Demi Tour...

Those who know me well are aware that I've had an infinite love for art photography for quite some times now and that I've been particularly interested in the wet collodion process for a little while, as its poetry never ceases to amaze me a little more every day... The magic of the internet allowed me to get in touch with an extremely talented Japanese artist & photographer: Daisuke Kodaka. Here is a link to his page: www.facebook.com/kdkwp/photos_stream We therefore decided to remotely associate our respective arts, and after listening to my album White Sage (which is scheduled for release in January), he chose the only French song on the LP, namely Demi Tour, and was inspired to make a visual whose beauty is equaled only by its delicacy ... Here are the words of Daisuke, when he sent me this beautiful picture, to explain his journey: "This is the visual picture That Was inspired from your song "Demi Tour" I imagined a dream of scenery from your song. And I Was Reminded of the old Oriental fable "Butterfly Dream". This inspiration was taken on the collodion glass plate. " Thank you a thousand times to Daisuke for his tremendous talent and inspiration. It is an honor and I am really extremely touched and happy with that exchange. We are citizens of the World today, so it still remains all this beauty between people which I can only rejoice about ... Ceux qui me connaissent bien savent que j'ai un amour infini pour la photographie d'art et depuis quelque temps déjà, je m'intéresse au collodion humide dont la poésie ne cesse de m'émerveiller un peu plus chaque jour. La magie de l'internet m'a permis d'entrer en relation avec un photographe japonais extrêmement talentueux: Daisuke Kodaka dont voici le lien vers sa page: www.facebook.com/kdkwp/photos_stream Nous avons donc décidé, à distance, d'associer nos arts respectifs et, après écoute de mon album White Sage ( dont la sortie est prévue pour le mois de janvier ), il a choisit la seule chanson en français sur le L.P., à savoir Demi Tour, et s'en est inspiré pour faire un visuel dont la beauté n'a d'égale que sa délicatesse… Voici les mots de Daisuke, au moment où il m'a fait parvenir cette magnifique image, pour vous expliquer son cheminement: "This is the visual image that was inspired from your song "Demi Tour" I imagined a scenery of dream from your song. And I was reminded of the old Oriental fable "Butterfly Dream". This inspiration was taken on the collodion glass plate." Merci mille fois à Daisuke pour son immense talent et son inspiration. C'est un honneur et je suis vraiment très touchée et heureuse de cet échange à distance. Nous sommes bien citoyens du Monde aujourd'hui et il reste donc toute cette beauté entre les hommes dont je ne peux que me réjouir…

If I never see you again, I will always carry you inside, outside, on my fingertips and at brain edges and in centers, centers of what I am, of what remains. ~ Charles Bukowski
