Lucky encounters (according to G. BACHELARD, there is no "Chance" but only disguised necessities), surprising encounters have developed my taste for photography, one medium amongst many to flirt with singular universes.

"Decisive moments" have often come my way, particularly through my encounter with the author (CARTIER-BRESSON) around INDONESIA and his photos taken around 1948, ending in a warm and firm shake of hands ....An incentive for me to continue.... A friendship with his " Black and White" printer eternal companion, georges FEVRE another incentive to pursue...

Taste for photos without intentional artifacs, whose Interest rests on the framing regardless of the power of its subject, it is the framing which gives power and strength to the photo .

Great interest for the photo journalism and their authors who knows how to mix information, testimony and art work in their own right
