Sortir la tete de l'eau ...

It's taking more time than expected, but I am still working on my heart pulse. Taking pictures helps ...

The Water [My Man My Moon - EP] by Feist

Incorrigible ...

It doesn't provide the same quality or speed than my Canon 5D MkII, but with the equivalent of a 35mm 2.8 lens, a very small body with stabilization included, a nice viewfinder and 1600 iso that remind me my 350D, I think I found a new toy to play with.

As long as I don't look at my visa bill, it's ok... One day, I promise, I am going to be serious.

P.S: Who said I had my fingers crossed in my back?

P.P.S: Olympus E-P2

Cold Summer [We Built a Fire] by Seabear

I don't want to spend too much time on internet in the coming weeks. I just want to take pictures, prepare my new website, relax, meet new persons, eat and drink and visit new places.

Take care.

Juste pour la musique ...

Wolfboy [We Built a Fire] by Seabear

Respiration controlee ...

I close my eyes and see streets, local food shops and places I've been. I can feel the temperature, the taste of the food in my mouth and hear the noise in the market. In 48 hours, I'm flying out of Sudan and go to South East Asia.

Lay You Head Down [Keren Ann] by Keren Ann

A run bag and my photo bag on the floor; I'm gonna spend my weekend working, following a road trip through Darfur. I am already exausted and can't wait to be on vacation. The last days have been hectic. I'm just on automatic mode and struggle to stay quiet and not to start a fight with some lazy/incompetent colleagues. I have more and more responsabilites and despite the fact that I love being buzy, I sometimes have the feeling that I'm working for 5 but should receive more than 1/3 of their salary...
But in about one week, I'll be drinking beers and enjoying great food in South-east Asia. And it's a great motivation to accept any of my current working condition.

La vie, comme un long fleuve ...

I'm browsing on facebook. A lot of my ex-schoolmates are married or in a relationship, live at the same place than before and seem to have exactly the life I was predicted to them 10 years ago. They have pictures of their kids, house, cars, wife. Some are maybe already divorced.

I have two bags under my bed, boxes at my parent's house, a few stuff let to friends, work in Darfur under 6 months contracts (extendable), went to 5 different continents in the same year and I'm gonna spend one month in South-East Asia by my own. And if I get a working contract, I am ready to grab my two bags and to leave tomorrow for any places in the world.

I remember myself 10 years ago, few years ago ...

What's wrong with me ?

The Empty Bottle [Part IV] by Archive

Battements internes ...

Maybe I am wrong. Maybe I am fighting for something that does not exist. Maybe my notion of respect, my vision of the future and my way of spending my energy are wrong or naive. But for the moment, I just feel that I am learning, improving my skills and myself, trying to push my limits. And behind the inevitable presence of frustration, tiredness and doubts, the taste of inner appeasement and peace makes me think I am not totally wrong ... inch'allah!
