Everyday life.
So today I’m going to be a bit off topic and post my favorite cookies recipe :)
The images are not great because I cooked them at night (..and I was too lazy to take my lighting kit out!), but the cookies where yummy! thanks to ‘cavolettodibruxelle’ for the nice recipe.
Ingredients:
butter 225g
sugar 150g
brown sugar 150g
eggs 2
flour 250g
chocolate chip 100g
leaven for cakes 1 small spoon
salt
How to:
First thing sift the flour with the leaven and a bit of salt.
Add the eggs, the sugar and the melted butter and mix well. I used a kitchen robot because the knead get quite tick. When finished put the mixture into the fridge for about 10 minutes
Take your knead out and start putting small heaps of it on a baking tin previously covered with some oven paper. Don’t make the heaps too big or too close to each other as the biscuits will grow a lot.
Let them cook in the oven at 180° for about 10 minutes.

Swans where the first animals I met in Évian-les-Bains. The Lac LĂ©man has many of them, and I have always been fascinated and frightened by those beautiful creatures, sometimes too gorgeous and calm to be real. But I think that If i was a bird I probably wouldn’t have been one of them, maybe a “canard”? but I’m not a fan of the word “duck” in english so probably not. Maybe I could have been a small swan painted in pink, perhaps that would have been more appropriate for me ;)
Anyway, all those talks mainly because I had this picture of a good looking swan I took on the lac of Como to post.
By the way I miss the beautiful autumn light.. I just can’t wait for spring, sunsets and warm yellowish lens flares to come back to me :)

Dreaming around
Artist statement
I recently started this series in August 2009. I’m still not sure of when this project will end and if it will ever have an ending.
I always found it tough to document my travels and holidays, I was trying to oblige myself to go out with a camera and take pictures of what I was seeing, but it didn’t felt right, it wasn’t me.
At the same time I wanted and had to find my own coherent way to document.
The first image of this series was taken in Villeneuve-Loubet, south of France: just me waking up by the sea. I woke up early that day and took that picture because I thought it would have been an idyllic way to get up every morning.
Afterwards I realized that it could be my way of documenting the travels I was making: a recapitulation of where and what and how I was feeling.
This series of images will represent me sleeping wherever the journey takes me to. It will speed up sometimes and slow down some others depending on how much I will be able to travel.
