London's call

Hi everybody!

I'm really sorry for the delay but I had to pass my french baccalaureate and then I traveled. But I promise now that I'm back home I'm going to be a lot more regular!
So here's some pictures that I took last holidays in London, which is for me one of the most beautiful city in the world! I hope you're going to like it as much as I do!

This one is definitely one of my favorite picture from the travel, it's also the first one I took (on the airplane). You know now how I love the black and white effect!
Actually, this picture reminds me a lot of Baudelaire (French poet of the 19th century) and his vision of the human being and life: a simple opposition between an ideal, a perfection and what he use to call "the spleen" which means despair, a kind of hell, something really negative. An opposition between black and white as you can see in the picture. In his opinion, a just measure wasn't possible, he was divided between two feelings extremely contradictory.
To be true, I just think he was disrupted, a just measure is possible to reach even if it's definitely really hard because of our current society, where temptations are increasing, everybody wants more and more which augment the egoism in a certain way and people are managed by money and forget about the essential. However, we have to stay optimistic, not only because hope helps us to survive but especially because I'm sure we are able to build a better world. I mean, we have done so many progress, so even if at the same time we have done horrible things (like wars, I hate wars!) if we concentrate on positive goals we will succeed. I believe in the human being!
Moreover, according to Rousseau (Genevan writer and philosopher of the 18th century) Human nature is largely good, society is the corrupting force. I definitely agree with that statement. So, to conclude because I have others pictures to show you, life is like a game you're playing, on arrival you will have only two choices: Heaven and hell. But until that point, you will have to deal with reality which is a mix between both (a human ying and yong). Your biggest obstacle will may be society, so I think everything will depend on the sense of the road you will set (as you can see on the photo)!
But I'm not god or a philosopher, this is just my vision of the whole thing.

Let's talk about something less serious, during this trip I had the chance to see London under a wonderful and warm sun. This only instigated my desire to pursue my studies there, even if I know the weather won't always be that fine...

Ray Charles and Stevie Wonder - Living in the city

A ticket to Heaven

Hi everybody!

          This is how I actually imagine our last travel. An infinite staircase that we'll have to climb. And step by step we'll learn something about Humanity, about our reason to be here,  about the sens of our lifes, about the mystery which we'll never find the answer to! As you can see, I'm still perturbed about that. I still have some difficulties to understand our society which makes us always want more, even if material things doesn't mean a thing. So, at least even if I don't find the answers of all my questions here, I desperately hope I'll find it during our "second life".
Moreover, maybe good persons will have a short way to browsed to achieve their entry to paradise, and maybe that bad persons will never finish their climb and they'll have to do it infinitely just like Sisyphe in the Greek mythology, who was condemned to repeat forever the same meaningless task of pushing a boulder up a mountain, only to see it roll down again.
I hope you'll like this picture of the Louvre's staicase that I took last year!

The Rolling Stones - Sympathy For The Devil

First music video

Hi everybody!

I hope everything is going great for you, even if the weather those days isn't that good ! So here's the first music video I've ever made (I've ever finished to be true). And I'm actually kind of proud of the result, and I desperately hope that you'll like it too! We (Yasmina and I) decided to make it with Taylor Swift's hit I knew you were trouble because it's a beautiful song even if I'm not a hudge fan of hers. Moreover, we thought that the official one weren't in Taylor Swift's spirit (sparkling, and glowing in a princess way like her other music videos such as Love story or just funny like We are never getting back together or You belong with me) and in the same way it wasn't enough offensive or outrageous and shocking. We felt, even if the music video is composed of wonderful pictures, that it wasn't neither a music video in her spirit nor something new and a discovery about her. But that's just our point of view !
I wish you'll also like those pictures that I took during the shooting!

 

Contrused

Hi everybody!

       I know that's been a long time that I didn't post anything and I have to appologize but school is actually taking (even stealing but I don't know if I can say that) all my time, especially those days!
       So I'm not going to waste yours anymore, and introduce some pictures that I just took a month ago. I tried to express the feeling that I have of being controled. I mean especially now that I'm still at school, but even out of school I feel like we are manipulated by the society, the media, the politicians (so also by the media that serves politicians)... It's like there were not a real Freedom, because our thoughts and acts are actually directed. We can't really do what we want, there's laws (even in a democraty) but are laws a way to be free? I mean if people repect laws, we'll feel more secured to live our lives and that's actually an aspect of freedom. Besides, we can't really say what we want, because we're leaving in community and have to be accommodating with eachother. Moreover there's politicians who controles medias but there's also medias that are lying to us and that are trying to make us believe in things that aren't true or they're moving things out of their context and all of that makes me feel confused ! So at the end of the day, I feel like nothing in life really has a sens and that maybe our mission here is to find the sens. Then I try to sleep...

 

 

Happy new year !

Hi everybody!

First, let me wish you a brilliant new year 2013 with my best wishes !! And as the traditions want it to be, here's my new year's resolutions:
- More photoshoots,
- Make video clips, which will be great because it combines my two hobbys: photos and music!
- Develop my songwritting skills (why not?),
- Learn to eat with chinese chopsticks (I'll feel a lot more comfortable to eat chinese then),
- Practice more the piano,
- Taste new kinds of food (like indian or thai food),
Oh and maybe work a little harder at school, even if I don't really like it!
I think that's a great list maybe too ambitious, but if next year I achieve my goals and succeed in doing all these things, I'll be as happy :D and proud as can be!!
By the way, Here's a photoshoot that I took just last thursday! Do not hesitate to tell me what you think and what's your new year's resolutions!

Nature

Hi everybody!

Here's a post celebrating the nature and all it's marvels!! These pictures were taken ewerywhere in the world during different trips that I had the chance to make! I think that good creations and conception are all inspired by the nature, and that the best artistic realizations come from the nature with the aim of making us think about the place of the Man on earth. But I won't have this pretention, these photos are just illustrations of the beauty of mother  nature!

Hi everybody!

Paris is such a beautiful city, especially at night! I hope you'll like these pictures that I took last year during a freezing night in Paris where I had the chance to go up the Eiffel Tour without undergoing a huge queue!! Do not hesitate to tell me what you think!
