Last week Paris Photo took place at the Grand Palais in Paris.
I usually go for portraits but this time I was attracted to some special images without a human inside.
– Christan Patterson at the Robert Morat Gallerie put a telephone next to the photos and after calling the names featuring in the notebook, it was possible to hear the sounds corresponding to the landscape.

Walk 1 : From Haggerston till Hackney Wick
Now I am going every week to a new area, get lost and improvise: I walked quite a number of miles following the Regent’s canal :
Without forgetting the Flowers Gallery exhibition
After the Geffrye Museum I went to the Flowers Gallery: magnificent images of Nadav Kander from the Dust collection about Kazakhastan and nuclear and Patrick Hughes 3 D painting. Very interesting, it is really worth looking at the Gardian article for more images of Nadav Kander on link above.
Walk 2: Dalston to Shoreditch
Yesterday I went East again (walk 1 to come soon). During my wandering around, I came across : the Arcola Theatre, a specialist Japanese cycle shop ( I felt like buying one, maybe next time ), the Eastern Curve Garden but it was closed, then a lovely new place:Velvet Marie , There are delicious coffee and cakes there. Then I asked Marie and Kirsty (playful accessories) suggestions on where to go next. (rule is i don’t prepare where I will go, just land in a train station and improvise from there)

Selfie or Self-Portrait?
You are standing in a beautiful spot and who can resist grabbing the phone and taking a selfie? Apparently millions are uploaded everyday. Wikipedia says “A selfie is a self-portrait photograph, typically taken with a hand-held digital camera or camera phone. Selfies are often shared on social networking services such as Facebook, Instagram, or Twitter. They are usually flattering and made to appear casual. Most selfies are taken with a camera held at arm’s length or pointed at a mirror, rather than by using a self-timer.”
