Ok. Maybe you don't give a fuck about what will follow given what will follow are the last two months of my life. Those of you who will get to read this entry, please skip it if you have no interest about my life. This entry will show no feature as I've faved thousands of pic since my last journal so, being utterly lazy, I will kindly ask that you go check my favs and dive deep in them. I bet you will find stunning pics and most probably your own pics among them.
Last disclaimer: Skip this page if you don't give a shit about me (I swear I won't care) !!! Last chance !

Ok. Still here ? I assume that you know what you're intending to do then.
Don't expect any logic in the way the pics follow each other. Let's take the train and go to Zurich. Follow me !
--- Chapter One: First Contact ---
My first contact with Switzerland biggest city (population 1.5m ) was more transportation related than city itself. I spent many hours in my car or in a train (whitch is actually the same in my everyday life nowadays). No wonder I have many road shots. I made two trips for interviews in 3 days. One by car during which I discovered tunnels were cool:
and gas stations as well:
And railway and tain stations can be cool too:
--- Chapter Two: People from Zurich, street walks, back from work ---
Interviews went fine... bla bla bla... And here I come to Zurich. Ten days without working to discover my new home town. A long long walk through the city and only a few images posted... However, I shot hundreds of images and many would/might sometimes be included in what has now become more a diary than a journal.
Some people, tired poeple, magicians, walkers, people waiting, people chilling, trying their luck, opening doors, pizzaiolo's, sleeping, reading... Just people... from Zurich.
** Interlude: I've been granted a second DD today ! **
Here are the two of them:
and big up to my dear
and for today's for
!! I raise my glass to both of you mates !
--- Chapter Three: The Visitors ---
Cool thing when you work "abroad" but not really are friends' visits. Luckily, many friends came to visit me for week ends. Crazy nights (sometimes too crazy...), lots of drinking, I even attracted two good friends of mine to photography. They both braught bridge cams over the week end !
Unfortunately, I didn't post pics of all of them.
The Lany's are in love (as everyone knows sooo well!...):
And my dear
came during his military duties with a bunch of funky swiss armee stuff including the best handcream (I kept it) I know.
--- Chapter Three and a half: The Big End of the Year Emptyness ---
I've been quite inactive on DA lately. My life in Zurich had been draining lots of positive photographic energy and having my gear spreaded between Geneva and Zurich does not help.... But, for those of you who have been worried, be reassured, I didn't disapear. Further, I got myself the dreamcam I've been looking for: the famous Nikon D300 which is an amazing piece of kit. However, ironicaly enough, I've been through a quite tough time and shot very few good pics with it so far... Inspiration is on the weak side but hopefully, it will be back in 2008. I decided I would take advantage of my lunch breaks to go out shooting and breeze some fresh air next year.
Last but not least (and partly late):
MERRY XMAS TO YOU ALL AND ALL THE BEST FOR 2008 !!
I hope the xmas family dinners have not been too boring and wish you amazing parties for new year's eve ! Don't forget to drink at least some water between two bottles of champain in order to begin 2008 with a bearable headache (I would not expect miracles here... hangovers are part of the fun!)
Joy
