their cell phone or point and shoot camera. Hundreds of witnesses all along the street, shooting the same moments than me just because they were in the street at the exact right time.
But wait, what was the role of the photographer again ?

Alone in the Dark (Huningue)

HuningueI’m spending a few days at my parents place in the city of Huningue. It’s the one and only place in France having borders with both Swiss and Germany.
But this doesn’t mean a highly animated place. I went for a night walk and I was amazed to see how the streets where empty compared to Paris night. It was around 10 pm and, in one hour, I saw about 10 cars and less than 5 persons and 3 cats in the street. What a strange sensation…

Occupy La Défense

Occupy La Défense

I covered the « Occupy Bastille/French revolution » a few month ago as the events were happening right under my windows (ok, maybe 100m away).

After a few month of inactivity and the Occupy Wall Street events, the movement came back as « Occupy La Défense ». The idea is to camp at the Défense (the Paris business neighborhood) until their claims are heard.
