I basically walked though whole Ghent (Belgium) today. It was pretty awesome! :)

Don’t mind this ugly photograph taken with my awful smartphone camera. But I owned you guys an upload for today. :)

Take a Photo Walk

Every day (or night) I walk around my neighborhood and make a point of photographing something new every time. I'm more motivated to walk if I think about what I might photograph, and in the end I have a gallery of photos that show the subtle seasonal changes that I'd otherwise miss. One day a pl...

Christiana Freetown in Copenhagen, Denmark. Great moment there, a different state of mind. I was forbidden to take photos in this area of the city because some of their inhabitants still sell drug, since its foundation in the late 60's, the great period of the hippies. Politicians wanted to destruct this neighborhood but none of the projects would be realized because of the demonstrations of the christianians and CPH people.

Love Your City By Night #3

Voyager, c'est bien utile, ça fait travailler l'imagination. Tout le reste n'est que déceptions et fatigues. Notre voyage à nous est entièrement imaginaire. Voilà sa force.

Il va de la vie à la mort. Hommes, bêtes, villes et choses, tout est imaginé. C'est un roman, rien qu'une histoire fictive. Littré le dit, qui ne se trompe jamais.

Et puis d'abord tout le monde peut en faire autant. Il suffit de fermer les yeux.

C'est de l'autre côté de la vie.

Epigraphe de Voyage Au Bout De La Nuit de Céline

  I travelled tonight only by feet. I travelled around my city. The journey isn't the fact that you go from one place to another. It's a particular state of mind that leads your soul to different places as your imagination works. If you can't afford to have a trip to some exotic place, use your spirit. Some people listen to music to go elsewhere just the time the music goes round and round. The city can also be a great space where you can find inspiration to make your soul travelling.

It's useful to travel, it makes imagination work. Everything else is frustration and fatigue. Our journey is completely imaginary, that's its power.

It travels from life to death. Humans, beasts, cities and things are products of imagination. It's just a novel, a fiction. Littré (ed. the French dictionary ) reads it and it is always right.

Anyone can do the same. You just have to close your eyes.

It is the other shore of life.

Epigraph from Voyage Au Bout De La Nuit , Céline.

Love Your City By Night #2

Ce soir, c'est Rûmi qui va parler de la Ville. Penseur mystique iranien du XIIIème siècle, ses quatrains ou Rubaiyat expriment tous les états par lesquels les hommes passent. Merci à Thomas Moreau de m'avoir soufflé ces sublimes vers.

Je viens de cette âme qui est à l'origine de toutes les âmes Je suis de cette ville qui est la ville de ceux qui sont sans ville Le chemin de cette ville n'a pas de fin Va, perds tout ce que tu as, c'est cela qui est le tout.

Soul of all souls, life of all life - you are That.

Seen and unseen, moving and unmoving - you are That.

The road that leads to the City is endless;

Go without head and feet

and you'll already be there.

What else could you be? - you are That.

Love Your City By Night #1

Alors un soir, j'ai pris mon appareil photo et j'ai marché dans la ville où j'habite depuis maintenant 8 ans. Je voulais la redécouvrir, mais je me suis rendue compte que je ne la connaissais pas. Je l'ai parcourue de long en large toutes ces années sans vraiment l'apprécier, la regarder. Je ne dois sûrement pas être la seule dans ce cas. Mieux vaut tard que jamais !

Cette série "Love Your City By Night" est un hymne à la Ville, celle dans laquelle on vit, on travaille, on dort et on rêve, et celle que l'on fuit dès que possible. Chaque nuit aura son lot de réflexions et de poésies. Belle(s) découverte(s) ! 

  You need to get the hang of your city to appreciate it. It's not something natural. Anybody can learn to see it with fresh eyes.

One night, I decided to take my camera and I walked throughout the city I've lived in for more than 8 years so far. I'd like to rediscover it but in fact I do not know it. I went all over it all these years but I had actually never paid attention to it. I think I'm not alone in this situation. Better late than never !

This series "Love Your City By Night" is an anthem for the City, the place where we live in, we work, we sleep and we dream in. It's also the place we flee from as soon as possible. Every night there will be some reflexions and poems about this huge subject. Enjoy !
