My Babysitter Gives Me Baths

Yesterday

It's gray and overcast. The wind is cold and people in the street have a cautious grin permanently on their faces (me too). I thought that only good food could save a day like this. I crossed the Seine, taking my favorite streets. Rue des Barres is a wonderful area even as it depresses. I took this photo and I rushed to the street for Ecouffes an appointment with William Herbaut . It is located in front of our respective plates of falafel and I am first a picture of him because last time it was me who was in front of the camera
William. He is a photographer and partner of œilpublic.com who owns a photo agency for photographers. I wanted to see her photos in true to the Red House at Bastille where they are being exposed before the appointment but I have to wait two days because the museum is closed Monday and Tuesday. I know his works therefore virtually. Even on the screen I found a beauty. It deals with difficult subjects (eg Chernobyl) but this time he is aware of concerned aesthetic that gives a disturbing atmosphere in his photos. William will soon be in Juarez Mexico where hundreds of women were killed decade. I did not ask him any questions that I had, how he finds the back to take the images of suffering and how survival times of travel as those in the coming days in Juarez during the demoralizing conditions.
