Doesn’t it remind you of a gamepad?

We were celebrating New Year’s Eve with friends, enjoying the great panoramic view they have of the city along the way. That’s also the only photograph I took that night. Putting down the camera to better enjoy my friends’ company.

I have a lot of catch up to do! We spent the last two weeks in Maine with my parents, a very relaxing and much needed vacation. During that time, I also traveled to Paris for an interview, so it was good to be able to relax not only prior to it but also after. Maine is such a beautiful state, I really wish we could have stayed longer.

After our long drive from New York, these birch trees welcomed us when we arrived to the resort. The light nicely painted their trunks and branches, inspiring me to take this shot.

I was on my way to photograph the recently adorned houses in the neighborhood. Indeed, Christmas is coming! So far, only a few neighbors have started to decorate their lawns, and I couldn’t quite get a picture I liked. Then I stumbled upon this.

There are several reasons why I captured this photograph. First, the subject matter embodies the place where I currently live, New York City. Anyone who ever visited the Big Apple will tell you how taxis are literally everywhere. They really are. Sometimes, or should I dare say often, there are more yellow cabs in the street than any other cars. Second, White Plains places the taxi within Westchester, where I live. Third, the number 29 is the number of a French department where I lived for five years, le Finistère. And of course, last but not least, the lighting was adequate for me to shoot it. When I look for subjects to photograph at night, I usually pay close attention to the street lights around me, and how I can make use of the light they cast on their immediate environment.
