 Videography • A new path  If you have been following our photography activities, you have probably noticed that Céline and I have been posting more and more videos on our YouTube channel. This exciting new activity, which is becoming a growing part of our work, germinated several years ago. A New Chapter In our daily lives, but also during our many travels, which have always been a great school of life, we have constantly been aware of how much the world is full of positive and inspiring people, stories, or events. They remind us that an optimistic world does indeed exist, and we wanted to bear witness to it. Even if photography can be a powerful medium to reveal this beauty of the world, video offers a whole other dimension. The alchemy of the image associated with sound, music, speech, and narration, transports the viewer, offering a mixture of discoveries, knowledge, well-being, beauty, and much more. Our First Stories Our video adventure really began at the end of 2023, during our second trip to Morocco. The primary goal was to meet our friend Youssef, a Saharan guide we met four years earlier and who had left a lasting impression on us with his humanitarian work with the last nomadic communities in the desert, driven by an inspiring philosophy of life. From this was born the film « Youssef, a heart for nomads ». During this trip, we also met Madani, a former nomad who, for more than fifteen years, has been regreening a corner of the desert thanks to permaculture. Sharing these two magnificent stories was an honour and a pleasure. The hundreds of touching comments on our channel made us realise how many of us need the supportive and positive energy transmitted by these characters and their teachings. Our Commitment Continues This feedback encourages us to continue. Since then, we've shared the stories of Bernard Bertrand, who dares to live differently; Ananda Guillet whose Kokopelli association campaigns for free access to reproducible seeds; and 'Hervé Coves, a true lover of life. The comments remain as moving as ever, sometimes even overwhelming. So we are continuing this wonderful adventure. Living For now, we are self-financing all of our films. We do not know if this work will ever become sustainable and allow us to make a living from it, and for that, we must still rely on photography. However, we are counting on community support (Tipeee, PayPal or direct payments). In a world where the true value of things ends up being lost amidst the "everything free", we hope that the positive response our films have from the public will be enough to continue together to produce and freely distribute these stories. The first steps are very encouraging and promising, and I take this opportunity to sincerely thank all those who have already shown their generosity. It is thanks to you that we will be able to continue. The machine is launched, and we trust life to follow this very enriching path. Soon On Our Channel In a few weeks, we will be sharing a new story: that of Michèle Polak, a Dutch photographer. She will share her inspiring journey and the importance of art in her life. This will be followed by the story of Tom Rijven, a touching man who, after more than thirty years building nearly 150 mud-and-straw houses for others, is preparing, at the age of 79, to put down his nomadic builder's suitcases and finally build his own house, out of mud and straw of course. |
