About

I’m endlessly curious about the world and all the ways it reveals itself. I learn, explore, and wander simply because I can.

I write, take notes, highlight, and save anything that sparks a thought or stirs a feeling.

By trade, I’m a photographer drawn to the quiet honesty of documentary work, those unguarded moments where life forgets to pose.

In a previous life, I worked as a war photographer for Parisian agencies like SIPA, Sygma, and Wostok Press, and for magazines and newspapers such as Paris Match, VSD, U.S. News & World Report, and others that probably no longer exist, or whose names I’ve simply forgotten. Those years taught me to look closely, to pay attention, and to understand the weight of a moment. They also left their marks, PTSD among them, and made me fearless in a way only near‑misses can. No problem you can think of feels more serious than a bullet with your name on it that never found you.

By profession, I’m an IT project manager, steering complex systems and people toward clarity, structure, and delivery.

Somewhere between the two, I’ve learned to see both the poetry and the architecture of things.

My interests drift freely: photography, dance, ballet, books, films, computers, digital life, and the tactile joy of analog tools.

I have a soft spot for fountain pens, quality paper, and the quiet ritual of writing by hand. Japanese papers like Midori, Tomoe River (Sanzen), Apica, Clairefontaine, and Rhodia feel like small luxuries in a fast world. Notebook systems, Midori Traveler’s Notebook, Roterfaden, Filofax, Ro‑Biki but also reMarkable, are my companions in capturing thoughts before they slip away.

I’m also deeply invested in data ownership. I run my own storage servers in a local datacenter, keeping my digital life under my control. It’s part practicality, part philosophy, and part hobby, an ongoing project in data‑hoarding, archiving, and preserving the things that matter.

I’ve never felt the need to master a single niche. I’d rather nourish my mind and share the joy of discovery with you.

In a world obsessed with optimization and constant growth, it’s easy to forget the simple pleasure of enjoying something purely for the love of it.

So let’s choose curiosity. Let’s find beauty in broadening our horizons, one small fascination at a time.

This blog is my digital Midori notebook. Ink‑born ideas, stored in pixels, waiting to be explored.
