Every day I share these photos via the internet. I totally recognize the universal and timeless dimension of my photographic work by reading testimonials from people around the world. It is fantastic to be able, without any artifice, that removal of color, to share the daily pieces of our family life and find a positive response to this simple life close to nature. To immerse someone in their own childhood through photography is very rewarding. The use of black and white probably reinforces this feeling. I can not count the testimonies of people remembering themselves in the country with their grandparents, or finding the smell of summer vacation ... I like the idea that someone can delve into his own life by reading a picture from a random stranger encountered on the web. What is sure is that this "vein" of the family photo is not a calculation or a conscious decision on my part. However, these universal comments necessarily influence my photographic production.
