Dans le coin de Saint-Pierre de Broughton … une petite église/maison avec une grosse bible au dessus de la porte et une affiche dans le stationnement. Sur la bible on peu y lire, « Si tu veux dieu va falloir tu passes par moé, Jésus! » (traduction libre de ma part).
Antoine a raison, considérant les conditions météorologiques de la journée, le message était tout à fait approprié.
My grandfather and his buddies at a local bar, unofficially named El Jubilado, in Aldeanueva De Ebro where they meet at three o’clock every afternoon. Mixed emotions here, which I won’t really go into except to resume them with three words, fear, hope and inspiration.

The pictures where taken with a little Olympus Pen (no not that crappy plastic crap that was launched with much noise last year) that was lent to me during the holidays. The available light combined with the abilities of the little camera and film I was using made it hard to get anything really clear in that particular setting … but in the end I think it works, works better then what I would of instinctively done with my SLR I think. Shooting with film brings on so many limitations, I wouldn’t want to deal with them all the time (i.e. when doing commercial jobs) but when I’m in a wondering mood I find that they focus my mind.
If I had a million dollars, I’d buy my own little half-frame, a shit load of HP5 and a car. I’d ride until I found myself, hopefully never, and in the end I’d have like 990,000$ left … I’d buy El Jubilado. I don’t now what I would do with the remaining 989,000$.

A couple of shots from a day trip to nowhere in mid-december, right before leaving for the relative warmth of Spain.
I took those two particular shots earlier in the day, it was bitter cold, wind was whipping snow across the road and across my face, regardless, I thought it was beautiful.
I can’t get over how beautiful the light (and colour) is at this time of year … here, in Spain, everywhere, even when it’s overcast. I don’t know if it’s just me, I don’t know why I hadn’t noticed before, but there it is, I prefer my work in colour these days …
Aujourd’hui je quitte le village, que j’ai photographié plus que jamais durant ce séjour, pour Madrid et bien rapidement Montréal.
