Between the 2nd and 16th of July, I will be assisting to a school of entrepreneurship in Albi, France. Albi is located at around an hour of car ride in the north of Toulouse.

My schedule varies between conferences, workshops, business project and cultural/sportive activities. Days are pretty full, but I managed to get some pictures on the run. More will come!

High speed photography is a very specific type of photography which allows to capture extremely fast phenomena. This type of photography pushes the limits of your equipment (or your nerves).

Famous from their awarded movies, they bring up a modern gypsy style music by adding rock-ish trend. It’s hard not to [...]
3 words: Intense, Cool and Dirty. At first, I thought it was a famous band straight from New Orleans. I was completely flabbergasted when I heard them talk in “quebecer” (french canadian dialect). Definitely a band to discover. Blues Delight : http://www.bluesdelight.com/
