European press review by Michel Philippot
It’s been a strange week, highly representative of the mentally sick world in which we live. Looking in the weeklies we find: a bombing, a newspaper that desapears, a murdered little girl, a rhinoceros getting its horns cut off (to prolong his life), the beginning of the Haj...

US press review by Paul Melcher
Emotions. Where do they go when everything is done and the lights are out ? What happens to these instant of joy, sorrow, pain, love and emptiness once the moment is over and the stage has been cleared? They can be recounted, sometimes, partially, with our words and our hands, if we ar...

US press review by Paul Melcher
For some, photography is a tool to depict news, another pencil, or keyboard. With a 1,000 words per image, it is quickly said, explained and then forgotten. So, in order to remain on top of the news, images become more spectacular, more gruesome. The more the blood, fires, destruction,...

European press review by Michel Philippot
I was prepared to explain my choice of photographs this week. But the news I heard on the radio cut me short: a large international company is going to eliminate 5,490 jobs across the world, including 1,430 in France. In response to this news, the company's stock value rose b...

European press review
by Michel Philippot
Photography is in trouble. The “experts” say so. To be serious, you have to give up a certain number of postures. First, to claim oneself an “expert” in photography. Many of them claim to be such even though they’re just gravediggers, having failed in their editorial and ...

US press review

7 days. That is exactly the amount of time that separates the events you see today from those you saw last weeks. Not enough to have remorse and too young to be real memories. Events follow and push each other even faster now that everyone has a camera. Or, more to the point, now th...

This week I must ask for your forgiveness. It wasn’t easy to show you a pumpkin farmer acting like a gondolier. What’s the point? Should I feel guilty showing you such an image? Certainly, yes. And yet it’s such a pretty picture for millions of avid photo watchers to enjoy.

US press review

Strange that both the Fall season and the month of September have become synonymous with fashion. From New York, to London and Milan, there is no week that doesn't see models gracefully walking a runway or frantically having their make up done backstage. It is also the month where fa...

European press review by Michel Philippot
The press is off the Olympics shaking itself like a wet dog. Someone should get a mop. The papers seem lost after these thrilling weeks, as if they were standing on the edge of a cliff and afraid of heights. Their headlines are filled with odd places, strange animals, and a...

US press review by
Paul Melcher
Maybe because it is Fall or just maybe because it global warming but somehow a lot of water has appeared in numerous of this weeks images. Far from the legal turmoils of a half naked princess sun bathing in the South of France, the world news seems to have taken a special attachment ...
