Thierry Maindrault's Monthly Chronicle In this summer holiday period, it seems to me appropriate to tame the new environmental atmosphere that smokes out our fad: Photography. How are the different types of technology and the various systems of communication evolving to reach, to seduce and to satisfy the unconditional photographers?
