-IN THE LONDON SMOG-
Lors de l'un de mes séjours à Londres cette série de clichés a été réalisée avec un simple Bridge en fin de vie en support de mon travail avec mon Reflex. Une surprise agréable tout compte fait et unique car il ne s'agit pas de retouches numériques, de plus, je n'y ai jamais recours par principe. C'est ce résultat que j'ai choisi d'exposer car il témoigne avec précision de l'atmosphère et de la personalité si particuliére de la ville de Londres. Cela devrait s'appeler Vue de Londres au lieu de cela je préfère imaginer que c'est le fantôme du légendaire Smog Londonien qui avait habité mon appareil photo. En regardant depuis Westminster, Whitehall, la Tamise et plus au delà, Tower-Bridge et la fameuse City. 3 ans ont passé, on voit le changement mais c'est cela LONDRES.
During one of my visits in London, this series of photographs was made with a near-to-death simple Bridge Camera in order to support my work with my SLR. A pleasant surprise altogether unique because there is no digital retouching, that I never used by principle anyway.This is the result that I chose to expose because it accurately reflects the atmosphere and the very special personality of the city of London. This, should maybe be called "View from London". But instead, I prefer to imagine this is the ghost of the legendary London Smog that fill my camera. Looking over Westminster, Whitehall, the Thames River and further out Tower Bridge and the famous City. 3 years are gone with all their changes, but this is LONDON.
