Celebration

This blog has always been first about pictures and then text (and sharing my thoughts). But the past months have been rather poor in pictures, with an environment and a work in Yemen not exactly encouraging me to go out and to capture moments.Today, for the first time in a year, I discovered a place I didn't know before and where I could take pictures without jeopardizing my work (and security).I would lie saying it didn't feel great to try to capture something special, making something mine.

Christmas in Darfur with South Sudaneses

25 December 2010: A large number of South Sudanese Christians attend the Christmas mass at El Fasher church, North Darfur (Sudan). They fear that their life might be affected by the upcoming referendum for the independence of South Sudan and realize that it might be their last Christmas together in Darfur. In fact, a great deal already left Darfur and went back to South Sudan. Many might follow after 11 January, closing date of the referendum. [Click on the picture to enlarge it].

Close your Eyes

I am facing a serious lack of inspiration and creativity. The contrast with my excitation while taking pictures in Vietnam is a bit too important.19 December 2010: Christian South Sudanese at El Fasher church, North Darfur, Sudan.[Click on the picture to enlarge it].
