Farewell Catherine Ringer, the unforgettable voice of Les Rita Mitsouko. With Fred Chichin, she formed one of France’s most original 80s bands, mixing rock, new wave, funk and pop. Start with “Marcia Baïla” or “C’est comme ça”. I’m sad 😞 #CatherineRinger #LesRitaMitsouko

A serious competitor for photographers :) Emile Friant - Ombres portées Musée d'Orsay, Paris #art #photography
En 1891, Friant présente quatre tableaux au Salon de la Société nationale des Beaux-arts, dont Ombres portées, qu'il prend soin de placer en tête de son envoi. Il a déjà représenté des jeunes couples, en intérieur ou en extérieur, prenant toujours soin de bâtir sa composition sur le jeu des regards et des mains. Il fait de même en 1891, mais avec une mise en scène beaucoup plus radicale. Les protagonistes sont placés devant un mur. La source de lumière frontale et dirigée du bas vers le haut fait ressortir les mains et les visages. Sous leurs vêtements sombres, les corps se réduisent à des silhouettes.

In Metz, light does not simply enter—it carves through the stone. Inside Saint Stephen’s Cathedral, Gothic architecture becomes an almost film-noir scene. Do you prefer it in black and white, or in the colours of its stained glass? #Metz #Photography #ArchitecturePhotography

Side light outlines the columns on the right, while small human figures below convey the monumental scale of the building.A vertical view inside Saint Stephen’s Cathedral in Metz, France.
