Day trip to Saqqarah, some of the most ancient pyramids of Egypt (please notice the leveling of the pyramids on the opposite of Gizeh pyramids). Took this shot a while ago. I perfectly remember lying on the burning sand to get my perfect angle. Sweet Emotion.

Une photo qui date un peu, mais que j’aime toujours autant. Le petit village de Yangshuo au sud de la Chine. Un paysan qui récolte son riz, les pieds dans l’eau. Cliché, au deux sens du terme, certes, mais une image marquante pour moi malgré tout.
An old photo, but I still like it very much. The small village of Yangshuo, south of China. A peasant cropping his rice field, feet in the water. Photo, and “cliché” indeed, but still a touching picture for me.

STORYLINE:
One afternoon, back from the beach, strong envy and lust of getting a shot I have been thinking about for a long time.
I imagined a grainy black and white with a beautiful flower on the focused foreground that would occult the out-of-focus background story.
It took me a zillions of shot to get what I wanted (and an extremely cooperative model). Bottomline, we both agree that we really like that shot. you ?
PS: As an amateur photograph, I still don’t understand how I had to o down to f22 to get my correct DoF. I was expecting much lower (f9 / f8 maybe). Anyone?
PPS: Photo on Flickr here (with black background - Thanks Jo)
