Escape for the mind, not for the body... || 2009 Cali Trip

I thought very hard, but couldn't come up with a decent title for this picture...

So let's just say that even though the subject should make you feel trapped, it has a completely different effect on me. It just makes me want to stop whatever I'm doing, go out and contemplate the unexpected beauties that surround us.

DPT || 2009 Cali Trip

Loved the colors on the sidewalks' kerbs of San Fran !
They are painted with vivid colors to indicate wether we can park, and why (firefighter only, disabled only, ...).  We spotted green, white, yellow, red, and blue ones, but I won't bother you with a pic of each of those ;) Well, not now at least !

Oh and by the way, for those wondering, DPT stands for "Departement of Public Transportation"... Just so you know...

More yellow lines, more concrete. || 2009 Cali Trip

But with a bit of red and shadows this time...

On our way from LA to SF || 2009 Cali Trip

And that's a pretty long drive....

I'm going, going... back, back... to Cali, Cali ! || 2009 Cali Trip

Well, actually, it was my first time ever, but I couldn't resist to borrow BIG's song to make it the soundtrack to that picture ;)

Now that I'm back at it, I'll try and post some pics from my summer trip, hopefully one each day.
Stay tuned !

Yellow lines and concrete. What else ? || 2009 Cali Trip

Just got back at processing my pictures from my L.A. trip, and wanted to post one as an appetizer ;)

The Wide-Eyed Crew is on display !

I don't think I even mentionned it here, but I'm part of a photographic crew that we've created a year ago. During the whole month of November, the Wide-Eyed Crew is on display at the French K-Wa bar, in Paris, and yesterday was the official opening party.

For more info, check out http://wideeyedcrew.blogspot.com/2009/10/wec-first-photographic-exhibition.html, and browse the blog and/or the flickr (www.flickr.com/wideeyedcrew). If you're in Paris, go give it a look !

Enjoyment for Depressed People

Can't help but wonder wether people actually have had fun on that big, lonely wheel or if depressed people were the most frequent customers, taking a ride in hope of clearing their heavy minds....
