Don’t know what to write, don’t know what to say neither what I’m feeling. Metallica in Paris, Metallica is IN Paris right know and yesterday I had the chance to be invited to the live and for sure my camera was around my neck.

I was a fan when I was a teenager, I used to play drums in Algeria and sometimes to sing in my band. It was because of them that with my friends we decided to make a band. Yesterday I had the chance to see them in real. Can you imagine having a favorite band, that you never expected to see in your life. That they are coming to the town where you’re living in and on top you do the thing that you like the most ! Taking pictures !

I remember in 1995, I was going to cyber café just for one thing, download pictures of Metallica it was costing us (me and my friend) around 2 € which is more than a day of work and by that time we were not working and on top in Algeria ! So i was downloading pictures, putting them in floppy disk … But I didn’t have a computer ! so I was going to print them and it was costing so much. All my and all our money was going there. And today you know more than twenty years later ! I have pictures of them and I shot those f**** pictures 🙂

You have to know that there was only one store by that time selling t-shirts of Metallica and it was so expensive ! We were also looking for some albums from Metallica, in Algeria you have to know that all albums before The black album (1991) weren’t available. Even the album load was not possible to find until 1999 because more people were listening to Metallica. So with my friends we discovered old albums of Metallica with the help of those who had family in Europe or outside of Africa. That frustration made us being patient so patient that almost 20 years later …. You know what this post is about.

I’ve said it there’s nothing more to say ! Metallica in Paris that’s it !

Themfie Color

A collection colored themfies that I took while doing some street photography.

Themfie color

Since I’ve noticed how cool it is to shoot a picture of people while they are shooting a selfie. I kept doing it and opened my eyes to capture more of it. I’ve started doing it during the weddings i’m assigned on. When people are shooting selfies with the bride & the groom. That’s logic, the pictures of the photographer are always available after a few days. So the only way to have an instant picture at the wedding and to be able to share it on the social media is to take it with a smartphone. «We want it and we want it now !»  Evolution of photography from the film camera passing by the Polaroid and the disposable camera arrived in the era of the Selfie few years ago. So now why not treating the #Themfie topic through my lens.

My older brother offered me or to my sister a Sony Ericsson T610. If you had one and if you remember on the back side just next to the camera. The removable rubber to place a small mirror to take a self-portrait. By that time in 2003 the word “selfie” wasn’t existing (How to use the mirror of the Sony Ericsson T610 – Have a look on the manual page 53) This concept of taking yourself in picture was not generalized because by that time Instagram & Facebook weren’t existing, people weren’t able to share it. But some phone brands thought of it, as you can see it on this Sony Ericsson model.

Themfie project

In this series, I’ve posted pictures of colored themfies that I’ve called “Themfie Color”. Most of them shot while doing some street photography. I’ll keep posting some other in the few months.

Mabrouk Ferroudji Algerian actor known by the roles that he interpreted in the cinema and at the Algerian theater scene, in particular:

Director in the theater as for the play “Sarkha” (Le cri) or Rejli wa rejlek.

It was on a sunny afternoon that I met Mabrouk. A friend had sent him to mefor a portrait photo shoot. I invited Mabrouk to my hood of adoption. The goutte d’Or in the 18th district of Paris. We had a very easy contact, the connection was very fast. He gave me a “carte blanche” that I had returned to him immediately. A certain alchemy operated from the first click of the camera. Mabrouk very comfortable gave me deep expressions, powerful looks and harmonious gestures.

A portrait in Hamburg

I took many pictures and many portrait in Hamburg. During the week I’ve spent there I met many people and really interesting ones. I stayed in room of a big shared flat of a friend, 13 people were sharing the flat. Ya 13 ! Located in Altona, it was an old factory of machines producing machines for leather industry. Accommodated as flat since many decades, it was really pleasant to be there. They were really kind and welcomed me really good. I had a talk with one of them and he surprised me telling me, that he have been in Algeria four time at the end of the 80’s doing a road trip, I told him that he must know my country better than me ! He showed me in a big atlas map all the way he did and how he made it through north Africa to west Africa, and my reaction was just “Wow” I should do that too, then I told him that it’s funny that he went to Africa for a road trip and that me I’m doing one in Europe.


Portrait in Hamburg 1

I took two portrait of him one color and the other black & white, it was a really interesting person. We also exchanged about politics and about the gentrification in big cities. He started living there 32 years ago, the reaction of people was ” how are you living there !?! are you not scared ? and nowadays they are asking him if he can afford it !


Portrait in Hamburg 2

Hope to you soon again, that was a really pleasant stay there.
