How do I unplug? I take my camera, put on my sneakers and take a walk. I pay attention.
When I visit my childhood home every year, I never venture in the garden. Until last September. I just realized my mom now keeps pink orchids. My last memory of orchids growing up were rows of deep dark violet dendrobiums. I need to ask mom why the orchid variety shift and when did this happen.

Here are two French-looking guys in San Francisco. I wave and they wave back and say hello in fake French. They were rehearsing lines for the theatre.

It's pretty cool to not just look but to really see. Random little things and interesting characters. Being in the world with 100% undiluted attention. Each photo = a second of seeing, being and clicking. In that critical moment, it is just you and the subject, plus the bonus of capturing what can no longer exactly be.
One second of clarity. No clutter. What a gift.

hello Alnie, I can confirm those guys don't look like French ones ! but your pics are beautiful as usual and it's always a nice break taking few minutes for appreciating them. Severine
Hi Alnie,
Sounds like photography has really changed the way you look at the world. Cool.
