I saw this series by Manon and oh yes...they are really beautiful photos. The blacks...the mood. She tells me that the pictures were taken eleven years ago. Some pictures get under my skin and take me travelling in time and space - so here I am in La Frégate, Belle-Isle en mer. It is 1997 and I am enjoying the beer and talking to the people (do they know English...Spanish...Swedish??)

These photographs are very beautiful... the black, white and silver colors are so rich and the composition takes you to this place, La Frégate, Belle-Isle en mer. I want to enjoy a beer and a cigarette here.... magical.
