I meditate, do you edit me ?
That’s the question I’ll be asking a publisher. Are you editing me? Because that’s what I want to do: get published. Don’t worry, I’ll be using the formal form of address when I show him my photos. Funny photos to ward off an age that no longer contains enough joy to make life smile. Not very serious photos, but I take them very seriously. They require infinite patience. My images aim to bring a smile to the eyes of those who look at them. It’s hard to describe them. They’re…sometimes whimsical, often tender and occasionally a little cracked. Just enough to let a little light through. A life without light is like a face without a smile. My images draw on the poetry of Tati, the winks of Erwitt, the absurdity of Topor and the humor of Sempé. It’s my photographic conjugation. I Erwitt, you Tati, he Sempé, she Topor all are together in myself with smiles appear where you least expect them. And then, isn’t it said that smiling is human nature? So, despite the turbulence of current events, let yourself smile. Take a walk on the smile side.
