Ah, the agony of the blank page... Have no fear, I don’t consider myself a writer. Before I write, I have to choose a photo, a news story... Dilemmas, dilemmas... I have to comment on photos that appear increasingly superfluous to me, except... when a little prince takes ov...

The best images of the inauguration have not been published. They probably never will be. In fact very often, for any type of event, be it sports, politics, entertainment or nature, you might never see the best images. why ? Because the nature of today's image distribution ( and its ...

What a week! I don’t know where to turn. France went to Bamako, and in the grand tradition of the French army: “Move along, nothing to see there...” There was a large show of support against gay marriage in Paris this week. You can see in these photos, the same faces as a few...

Thumb_med_6-jpg

How many images do you take before you get the right one ? How many images do you have to see before you see the right one ? Both have increased exponentially in the last decade and show no signs of slowing down. Are their more great pictures in return. Do we see more masterpieces than...

Repetition. Our life is plagued with repetition. From the moment we wake up to the moment we return to bed, we spend our days repeating most of the tasks that we had done the day before. We talk to the same people, see the same place, think the same thoughts and return, somewhat exhaus...

It seems this year we've woken up on the wrong side of the bed. Like the same time last year, it feels as though the newsrooms are still nursing a hangover. Except for this astonishing image from Tasmania, there's nothing much to write home about. It's sad, but this week I ha...

The 77-year old British photojournalist Don McCullin recently announced his plan to travel to Syria on assignment. Why did he get involved in this mess? If I have to be Scrooge, then I’ll be Scrooge. I have nothing but respect and admiration for Don McCullin. It’s rare to be ...

This is the final review of the year. It’s time to take stock—but don’t count on me to do it. You won’t find any judgment here, qualitative or quantitative. Newspapers, the ones that still exist, continue publishing photos—less than before, certainly, but they’re still going,...

Photography is like a mirror. It compels us to define who we are as a person and as an individual. 
When we look at pictures taken in a faraway land, we only really look at ourselves.The picture you like , the ones that appeal to you reflect your personality, your tastes. They also rev...

The winter holidays are just around the corner, and before we know it, we’ll be clinking champagne glasses and ringing in 2013 (oh yes, already). So that’s why in this month’s round up of fluffy fashion images, some might feel a sense of overall calm, telling us it’s time to refl...
