Good light to all of you! Always!

...the photographer is he who is able to stop time, to freeze a moment and to make it eternal…

“My adventure companions are: a comouflage box, hours of hidden motionless, several cold days of January, the heat of July, many mosquitos, fog, and my inseparable camera”.

"…the true nature photographer, first of all, must be a naturalist and then a photographer.
He has the duty to put, in first place, the integrity of his subject, before the success of the picture.. always!…”
