Mon macbook ne m'aime plus. Moi non plus ...

It's 19H48 and I already want to go to bed. I started working 150% at the second I came back to my office, back from leave. Everything is a mess.
My hard drive, containing all the selected and processed pictures for my new website died while I was making a backup of it. By chance, I have a partial backup of my pictures in Thailand, Laos and Cambodia and a complete backup made before my departure. A lot of ideas, projects and meeting are in my laptop. It contains all the settings for my pictures, all my bookmarks, music, movies and admin documents. I lost everything and will have to wait 3 weeks before recovering a part of it. Meanwhile, I have to work, take pictures for my Master and have in 10 days a photography course where I am supposed to present my pictures. Headache...
Moreover, the political situation in Sudan is quite tense with the elections coming. Yahooo ...

P.S: But I have to see the bright side of live. In 2 weeks, inch'allah, it's "Garçon, un demi svp."

Soldier On [Conditions] by The Temper Trap

who wants to know
all that is gold is rusting
no one will know
when seasons cease to change and…
how far we've gone
how far we're going
it's the here and the now
and the love for the sound
of the moments that keep us moving

waves crash along
the battered, lonely lighthouse
tomorrow she's gone
and if not, someday somehow
are these hands a waste
well this side of mortality is
scaring me to death
to death

don't think about it at all
just keep your head low
and don't think about it all

soldier on, soldier on
keep your heart close to the ground
soldier on, soldier on, keep your heart
close to the ground

don't think about it all
just keep your head low
don't think about it
at all

yeah, will you take me tonight
yeah, will you take me tonight
yeah, will you take me tonight
ooooh... tonight

soldier on
soldier on
keep your heart
close to the ground

Tu me manques deja ...

Yesterday, I saw a future beneficiary for a radiotherapy. Female, in her 40's, smiling, goes to Thailand every year. Apparently, she spent her time sunbathing. She was not red, due to a sunburn. She was red roasted burnt, as if she had used acid to wash her face. "Our resort was amazing" she said, "we had seafood and cocktails every day".
Apparently, some persons seem to still ignore the word suncream, shadow or melanoma. I hope her clinic will serve tuna can ...

Intro [The Groove Sessions, Vol. 2] by Chinese Man

Meanwhile, I am spending my last day in Bangkok. I will miss the food, people smiling and posing for me, foot massages and my freedom of movement.
The Government of Sudan and one of the most important rebel group seem to want to negotiate a lasting peace agreement, important election are going to take place in the coming weeks and I'm afraid I will still have a lot of things to do at work. Wait and see ...

Reponse a la question ...

Vincent: You want to know how I did it? This is how I did it, Anton: I never saved anything for the swim back.

In space no one can see you smile ...

La drogue s'achète sur internet en quelques clics. Mon dealer a déjà mon numéro de carte visa et je n'ai qu'à tester la qualité, choisir la quantité et attendre la livraison. C'est commandable depuis un hôtel de NYC, Phnom Penh ou même du Darfur.

Apres 3 jours remplis de fraîcheur, de simplicité et de rires, je retourne m'étendre sur mon hamac. Et, sous perfusion auriculaire, je me sens sur orbite, flottant au dessus de Phnom Penh et du globe.

iTunes propose le dernier album de Bonobo et je pense arrêter la coke et les sushis tellement c'est bon.


Il m'a fallu plus de 7 ans pour me décider à utiliser les paramètres d'un appareil photo et à commencer à prendre en photo des humains. Moins de 2 ans après, on me proposait de le faire tous les jours.
Aujourd'hui, pour la première fois, j'ai dirigé qqn pour prendre des photos de lui. De quoi sera fait demain?

La vie, c'est comme une boite de chocolat. Je crois que j'en ai volé un conteneur entier, juste au cas où ...


P.S: Toutes mes excuses à C. pour son absence ici ... J'espère avoir la chance de réparer cette erreur.

A sabaidee to the world ...

Eteindre ses téléphones, fermer son ordinateur, enlever ses ecouteurs, prendre un velo et se laisser promener par l'Asie. Les choses sont parfois plus simples qu'elles ne le paraissent.

Time Left for Love [Our III Wills] by Shout Out Louds

Free food, free drinks, fancy clothes and a lot of success with girls... I'm seriously considering a new career path ;-)
