Achillée and Anaïs spent the day watching birds. It's their first day out since their granddad's death

Life is but a moment to be captured.


The comfort of the Nikons and their glasses, that opens one to inspiring, creative and spectacular vistas, could be a distracting pastime in these moments

birds looming about over Hamlet's promontory, in the brave o'erhanging firmament, the majestical roof fretted with golden fire... which appear no other thing than a congregration of vapour


Yet what is this quintessence of dust?



a reflection on death...

without an answer

to much chagrin

and sudden loneliness under the unpredictable cold sun

What happened was gone with the wind...

Nocturna was born this 15th Day of Eighth Moon (lunar calendar), on this night that is thought to be the fullest moon of the Year, the Mid-Autumn Festival, one of the most charming and picturesque nights of the calendar.
Traditions of lighting up lanterns and eating moon cakes were evolved round the lunar magic of this night.
Nocturna was given paper lanterns in her size... lighting up with colours and lights while adoring the moon

Traditional paper lanterns in forms of lotus root, bearing an auspicious meaning of abundance, and rabbit which was according to legend, the only other inhabitant on the moon accompanying the lady who soared to the moon after swalliowing an everlasting pill, and bound for eternal banishment while her youth and beauty got longevity.



During the festival, people eat special sweet cakes known as "Moon Cakes" made of ground lotus and sesame seed paste, egg-yolk and other ingredients


Are you one of the nightkind?

(a Hong Kong story)

Cole the cool photographer: Let me film you, dear fellow Hong Kong toys...

Who cares London bridge is falling down

Taking a peek... To the lighthouse

The pleasant peasant at the farmhouse... Animals go round and round
