Long time no see....

Yesterday I grabbed my camera and shot a few dozens of pictures to illustrate the "Light Fest" in Lyon. At least, I can tell that the camera still works ! Have to wait for the motivation to kick in though. It's gonna take much time to get used to this new environment... I mean photographically speaking of course...







No, come on ! this blog's not dead, may have to change the title though...
