Women In Saree Boob Showing

Three books by Raymond Depardon

Raymond sees his DEPARDON books published in the Collection Points Seuil, pocket size. These are beautiful books well edited and accessible, then you should take advantage ...

is what I am trying to do and in fact I think I bought all the available titles. I've read / seen most for several weeks. Let me tell you about those three: Around the World in 14 days , Solitude happy traveler and Wandering .

The driving principle of first Around the World in 14 days (subtitled "7 stops, 1 visa") is simple. Depardon decides to take a tour of the planet by going to places where possible, cities it does not already know. This applies, for example, Washington, Singapore, Honolulu, Cape Town. The common thread is the journey aimlessly. Each call is vaguely presented and succinctly captioned each photo. The images seem very uneven quality, in proportion to the interest that Depardon places as he breezed through. The volume ends on a note a bit silly: the earth is round ... : /

Notes , two interviews Depardon twenty years apart. The first is extremely poorly written: in 1978 Depardon is already at its peak photographic art, but it has not yet refined his writing. The "there" awkwardly punctuate the text, in a tone of false rough type "in life, there is" , or rather "in the photo, there a. .." . The result is quite distressing to blankness and vagueness. In the second interview, the 1998 is unfortunately the interviewer who strike while undergoing psychoanalysis countertop photos Depardon. Equally distressing.
Fortunately there are the pictures that follow, entitled The Solitude happy traveler, while relegated to the end of the volume of a block, after the speech. As something that be earned. And in this case, these photos are among the best Depardon, as far as I know them. The problem (as he always there is one) is that it is compiled: gather the best photos of Depardon for grandstanding, it's a little easier. Not easy to have captured all these great pictures over the years, no. But too easy to throw it all at once. Each photo is made by a place and time, contradicting previous perfect the 45 pages in which Depardon was mourning of photojournalism. Brief. Fortunately
therefore, there are pictures. And especially those of Notes, part of the book. Depardon flees the end of a love in Paris and rushes heart and soul into the most violent armed conflicts of the era: from Beirut to Pakistan from Kabul to Peshawar. He wants to commit his life, he wants to risk it and show the distance it takes. His guide is a young French soldier heard his name is Masood. Striking photographs from the body of the action, chronic daily hassles of a French boy lost in a history that surpasses it.

The third and final volume is the masterpiece among the three. It's called Wandering and corresponds to the most recent work of Raymond Depardon. Finally the process is clear and consistent Finally, the language is up to the image. Depardon is once again around the globe in search of uninhabited places. For once the human presence is not wanted. For once the horizon is centered and the landscapes are captured in a vertical format, 6x9 with an old movie that no longer exists: the Kodak Verichrome Pan. Depardon is trying to escape the traditional quest for "time" photographic and focuses on environments that emerge from certain locations (intersections, roads in the desert, dusty villages ...) when nothing happens . And then he thinks about wandering as a photographic concept, societal, aesthetic.
is much more than a book successful: it is a masterpiece in its field.

Seal Hair Archery Rest

Croatia (Hrvatska)


we arrived in Croatia the March 5 in the country geographically a bit fucking weird. Just to say we've gone, the Bosnia y Hercegovina has a small enclave of 14 km on the sea Adriatic, which divides the country into two. Arrived the same day in the rain at Dubrovnik , we spent three nights waiting for the storm and the storm calmed down. A Swiss couple was the hostel when we arrived left their horses with two wheels despite the bad weather ... Good luck! They go to asia and for the first goal Nepal ...
Dubrovnick , best known for its magnificent fortress that surrounds the old town with a maze of alleys. Virtually destroyed during the war, it was rebuilt according to old methods, which gives a luxurious result.





