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....

Just a random pic I felt like posting.

HxC Rules !

Took me quite some time to start searching for HxC shows, and local bands here, but I finally met some people in the scene, and I'll try to stay updated on that from now on.

A few weeks ago, I went to see Arkangel for the first time along with Martyrs and Bloodshot. I was very surprised to discover Arkangel now features pretty much half of former Paris HxC band Es La Guerilla. I miss those guys ! It brought back some good memories of past HxC shows and the Paris scene from a few years back... Anyway, I love the pic above... I guess it represents what I like in Hardcore : some sort of a violent outlet to our daily worries, and openness to other cultures that people may not expect because they believe HxC is all about wearing black clothes, long hair, and eating babies ! lol

For more pics of that show, check out my flickr page : http://www.flickr.com/photos/sebchang/sets/72157621898281982/

Beauty And The Beast

I was driving around, coming back from a quick skate session at the Gardanne Ditch, when i spotted that big factory, hidden behind a wall of trees. The name of the yet-to-exist post immediately came to my mind, because of that paradox between the fountain and the flowers in the foreground and the factory in the back.

What I didn't know yet was that there was way more to it than just a couple shots... I went around, then inside the train station, and followed the railroad, stopping every 2 meters in awe because of a train car, railroad stuff, or that fascinating factory behind the fences... A couple hours later, my first real photoshoot since I moved to Southern France was in the books, and I was heading back home, with a satisfied mind...

I'm probably weird in some way, but I can't help finding that beautiful...

What do you think ?

Sittin On Top Of The World

Patiently Waiting

I'm back. Just a sample pic I stumbled upon the other day, thought it would be a good start :)

2009. New Year, New City, New Job... Same old self

No internet connection + Busy Schedule = No Updates.
Just a quick post to let ya'll know that I'm still alive, and put up my first pic from Marseille... As seen thru my eyes...

Catching up in progress / Change of plans

I haven't had much time lately for the blog, even though I had things to blog about... Sounds familiar, uh !? Anyway, I'll try and get back at it more regularly, but It might not happen in the near future... More on that later, but until I explain why, I'll just post some of the things I would have liked to post these last few weeks...

As for the purpose of this blog, I've changed my mind a little bit.... It was supposed to be a photography-driven blog, but obviously I have not been able to post pictures regularly. And even if I could, I'm currently considering signing up for a pro flickr account, or something similar, allowing me to have unlimited bandwidth and storage space, and have people checking / commenting my pictures more easily than on a blog... If you have any recommendation about such a photo sharing service, let me know. A free one would be better, but the flickr pro account is only $25 a year, so it's pretty reasonable, and it might be the best deal out there.

The blog would then only serve as a 'news' blog, allowing people to stay up-to-date with what's going on in my life, be notified of pictures update on that potential flickr account, and share whatever comes to mind...

Be right back !
