My Head in Hell

Long time no see

2008-07-31T01:37:00.001-07:00

Ooups, not been there in a while. Sick during holidays, then having trouble finding some balance... Life sucks, as everybody knows, but sometimes, on top of that, it's also very blurry and messy...

Anyway, in order to cheer us up a little, here's a picture of a cute cutie (note the cute cuteness of the cute :-P )

Found him on Cisoto Fotos :-)

The Black Reeds

2008-07-11T03:57:00.001-07:00

A few centimeters away from the spot wher I took yesterday's picture stood a couple of black reeds emerging from the green leaves and light colors of the plants around. I had to enhance the piture's exposure to make them shine from the beauty of their dark tones. I just love them. Perhaps will I crop the picture to make it look even better... Keep you posted!

The Purple Sky

2008-07-10T07:45:00.001-07:00

The weather is nice in Paris this summer, but still, a few clouds come and make rain fall for a few minutes every other day. On Tuesday, I went to yet another concert in the Jardins de Bagatelle. The weather was dangerously cloudy - it even rained during the concert, which create a very intersting ambiance in the concert room. During the intermission, the sky had unusual colors, which I tried to capture behind a small tree with orange flowers, contrasting with the purply aspect behind.

Paris Pride March

2008-07-04T12:25:00.001-07:00

Last Saturday was Paris' Gay Pride march. I was there, it seemed there was much more people than usual. It last for like for five and a half hour (from the departure of the head of the march to the arrival of the last people in the demonstration). As usual, gorgeous boys, great bodies showed like delicious merchandise. Except I didn't take the picture of a single one this year. Just didn't care... Gosh life's changing like hell...

The River Seine

2008-06-30T13:59:00.001-07:00

Once again, a picture taken a few minutes away from my place. Along the river Seine on a sunny Sunday. It looks like the trees want to protect the barges comfortably installed at their side.

The Indian Chestnut Tree

2008-06-27T05:25:00.001-07:00

Still coming from the park nearby, a really huge Indian chestnut tree, kind of the king of the place, but kinda lonely too... No cage like the peacock, but an astonishing sensation of loneliness, when he's the only one around to reach the skies.

But it is a well-known fact, that kings are often lonely in their majesty.

The Peacock

2008-06-26T23:58:00.001-07:00

This park near my office is the source of many wonders. Of course, it is often full of people utterly unable to appreciate the beauty of these wonders. Kids run everywhere without taking time to have a look, grownups eat or talk about work, which is even worse. I come and look, I use the beauty to isolate myself from the rest of the world.

And, from time to time, I take a picture. Like the picture above, of a peacock I disturbed while he was washing itself. Unlike the peacocks in the Jardins de Bagatelle, this one is in captivity, and I couldn't help but wonder if he had enough space in his really few square feet of a cage...

On catalog?

2008-06-25T13:10:00.001-07:00

Well I still have a few of my own shoots to post, but I thought I'd make an exception tonight: no flowers, no trees, just a very nice piece of meat (sorry, only pun I could come up with tonight, the anxiety pills are kicking in, I will do better next time)! I found him on Cisoto Fotos, which is one of my favorite websites, for obvious reasons! Enjoy!

P.S.: Many more pictures of the dude above if you go visit the link I just gave you :-)

A path of light in the skies

2008-06-23T10:25:00.001-07:00

Walking in the park near my work, I couldn't help but notice the contrast between the shadowy alleys, almost as dark as my thoughts these days, and the sunny sky of Paris, creating a path of light between the top of the trees in the park.

The Dark Tower of La Defense

2008-06-21T11:00:00.001-07:00

Shopping afternoon at La Defense. I couldn't help but notice there was a dark tower behind a little green forrest. Or are the trees in front of the dark tower?

Orange Tea

2008-06-20T11:01:00.001-07:00

This sort of illustrates how far I'm ready to go for a nice cup of tea. I wish that was my only addiction...

Concert in paradise

2008-06-20T02:45:00.001-07:00

Yesterday, I went to the Jardins de Bagatelle which are just the other side of the river Seine from my place. There was a piano concert, with Liszt and Chopin played beautifully by Olivier Gardon, a french pianist. The picture above was taken in the Rose Garden which is just in front of the small Orange Tree House where the concert was taking place. My hell is a paradise.

In the park

2008-06-19T14:38:00.001-07:00

There are but a few, who can see the infinite value of a single, perfect red rose.

Disneyland

2008-06-19T09:47:00.001-07:00

I went to Disneyland last Friday with an "old" friend of mine. This is me in the least ugly picture my friend took.

My nights in Paris - part 1

2008-06-19T07:20:00.001-07:00

Just having a walk in Paris yesterday, walked by the Centre Pompidou in a state of tiredness-delirium that made everything look pretty weird. Or is it just weird as it is ?
