Silence can be a more powerful weapon than words...because from silence you can feel being ignored by the other...

My last "baby". A baby that had a very long pregnancy.
A indie french song CD by my friend Ridro, reccorded by my other friend Max D.
I realized the graphic design for this album.
A pure "Made in Normandy" project...;)
The moment I created this cover is linked with a very special moment in my life, a moment I realized my life will never be the same...To have this CD between my hands reminded me about this moment of my life...
Well, before to be a designed product, it is some music. So, if you want to listen a part of this album and discover it, follow the link bellow : http://www.myspace.com/ridro00

As I always say, I am not a photographer, just a guy using a camera. I will never be a photographer...
I spent the most big part of my life to paint...painting was all my life, something able to absorb me completely during hours, days...
One day, I stopped all and burnt almost all my paintings for many reasons, complicated to explain, there was maybe 6 years now.
I know one day I will restart to paint. I need it, I need to find back a more physical way to create than with a camera, need to smell the paint, to feel it on my skin, to feel material under my finger tips. I still searching how I will do it, how to create something new, inspired by the past without to be just a copy of the past.
One day I will rebirth in painting...

A lady bug on my desk...in my office... (reminding me an other story about a lady bug in an office...)
Maybe the only living thing able to enjoy to spend of full day in an office...If she wants to exchange with me and take my place in this office and let me to explore peacefully a flower under the sun...this deal is ok for me...;)

When I am reading to the the way scientists can describe the reaction chain of pheromones, I just prefer to close my eyes and to think how those pheromones magically work in our lifes...just because it is more magic to see the magician makes appears a rabbit in his hat without to understand how he does that...just because what we feel when we kiss someone we love will be always greater than any explanation about why it is so sweet and so magic...

Poem for a moped...

Each morning in my street, I cross this metal pony rider's...
Wearing his blue worker cloths...
Like a picture from the past...like my childhood memory coming back in my mind mixed with the smell from the gasoline and  some cheap teen spirit...

Paracetamol

(pronounced /ˌpærəˈsiːtəmɒl, ˌpærəˈsɛtəmɒl/) or acetaminophen (/əˌsiːtəˈmɪnɵfɨn/(USAN) is a widely used over-the-counter analgesic (pain reliever) and antipyretic (fever reducer). It is commonly used for the relief of fever, headaches, and other minor aches and pains, and is a major ingredient in numerous cold and flu remedies. In combination with non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and opioid analgesics, paracetamol is used also in the management of more severe pain (such as postoperative pain).(source : Wikipedia)

Well...to express it in an other way...just the after saturday night best friend..;)

Two candles...
Two symbolic lighthouses lost in the night...
Five hours...like if the time could make dry the distance between two hearts...
Human being has mastered the fire and since this day he won the fight against fears from his nights. Human being still have to find how to master the complicated alchemy of love.
He tries to keep the flame burning in hearts, but sometimes rain of fears, wind of passion put in danger the flame...this so precious flame.
Human being still have to deal with the darkness of his heart and the possibility of a not eternal flame.

A kind of boring day...so boring that I finaly decided to just shoot an old mini Austin right in front of my door. I don't like cars. I don't enjoy the fact I own one. No dreams about that. I just think the guy who designed this car was able to put a little bit of poetry in an amount of metal.

During a walk in the forest this evening, I found that tree on my way...I am wondering if this change about leaves on trees is a causality of global warming? 
Forests are hot..;)

What became Hopper's nighthawks ? The lonely drinker must still drinking alone but now in front of his TV. The man and the woman who were having a coffee together ? Maybe they just finish by realized that the night should end one day and the daily light might come on the fact of temporality of feelings ?

I love the infinity of  the night and its magic flavor...those coffees shared without to think about the next day...

(sculpture by Pollès - detail)

Physical pleasure is a sensual experience no different from pure seeing or the pure sensation with which a fine fruit fills the tongue; it is a great unending experience, which is given us, a knowing of the world, the fullness and the glory of all knowing. And not our acceptance of it is bad; the bad thing is that most people misuse and squander this experience and apply it as a stimulant at the tired spots of their lives and as distraction instead of a rallying toward exalted moments.

Rainer Maria Rilke

Preparing a Henri IV chick for the dinner...Maybe 3 hours of cook before to enjoy this so simple and tasty recipe...Good things take time...;)

The river told me : "I don’t know how far the ocean is from here, but I only know one thing. I must still continue to flow and to try to get the ocean . Because to flow until the ocean is the goal for a river to get, and I must try to do it, even if I never get to the ocean."

I understood deeply what she meant. I feel sometimes like a river and whatever complicated and long could be the trip, I must still continue to flow and get the ocean of my dreams...

The end of this afternoon. A sweet moment spent to listen to Patrick Cohen at the piano, playing some Chopin Nocturnes.You feel in Chopin's music all the passionate way to be of the man, his hurts, his loves...Chopin and Sand had the reputation to spend their time to have very passionate fights. Still the fact that it still a magnificent love story filled with tenderness...Just magic. Just a moment I wanted to share...

