I’ve just spent 15 days in South Africa. On my own, without my wife or children. Why? The first week was spent on English lessons. It’s part of my job to maintain a good standard of English. I’d decided to extend my stay by a week to explore the Cape area a bit. Yes, I forgot to mention it, but I only stayed in Cape Town. I’d planned to stay there to do a bit of street photography.

Daniel Benoît, a photographer who’s been following my work for a few years, told me how frustrating it was for him not to be able to spend more time looking at the photos in my slideshow.

I’m going to make the most of our recent trip to Malaysia to write a few posts and, whilst I’m at it, share some of the photos I took whilst I was there. In just over two weeks spent in Asia, I was far more productive than I’d been in several months spent on the streets of Saint-Denis. It’s not a question of comparing what I do in my own town with what I can achieve far from home in exotic places like Malaysia. The term ‘exotic’ carries no negative connotations when I use it. I’m simply talking about things that are out of the ordinary for me. Going to mainland France – to Paris or Marseille – would be just as ‘exotic’ for me!
