I actually never did thought i would have to write such a post here but well… now i’m kinda taking the time… just don’t have the time anymore to blog… it’s not that i don’t have the time in fact, more that i decided to go to the next level with my hobby that is photography and tried it very hard to be as fullfilling as possible. But now this has ended, we just stole all my photo gears, in a train, he grabbed the bag and ran, i did the same, but he was by that time on the other side of the closed door of the train, going on his way to the next station… But nonetheless, i’m glad i’ve experienced and lived so much for this hobby, and yes now, i’m calling for a little help to get me back on tracks.

Paddy’s day. 4 years ago I was there, sweet ireland. 4 years ago one of my irish roomie gave me a can of beer before going to bed on the 16th of march and said « hey frenchy, here’s urs’! » me « errr wha? why? waiiii…whaaaa?« brian -who actually was in the kitchen- « tomorrow’s paddy’s day frenchy, first thing we AAAAAAllll gonna do before even putting a toe out of da bed will be to chug it« me « errrr well, maybe i’ll give it a try yeah -i was so diplomatic back in those days gosshhhh-, but i’m going to see the parade you know » « owww come on frenchy, not this touristic thing! » « you might have forgotten, but i do am a tourist ahah » « fair enough, we’ll see each other in one of the temple bar venue for some pints then » [we eventually did, but more in rathmines]
4 years later, i’m in another country, doesn’t mean i don’t think ’bout it, quite the opposite actually, but what better way to remind me how great this emerald island is than to talk about one of the artist i for sure wanted to see the most, The Swell Season, aka Glen Hansard and Marketa Irglova, Irish of course -or adopted, jus’ like the way i was-, discovered in the movie « Once » -recorded while i was there-, and 2 albums later, i could see them… and i wasn’t disapointed -to say the least-..

Maybe it’s an actual hype thingy, but time as come for the « supergroup », you know, taking the best out of different groups to make a bigger/different one. You might not even know some examples, the worst one being « Empyr », a sum up of french group « that are singing in English, just to sell more outside of france » except when its that bad, even in english…
More common examples could be « the dead weather » with Jack White and VV (the Kills, and btw, VV i <3 ), or « them crooked vultures » with a foo fighter, a Queen of the stone age and a Led Zep. But now time as come, Belgium do have now her own supergroup, called « Hallo Kosmo », made with some of the « girls in hawaii », ‘The Tellers » and « Austin Lace », the 4 pieces band is ready to rock you world, in german sometimes, like with their newest single « RockPolizei »

I didn’t knew it yet, but 2 full beautiful days were in front of me. 2 days at LeWeb, the 1st european internet conference. 2500 people, 50 nationalities, 1 medium : Internet. I’m not from that world, you know, entrepeneurs, trying to put some money in a startup and all, people reading daily chronics of Techcrunch, i’ll probably cross some millionnaires, web evangelists or huge internet star, but i would probably not recognise half of them… I was there for the people, to meet friends, to be somewhere i don’t belong but i’m damn happy I had access to this out of the time Bubble.

It’ll actually be the first time ever i got one picture printed on real paper, in a magazine and all, you know.. P.R.I.N.T.E.D. ! True it shouldn’t be that much of a big deal, except i’m just proud this happend, one year ago, never took a concert picture, 3 years ago never had a camera on my own, so seeing this happen just makes me randomly smile and enjoying the moment. True i’m lucky enough to have some of my pictures wanderin’ all around internet for several bands and all, even got good contacts with some of ‘hem, but here it’s for a monthly thing, you know, people who aren’t fan of this singing guy or this groopie style hardcore fan.. regular people, who didn’t ask to see 5 pages in front of them with just pictures taken by me in it…

What about trying to blog a little bit more? I barely have the time ’cause i willingly chose to work before everything else on my pictures, but well, sometimes, its cool to write some stuff in here, even if its small talk
so well, Friday nite, was on my way to « le clos des milliardaires » (aka « billionnaire’s street », named after a closed and secured street nearby that is supposed to have houses belonging to billionnaires….) to see once again the Lo-Fi pop of Ruacutane, Belgian band that already has a cd, and a very nice cover from Ottis Redding « sittin’ on the dock of the bay » song.

It was time to get back to a more common schedule, several concerts a week, and not dozens in a day like during festivals. Gotta confess i definitely do prefer long gigs, of one artist than a 40mn shoot/best of, hoping then to cross their paths again.. so well, september, back to the venue im usually going to, Botanique and AB, ready to discover some musicians that would have probably never finished in my ipod a couple of years ago…

To sum up another great thing that happend for me this year… Some call it the holiday season, other the « lets get a cool tan on a beach » season, me its just the « 3days and 50 artists, its gonna be freakin’ tiring but gosh its cool » season. Festival, all size and « influences » from a small 1000 people, 6000, 20 000… and me, lucky to have passes to go backstage and frontstage to try to get some cool snaps. Quite something for a first summer honestly!

What a year… I actually officially started concert photography « just » in late March ‘09… so it’s not really a full year.. but well… (I had my 1st photopass at this date actually). Here it’s not that much a « what gigs gave me goose bumps », more « what images i took made me proud of what i’ve learned, experienced, and how i live music on a daily basis ».. watch out, there’s not way too many pics, i’ve always sucked at choosing anyway… but well…

So here I was, going to Charleville-Mézières, et tiny town in the North of the Champagne region of France, for the 5th edition of the « Cabaret Vert » Festival (green cabaret), a 3 days festival, with an ecological idea behind it. An overall very nice journey, to the heart of why I like so much what is not my daily job. Taking pictures, photos that will last as memories and moments I’ve experienced…
