Thoughts – The Opal Coast Part 1


What does one do on a grey and cold Wednesday when the day is all yours? Hours free to spend.
Watching a movie for example and I enjoyed Christopher Nolan’s Memento very much.

But I scanned some film too. Images I took during my brief love affair with analogue film between 2007 and 2008.

I had forgotten I shot a few rolls during my numerous visits to the French Opal Coast. It is a region between Calais and Boulogne-sur-Mer and maybe even further like Le Touquet-Paris-Plage.

The Opal Coast changed so much for me but mostly my photography, the way I look when I’m away shooting.

For now I will content myself with posting a few analogue film images. I think I should do a whole post on this topic. This region has helped me become the person and the photographer I am today.

I know more about inspiration and motivational drive. I lost a muse and found a new one. Sweetheart took away and gave back new things.

Creativity is fueled by so many different forms of input.
