Showers of light

Winter is the only time of year on Cote d’Azur, when you can spot some interesting light. For the rest of the time, clear skies are the most frequent backdrop to your landscape photographs. I don’t have many opportunities to travel, so I have adopted a method similar to that of fishermen, who choose their fixed locations, and patiently wait for a catch. I keep in the corner of my office a camera on a tripod, with a telephoto lens attached and loaded with film at the ready, waiting for opportunities. Sometimes, I get rewarded with interesting images.

This reminds me somewhat the stories of artists like Josef Sudek and Andre’ Kertesz, who made treasure of photographs they were making through the windows of their studios.
