Around The World
Paris is obviously my main shooting spot. Nevertheless, other cities in Europe are absolutely great for street photography so I will post a few reportage / slideshows on the results of my trips.
TUSCANY
A Tuscan Comedy
Not only Italians are very photogenic subjects, but they are also extremely welcoming and playful. Life to them sometimes seems to be just a comedy. Click here or on picture to launch slideshow.
CHICAGO
People of Chicago
Chicago is one of my favorite city in the US. It is clearly a North American city with its high rise buildings and large avenues, yet the crowded downtown full of boutiques, terraces and animation do give it a little European touch. There is even a large sand beaches for the ones looking to come back with a nice sun tan. Chicago has it all, except maybe for its long and snowy winters. Over the next couple of weeks, I will post a series of three sound slideshow on Chicago. Today is the first one, dedicated to its friendly inhabitants. Click here or on picture to launch slideshow.
Capone’s Chicago
As a kid, Chicago only meant one thing : the city of Al Capone and his gangsters. Probably influenced by the many Hollywood movies showcasing Al Capone and the Prohibition years. Luckily, Chicago is now a modern and pretty safe city even though when one go out at night, he might suddenly feel like he is back in the atmosphere of the 20’s. This slideshows is the result of my errances in the dark side streets and misty nights of Chicago, looking for Al. Click here or on picture to launch slideshow.
BARCELONA
Feria de Abril.
While Barcelona is not the best place in Spain for Flamenco music, it also has a Sevillan type of fair which is called the Feria de Abril (April’s fair). Below is a soundslide on my errances between the numerous tents full of flamenco aficionados. (click on picture to launch slideshow)

A walk through Poble Sec
This second sound slides on Barcelona brings you in the atmosphere of Poble Sec, an immigrants neighbourhood located close to Montjuic. Opposite to the music that presupposes a violent quarter, the only weapons found are the smiles of kids and friendly inhabitants. (click on picture to start soundslides)
