  • Barcelona Mini-retirement
    • ]]>     First post in a while, didn’t really know where to begin so let’s do a little recap of the last months for me: Been to Barcelona, done a lot of shooting in Paris, got a little ill and didn’t had any feeling to post on my own blog for some months…

    Well it’s a new year now and it’s time for me to work again, and I can tell you 2010 will be a good year for me!

    I’ve done a little lifting on this blog, adding some new wordpress pluggin and I’ve changed my portfolio page using only the flash slider of flickr in it. Maybe I’ll do another website just to showcase my pictures or I’ll change the portfolio section again, don’t know we’ll see later.

    On another note here is a book you should all read: The 4-Hour Workweek: Escape 9-5, Live Anywhere, and Join the New Rich

    It’s a life changer, weather your a photographer, a student, a CEO, or just an employee in some big company, don’t be fooled by the title who look like a scam and do yourself a favor: buy this book! I’ll certainly talk more about this book and the Lifestyle Design on some upcoming blog post.

    This blog will be updated more often starting from today, I’ll talk mostly about photography and travel, so don’t hesitate to follow me on twitter, RSS feed, or on facebook!

    I you wonder about the photography on your left it’s a picture I took in Barcelona at Park Güell with my little Canon G10

Sure the different pictures were really greats and the “Deluge” theme is well approached and the ‘new’ serie “Présages d’Innocence” (based on William Blake “Auguries of Innocence”) in ‘3D’ is stunning but most of the press announced more than 200 photos and I felt like I was cheated.

    Should you go? Well if you are a Fan, yes! But if you never heard of David Lachapelle before, go buy one of his book or just search the net, you should see more than this expo can offer you…
