It's finally here, the gallery of my life. 20 years on the road, thousands of film rolls and 800+ carefully curated photographs of abandoned stores in rural France. Go and take a look, you will be surprised: it's a bit like a surrealistic trip in a strange country. The gallery is interactive, you can sort it the way you want.

Global warming can be felt in the Paris area. My favorite woods is being decimated by a rampant virus called the Ink Disease.
