What you are seeing is not snow but hailstone, the poor lady had trouble walking with her dog under the storm. If you want to see an incredible hail storm check this video. By the way I have some more pictures to show you from London and maybe Budapest because I'm going there for one week. Angers, France

The red thing is a broken umbrella. Someone may have left it here after the strong winds broken it. For the little story, we had severe storms in the south of France last week, the strongest for 10 years.

I call this street "The Street of the death" because it's very scary when you walk alone there in the night Angers, France.

This is the infamous "pot à clé" which literally means the key pot. For those who don't know, I live on the second floor of an old lovely house and when someone comes home we send down this pot to the person. There is no intercom to open the door so we put the keys in the pot. The drawing is from me. Angers, France

Long exposure through the window of my flat with a ND400 filter. By the way I made some changes on the photoblog; I added a paged archive for those who have low bandwidth connection and the comments made on flickr are readable here on the photoblog. Please let me know if you see any problem. Place du Lycée, Angers.

Elodie aka Madame Catastrophe, which means in French "Misses Disaster", we were in a deserted place. By the way you may have noticed that I post fewer and fewer pictures, and when I post I have to go through my archives. The lack of time due to my studies and parallel school projects is one of the reasons. This does not mean that I'm abandoning photography, not at all. Thank you to everyone who takes the time to come here ;) Angers, France.

On March 3rd, 2007, the Gala of the ESEO (the school where I'm studying) took place and during this event the organizers asked me and my comrades to exhibit our photographs. Here is one of the few pictures of the exhibition. Honestly I didn't know how my pictures would be welcomed. I had some good echoes, it's very gratifying because this is something I really care about! Centre de Congrès, Angers, France.

Here is the new version of the website, the design is friendlier in my opinion, and you'll have more pleasure browsing the photographs. There are still a few things to do. Concerning the shot, it was taken on the same day as the other one in an abandoned warehouse, a beautiful place that I haven't captured so well. Angers, France.

In an abandoned warehouse of the SNCF, the thing you can see on the photograph is a reel. The place was deserted, it started to rain, and we had to leave our exploration. Angers, France.
