Page 27: I go horse riding all over, wonderful, through hills, meadows, streams, deserted beaches, but but never in enclosed arenas, oh no!Many thanks to all the friendly and fearless horses. |

Jamie Harrisson, me, Andrew Bruce. The horse is moving, but the snake in my hand is dead. Photo by Alana. Thank you Alana.  During all my childhood (1953-1980), I suffered from severe asthma, which runs in my family, so I was not allowed to do any sports, not even run on the school playground. So I have no idea, even now, what pommel horse, still rings, vault, parallel bars, and the high bar are all about, or even kicking a ball, etc. … Very sad. But later, as I got to the USA, got my revenge and went scuba diving, glacier climbing, horse riding, sailing, parachuting, water skiing all over the world. |

 Yes it is a small horse, in Mexico. So? |
|
Is this one better?

 I did a lot of horseback riding photos in Mexico and in the Caribbean, in true nature. I feel bad for those who’ve only ridden horses in a school. |
 This photo was taken while going horseback riding from Cap-Haitien to Citadelle Laferrière. |
 I love horse riding, but not in a barn. |
 Puerto Plata. On the right Stuart Ward. On the left Reinaldo Perez. We bought the horses for a low price and could go anywhere we wanted. What a life. Thank Mike Gould for having started that. Stuart Ward : "I always knew you would be a great photog. You had such dedication when most others (like me) partied hard. Love looking at your work. Keep it up Christian!" |

 I am a photographer. Light bends to my will. I'm a magician who stops time, a sorcerer who can speed up the beating of your heart or take your breath away with a single fascinating image. I whisk you away to places you've never seen and take you before people who you no longer see. I can show you adventures that you've never imagined. |

 I spent two weeks horseriding with ClubMed at the Centre Pompadour. I only rode in a school and I found it terribly boring. To each their own. |

Sur mes cahiers d’écolier Sur mon pupitre et les arbres Sur le sable de neige J’écris ton nom Sur toutes les pages lues Sur toutes les pages blanches Pierre sang papier ou cendre J’écris ton nom Sur les images dorées Sur les armes des guerriers Sur la couronne des rois J’écris ton nom Sur la jungle et le désert Sur les nids sur les genêts Sur l’écho de mon enfance J’écris ton nom Sur les merveilles des nuits Sur le pain blanc des journées Sur les saisons fiancées J’écris ton nom Sur tous mes chiffons d’azur Sur l’étang soleil moisi Sur le lac lune vivante J’écris ton nom Sur les champs sur l’horizon Sur les ailes des oiseaux Et sur le moulin des ombres J’écris ton nom Sur chaque bouffées d’aurore Sur la mer sur les bateaux Sur la montagne démente J’écris ton nom ...... Et par le pouvoir d’un mot Je recommence ma vie Je suis né pour te connaître Pour te nommer Liberté Paul Eluard, Poésies et vérités, 1942 |

July 16 2017 : Historical Re-enactment in Samara : Let’s give back to Caesar the splendours of Rome.
The large fortified settlement or oppidum called “Le Camp Caesar” is a historical site on the heights of Samara. In Roman times it could house thousands of men with their belongings and herds. 2000 years ago, a tactical camp was built. Samara and troops from all around Europe have re-established this camp.  |

Sandrine Gorsky, cousine de Frédérique Gorsky, travaille dans un élevage de chevaux de courses Derrinstown Stud à Maynooth, Irlande. Shadwell Racing is the Thoroughbred horse racing operations of Sheikh Hamdan bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Deputy Ruler of Dubai, United Arab Emirates. Introduced to Thoroughbred flat racing while a student in the United Kingdom, Sheikh Hamdan established his first racing stable there in 1981. Over the years he has invested heavily in both racing and breeding and has acquired major operations in England, Ireland and the United States. He owns eight stud farms worldwide containing over 200 regally bred mares and many top stallions. Six of these are in the county of Suffolk, England, three near Thetford – Nunnery, Melton and Snarehill Studs – plus the Salsabil Stud near Bury St. Edmunds, Elmswell Park Stud and Beech House Stud just outside Newmarket. The other two are Derrinstown Stud in Maynooth, County Kildare, Ireland and the 3200 acre Shadwell Farm near Lexington, Kentucky. 1 avril 2019 : Au musée de la Grande Guerre de Meaux avec André Bertaux   |
Conclusion 1: I must not be bad, so that all these people trust me. Conclusion 2: Thanks to all these varied clients (industry, wedding, corporate and personal portraits, press, events, objects, medical, culinary, diving, sports, pageants, etc. ..), I see extraordinary slices of life, confidential or public, trades and fabulous countries. I do feel very privileged. Real life, live. Thank you customers. In rough estimation, I take 5,000 photos a week. 5,000 x 52 = 260,000 a year. For 35 years = 9,100,000 photos. Well, I would like to reach 10 million anyway! Conclusion 3: Photography is my language |

There is also a search command, not always up to date, but pretty comprehensive on all my reportages.  Due to manipulations between prisedevue.photos, prisedevue.photos and famousphotographer.com, some links may be broken. Sorry. I'm working on it ! |

| ************************* MY BLOGS Not many photographers have the courage to show their photos on a daily basis. I do it to show that in a wide range of photography, I always take good photos for my clients. Technical perfection and an obvious sensitivity. If you imagine the logistic necessary for these missions (estimates, preparations, equipment, transports in traffic jams, safety, etc.), you can see that I am a photographer who achieves results in all circumstances.
