Coloquintes

yeah, so much for that regular posting. Oh well.

We've been overrun by coloquintes, or gourds. Hélène planted four seeds, four, and the image below is the result in our house. This does not include the ones shes given away, or the ones that are still on the vines. The vines, btw, are literally taking over the whole backyard, growing up and through trees, down the fence and even over into our neighbors driveway.

Its amazing, really. It makes me wonder, why is this particular non-edible plant not suitable for bio-fuels? It grows like a freaking weed, and grows vertically too so you could go build some trellis' and save space.

Apparently, or maybe, its the earliest domesticated plant, although then and now just used for bowls and such. Anyway, pretty crazy plant and if anyone has an idea why this thing isn't suitable for veggie oil, please let me know!

Ps. Yeah, some of the pics there are blurry. No big deal.

Been busy

Français à suivre..

Been a little busy lately with a couple of shoots and getting my website updated. I think its going to stay as is for a while, and since everyone seems to have different opinions about my photo selections, I would love to hear some comments. www.soleilfoto.com

In the meantime, and I don't think this will be a habit, but I am pretty proud of these last two shoots. Working with limited resources, I couldn't be more proud of how they turned out.

For the wedding dress shoot, I have to thank Fernando, Catherine, Jennifer, Julie and of course Hélène, without whom it wouldn't have been possible. A great team, and the images prove it. I must also thank Nathalie from Cingi Mariage, rue St. Catherine in Bergerac, for the use of the dress.

For the dance shoot, thanks to Alexia, Laurence, and Simone for their time and the opportunity to take pictures of someone who will surely be famous someday. A spectacular dancer, no doubt about it.


J'ai eu tres occupe dernierment avec deux prise de vue et fais le mise au jour de mon site web. Je crois il sera reste comme ça pour un peu du temps, et depuis tout le monde sembles avoir un avis different apropos mes selectionnes des photos, je voudrais aime bien entendre vos commentaires. www.soleilfoto.com

Pour l'instant, et je ne crois pas je le fais d'habitude, mais je suis hyper fier de les derniers prise de vues. Travail avec les resources limite, je peux pas etre plus fier comment ils arrive.

Pour des photos de robe du mariage, je dois dire merci à Fernando, Catherine, Jennifer, Julie et bien sur Hélène, sans qui n'est pas possible. Une vachement bien equippe, et le preuve c'est dans l'images. Je dois dire merci aussi à Nathalie de Cingi Mariage, rue St. Catherine en Bergerac, pour l'utilisation de la robe.

Pour le danse, je dois dire merci à Alexia, Laurence et Simone pour leur temps et l'opportunitie de prends de photos de quelq'un qui sera certainment celebre un jour. Une danseuse spectaculaire, sans dout.

Et desole pour mon mauvais ecriture, et j'espere vous pouvez compredre...
