Speaking about photography in english…

 A year ago I have started a french only year partly to challenge myself to do so, partly because many surrounding us in Quebec, Canada were reproaching guys like me who were abandonating their native language in an attempt to reach a more international audience. The result of this twelve months hiatus was everything but mainly inconclusive at the end. And I not sure my very small contribution into the french cultural scene had really any kind of impact. What can I say more about that seemly foolish attempt to reverse an universal trend to communicate in english and get more retroaction from those courageous who are following this blog (and others obviously!).

At the end I think it is simply a question of communicating with those who are sharing this commun passion for photography that reunite us all around the world. And beside I am not really sure that my english knowledge have been ever sufficient to master the language but I felt oddly more confortable to communicate to you that way. Sure it is a pity for the french diaspora of this planet that most of us (particularly in North America) have to switch in english but we have to convainc ourselves that we are at least bringing a french touch, a french zest to the english world current tendency.

So as you may already guessed and starting now (end of November 2024) I will return in english speaking version for all the future posts of this beloved blog of mine. As I used to said some 12 years ago, « Back and Front the (compact) camera with Daniel M» ... again!
