Please don't make her cry

It was a hilarious surprise to walk by this toy shop in Saida (Lebanon) and find this doll package !
Great photo shoot session Loryne ! ;)

Place de l'Europe

Place de l'Europe is situated in the 8th district of Paris, and where most of the streets are named after big european cities. Mostly; yes ! because one of the streets intrigued me.





I walked around in the area; from Stockholm to London.. (Amsterdam, Londres, Liège, Dublin, Athènes, Rome, Turin, Milan, Moscou, Budapest, Stockholm, Berne,Vienne,Saint Petersbourg, Madrid, Bucarest..).. and rue de Constantinople (Istambul now, capital of turkey) ! A street name that doesn't fit (yet?) in place de l'Europe ?


The negotiations are open, let's see what happens in 2015 and if Turkey will enter the European Union.
Anyway, rue de Constantinople will stay in Europe, in Paris !

One day in type

What would my day be without type ? I documented every encounter with a typographic element in the course of one day.

Zoom in and Crop

Take random zoomed in pictures, you never know how you might use them later.
Crop them to create a library of abstract pictures.
Like when i crop this "C" from the pharmacy sign, i get this result (below) which could work as a background for a music festival poster!

Yellow, Red and Blue dans la Seine !

Blood bath ?

Massacre at the airport ? Or simply people coming back from lebanon with good wine in their hand luggage..

Home

After "six billion others"

a project that showed filmed interviews of hundreds of people from all around the world, and which was presented at Le Grand Palais in Paris offering the viewer the choice to make the same filmed interview in a studio there http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x84wv1_entrevues-realisees-au-grand-palais_creation, Yann Arthus Bertrand teamed up with Luc Besson to make: Home.


Home is an ode to the world, seen through Yann's lense, with beautiful landscapes from more than 54 countries in the world, delivering a more direct way to understand the planet on which we live.

Home is out in movie theaters at a symbolic price, the dvd is much cheaper than any others, and you can watch it online for free too.

Non smoking flight ?

While on the lookout for my earlier post about no smoking signs, i came across this bathroom door on the Air France plane. Puzzling ! On the top you can see a no smoking sign, and on the bottom a sign that indicates where to put off your cigarettes !Can we choose which one to follow if both of them are valid ?
