September 2025 Highlights

You might say that my blogs about my ‘highlights’ are coming thick and fast. Well, not that fast, considering there’s only one per month! The thing is, I don’t write much in between these blogs, which are basically a recap of what I’ve been up to over the past month. Which says a lot about my lack of inspiration when it comes to finding an interesting topic for a blog. In fact, my last three blogs were the ‘highlights’ of July, August and September! Not only do I struggle to write, but as you’ll see after reading this blog, I also struggle to take photos!

August 2025 Highlights

September is coming to an end, and I need to quickly share my August selection with you so I don’t fall behind! Since mid-August, the kids have been back at school. As for me, I’ve had more time to myself, but I haven’t taken advantage of it to explore the streets of Saint-Denis. As has often been the case in recent years, I’m going through a period where I’m not taking any photos, or very few. I’ve accepted this and am no longer forcing things. Nevertheless, here are a few photos taken during August. Back to some street work!

In the golden pit

This weekend was the Francofolies festival. I can’t remember the last time I went to a concert. What is certain is that it was before 2019, when we moved to Reunion Island. When I was younger, I was always on the lookout for dates for my favourite bands and artists, and I went to countless concerts. I didn’t hesitate to travel long distances sometimes. I think my biggest trip was taking the TGV from my province to Paris to see Sufjan Stevens. When you love something…

Going Wild

When I was younger, I have no memories of my parents taking my sister and me to the beach. However, in the photo albums, I found a picture of myself at the age of two sitting on the bonnet of the car with my bottle, as if I wasn’t allowed to touch the sand… My parents don’t like the sea and, like most people of their generation in Réunion, they consider it dangerous and prefer to stay away from it. On the other hand, I have lots of memories of my parents taking us hiking in the mountains! That probably explains why, even today, I prefer hiking to roasting in the sun on a beach. Gwen and the children, on the other hand, love going to the beach.

July 2025 Highlights

I knew that July would be a fairly quiet month in terms of photography. Fewer opportunities despite the children being on holiday. And indeed, that proved to be the case. Nevertheless, as I try to make a point of sharing with you the few photos taken during this month, here they are. In terms of quality and quantity, it’s very light!

June 2025 Highlights

Given my chronic lack of inspiration to write a Blog, I’ve decided to share with you the photos I consider the most interesting from the previous month. A few years ago, I also did this in the form of a slideshow. At the moment, I don’t think I have enough photos to put together a slideshow … I’m going to try to be regular over the next few months to keep this monthly rendez-vous going. So let’s start with June, which saw me take very few photos. I was saved by an outing to the Grand Boucan, the annual mega-carnival that attracts a lot of people.

Reigniting my Street Photography

Since I came back from Vietnam, almost 3 months ago, I haven’t been very assiduous about street photography. I’ve had a lot of things to sort out and taking photos wasn’t really high on my list of priorities. As is often the case, the less I do, the less I want to do. Didn’t I miss it? Yes, a little, but as on my trip to Thailand, Vietnam was such a photographic orgy that I was still full of it, even weeks after our return to Reunion Island. I’ve only shown you a tiny part of what I did there. Between the purely street photos and the ‘family’ photos, I really photographed until I was sick of it. Which probably explains the diet I subconsciously imposed on myself when I got home.
