This is great Didier and I think the choice of music blends really well with the atmosphere you create in your wonderful photographs. What a beautiful project. I've visited Bruges but do not know it very well. Thank you for sharing this.
A wonderful piece of writing (again) Harry. Like you, I consider myself a flâneur as I wander around our cities with a camera in hand (but less gracefully than Henri Cartier-Bresson). I have recently come across derivé (or drifting). Have you heard of it? Coincidentally it will be in tomorrow's Jotter...
Thanks George, I'd just left a wonderful Sardinian Trattoria in Newcastle-upon-Tyne and turned to walk west up that city's High Bridge when the scene just struck my eye. I thought it an apt 'illustration' for my piece. As to Baudelaire; an interesting view and one that many might take issue with, although I would confess nothing I produce by way of photography would ever be seen as art.

Thank you as ever Andrew and no, I've not come across 'derivé/drifting'. I look forward to reading of it in the Jotter 🙂
