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 over every newspaper to show off. The same one who dressed like a Nazi.

The outcome of the Algerian hostage crisis is tragic. Death was there from the beginning. No deception. Bad thinking took a toll.

I can’t help but comment on all this and take sides. If you think it’s exhausting, I can assure you, there’s comfort to be had in refusing to bear the unbearable.

Have a nice week.
