Synopsis

Photography is also a great game. A photographer can be like a child: curious, determined, able to see the invisible, to say "incorrect" things, to show adults what adults no longer see. Reflecting on the meaning of the photographic act and of being a photographer is necessary, but we try to do so by letting the child in us play. It will be him, every now and then, with a sentence thrown there lightly, to give us surprising illumination. Photography comes mainly thanks to the gift of synthesis. A gift in common - that of synthesis - with the aphorism and the cartoon. So let's play!