On my way to the swimming pool...The only place right now where I can feel with a lot of imagination,

Autumn is growing up day after day... Autumn that I wish filled with sweetness... Autumn that makes me think about E.E. Cummings writing... "A wind has blown the rain away and blown the sky away and all the leaves away, and the trees stand. I think, I too, have known autumn too long." A mix of autumn and heart... And writing those other words from him : "i carry your heart with me(i carry it in my heart)i am never without it(anywhere i go you go" ...I still want to believe in a greener spring... Hearts know...when hearts sharing...

An extinguisher...

The kind of tool we should have need one day to stop the burning fire of bullshits from my dear president, his son and all their friends...
My ancestors cut few heads in the past and then my country became one of the best democracy of the world. This glorious part of the history is over now. This country is becoming a big amount of shit, letting us just history books to remember how this country built values of a better world...

Sometimes, I feel like if to not get enough coffee in my day is like to not get enough love. Then, you just have a hard time to get enough energy to quick your ass. Love and coffee are my fuel in life...;)

11/10/2009

One day, track of time will stop for all of us and then we will become angel dust...Until this moment will come, I will continue to try to give love, even if it is not perfect, even if I can be goofy sometimes in my way to give, even if it will maybe not make this world better, I will continue to give love because I have nothing else more precious to give...

Saturday afternoon...a laundry time...Just hope saturday night will be filled up with more magic than some clean pants...

In the night, Chet sings..."The touch of your hands
Upon my head The love in your eyes a shine And now, at last The moment divine..." while I realize that my hand can't feel the skin...

This post is the 271 th that I will publish on my blog and maybe one of the most emotional I had to write. I am pretty sure I not have the right words... The photograph I am posting today is a photograph Of me that was taken by Noëlle Grosso in september. It is a raw, not edited photograph for the moment, but it is also linked with a deep and happy moment in my life...I will not open fully my heart right now, just know that this sweet Brooklyn's girl, this magic photographer is the smile in my life. I will not write more now. Noëlle is writing stories with her photographs, so I will let you imagine the story she wrote, I let you come in her universe, into the magic of a passionate woman and photographer, into a magic that is able to dry the ocean. One day, I will write the text about her she deserves, but for the moment, I will let the Mute Man being behind the power of the photograph.

Just follow the link and discover more of her work, of her world of mute sirens and mute men... http://noellegrosso.blogspot.com

PS : Over the photograph...merci mon ange for the smile you put on my face every single day of my life...

When you give a little bit of your time, your attention, your glance to children who don't have the chance to receive all love they need every day, they just give you back a big wave of love. When I feel like to let all go away, when I lose the meaning of things I do, I can find in their smiles or in a little drawed cow dedicated to me a reason to be and to continue...

06/10/2009

Today I missed the ocean. The wind was from the south. A nice and warm wind, but I prefer the west wind, the one that allows me to get the smell of the ocean. There is something very sensual even sexual in this smell...something I need...

Tonight, I was sitting on the border of my window, smoking a hand rolling cig and I wanted to tell you something. Then I realized that you were not physically in the room, being maybe on a cloud or at the supermarket. Well, if I am lucky, my heart will beat again at least 10, 20, 30, 40 years ? So, I will wait you will be back in the room to tell you, because some things must be said your hand feeling the beating of my heart while I express them.

04/10/2009

I love this kind of sunday...when even my sandwich seems to smile at me...or when a smile can push away clouds from my life...;)

03/10/2009

Tonight, I went to the river. I saw fireflies. I asked them...I understood from their silence that they had no answer for me. I spent a long time to watch the reflect of the moon on the river. There was something sad in this reflect, like I was watching my own reflect. I will come back to the river tomorrow and the day after with the hope to see a smile reflecting on the water.

02/10/2009

Day after day, I try as much as I can to keep a little bit of magic in my life...
To trust in magic is like to trust in love. It is existing because you believe it. Sometimes, I feel like a magician who will never again able to make appear the little rabbit from my hat...but over all I want to keep my trust in magic...in magic of life...in magic of love...in magic of fate...

Theres a blue light, in my best friends room
Theres a blue light, in her eyes 
Theres a blue light, yeah, 
I want to see it, shine  
Theres a ship, that sails by my window 
Theres a ship that sails on by, 
Theres a world under it I think I see it, Sailing away  
I think its sailing, 
Miles crashing me by Crashing me by, Crashing me by  
Theres a world , Outside my doorstep 
Flames over, everyones heart 
Dont you see them shining, I want to hear them Beating for me  
I think I hear them Waves crashing me by, 
Crashing me by, Crashing me by

"Stop you're going the wrong way !!!"
I guess a little voice warned me and said it to me. It was too much noisy in my mind at this moment for me to hear the little voice. I must learn to listen more my heart when my mind is noisy...and don't take stupidly the wrong way...
