On top of Hôtel Hermès is this rider. I have no idea who he might be.

So last week a brand new Canon replaced my aging Ricoh camera, and since then I’ve felt some guilt whenever I wasn’t outside shooting stuff — or maybe it’s my stomach crying for mercy, since I’m left with a fistful of euros to finish the month.

I took the 350d for a test ride this saturday (my first time with an SLR), shot more than 200 pics, out of which less than a dozen I deem viewable.
Those are in the brand new photolog, powered by flickr (and a very tailored version of the FAlbum plugin). (Yes, there is a 500 error on a picture, it’s caused by corrupted Exif data. A workaround is coming soon.)

This domain’s root dir used to only be a link to the weblog; not anymore. It now prefigures the next redesign (and degrades awfully in IE6, but the links are functional, which is all that really matters.), and it’s red, very red. Comments, suggestions for improvements?

Slightly off-focus, as I was trying to keep up with the merry-go-round’s pace.

The collective Action Contre la Faim (action against hunger) held this event where every four seconds, as the two speakers spelled a name, a human figure dropped dead, to symbolize a death by hunger.

These figures were not part of the event, they were standing behind a tent.