We went along the west coast on 200 kms to reach Split which is also a beautiful old city.
time this week is better, it's more pleasant to be able admire this landscape that is both sea and mountain. There is a chain mountain along the coast Adriatic, which in fact it seems , the most beautiful coast in Europe with islands a few hundred meters from shore.
In summer, I do not know, but in low season, it is not difficult Croatia find housing. Arriving in Split , a woman calls us and asks us: "you are looking for accommodation?" I said "yes", then she told me that his sister is a hostel in the old center. Ok, it takes us there ; is new, it's clean, but no internet, no one is 300 and kuna (1 euro = 7 , 30 kuna). Too expensive, it returns a walk. On the harbor, a woman calls us: "You are looking accommodation?" I said "yes", then she says she has a apartment in the old center. Ok, we it takes ; it's clean, it nice but there is no internet and person with whom chat. It 160 kuna, is already months expensive, but it does not remain. We go to the tourist office to find a hostel . There's one right next door. On the way, a woman calls us: "You search for accommodation?" I said "yes" then she says she has an apartment in the next street. It takes us there is super nice , 140 kuna , but no room for bikes. It goes to the hostel, 180 kuna with internet and one Canadian. In addition, the guy from the hostel celebrates its annif and invited some friends ... What can I ask people ????!!! (Apart from as ...)

















We reach this week Zadar is still on the Adriatic coast then Zagreb a bit more in the land.

After Athens, we continue our journey to the Western European leadership northern Péloponaise passing first the Corinth Canal along 6343 meters long and 21 meters wide dug by prisoners to 1882 (the who has made Péloponaise an island). Fred had himself a girlfriend that day, a grandmother who was selling doors happiness succumbed to its charm.





is happening without the knowledge of the village where we meet Yanis bike that offers us a drink on the spot. There, we meet by chance Bertrand, a French, who was passing by to go to his Greek course. We chat a few hours, and night approached he invites us into the family of his girlfriend to spend the night. Vasilis is the brother peanut seller, we made a supply of protein for a few days.
We skirt the entire coast north of the island whose main crop orange and olive trees. Of succulent oranges as I have ever eaten, juicy like a sponge saturated with water.








On the road, we met Mark, a cyclist came to Ireland with his little bike, beginning a long road to the east. He had spotted a nice little beach there to lay the tent.
After a little bath in the Mediterranean to polish up a bit these few days of biking, we spend the evening to share the adventures of traveling around a small campfire under a magnificent starry sky. First bath of the year: a February 15


























Then we take the ferry from Igoumenitsa to Corfu, which gives its name to the main city. All around are beautiful pebble beaches overhung by huge villas. Popular tourist island in the summer and wanted by the well-filled purses ... A water paradise, which is transparent and does not even dark with a swell that moves funds!

(BD) Dimitri Bogrov

It is high time that we speak of Dimitri Bogrov . And Sonia, too.

My first is an album designed by Benjamin Bachelier and written by Marion Festraets. It has just been released in early 2009 by Gallimard, in the collection "Bayou". They are, we are told, mysteries and unspoken of his family history that inspired this story to Marion. Amazing, because the pages seem inhabited a bookish searched: Tolstoy, Dosto ... it is hard to believe they are there for anything, yet.

From the first, I liked the book: its first volume. The colors, especially red: red light, red revolutionary blood-red cover. Pages smelling of cut paper, they are neither too light nor too thick. The boxes are hand drawn, irregular. The varied colors, running through atmospheres recall Chagall, Van Gogh, Munch and others. Blue is often glossy, red synonymous with tragedy.

is the story Dimitri eponymous Bogrov a man that nobody remembers. After graduating in St. Petersburg, he joined his middle class home in Kiev, Ukraine. It should settle as a lawyer. Her mother chose the furniture and wallpaper. Fortunately or unfortunately, Dimitri Loulia meeting in the train back to Kiev. This young woman of surpassing beauty, and intellectual freedom, the riots reminds his youth, when she participated as a political extreme left.

Back in Kiev, Dmitry course can not forget the red, the flammable Loulia. But his love for her is going to rush to commit the irreparable. I thoroughly enjoyed

this comic. I read a line and it left me under its spell for some time before the story does not dissipate. I stayed warm and cold environments, the relationship of the two heroes can not, the climate of political tension. In reopening the book to write this post, the smell filled my nostrils again. I'm already starting to read it again.
