30 + one day

Well well, I've just had my birthday passed in almost complete silence... yesterday.

One old friend I saw recently before leaving France sent me 2 greetings msgs and of course from my family.

An almost lonely day if I didn't go out and spent the night, photographing outdoor with a new and young friend I made here thanks to photography. Yeah I'm now 30 ;)

Today is Monday, Aug 29th. My temporary and young roomate left me to return to her parents place. Her elder sister should take her room back soon. I started a 3 weeks jobs searching training this morning. Quite interesting!

Last Thursday, with a bunch of friends, we spent a whole day in a Safari parc in the south of Montreal. So here are some photos from that day, lots of fun "hunting" the animals during that safari.

Mid-August 2005

Gosh, as time goes by so fast...

I've been in Montreal for 2 months and a half.

Today is kinda another new start as I visited 2 appartments and went to a music video record to photograph a young female artist called IMA. The story about this is I photographed her show on a free concert during the Francofolies festival, taking place in this late July. I posted some photos I'm quite happy and proud of on a local forum. And another photographer sent me a private message telling I should send them to the artists (2 concerts of which IMA and the other is Catherine Durand who loved my photos as well) which I did. And few days after I got in touch with people of her agency who will use my photos to promote her and send to some papers... and early today, the manager called me to attend the record of her video... I took my chance and went there to photograph the "show", quite a good and exciting experience to live that. The photos will come pretty soon.

Aside is one of the photos they like and select to promote her during the concert...

Last Saturday was great because I went to a "footing" to walk a little bit with some people to the Mont Royal where I met a woman who invited me to come with her and her man to the international balloons festival... an event I dreamt to go but I have no car. So here are few photos I shot that afternoon thanks to these kind french people. Hope you'll like them.

Quiet Days

Today is Aug 02. Always lonely face to my laptop writing down few words.

I spent lots of good moments with friends, nice people I met. Fireworks were shot for the last time last Saturday. I got some good shots you can see below.

I expect to work hopefully soon. I applied a lot yet few feedbacks so far. But I keep faith and not desperated somehow.

Loneliness is hard to bear sometimes, mostly when you're far away from home, family and good friends you have. A job can keep you busy and from thinking too much of your conditions. Spend your days and money with less worries. The today sky and weather reflect my mood: cloudy and grey ;) The good thing is it is not too hot though. Storms should come soon ;)
