A day of rain found its way through the sunny Swiss summer. A strange pair walks down a shopping street. A grandmother seems to carefully protect her grandson with her arm and umbrella.

Sad day in the Sikh world
As you might know, another rampage in the US led to the death of 6 people attending a ceremony in a Sikh temple. Why were they the target ? It is unclear yet but apparently one more hate crime. This event reminded me how peaceful, tolerant and welcoming was our stay in the capital of […]

A bucket of love
Street photography is sometimes so surprising. So here I am sitting on a beach by Lake Geneva and notice a heart shaped bucket laying a few meters away. I take out my camera, mount a 85mm lens and start composing. A heart left alone on the rocks, isn't that full of meaning ? As I […]
