Les photos réalisées par des amateurs me touchent souvent plus que celles réalisées par des professionnels. Le fait que leur beauté ne soit la plupart du temps qu’accidentelle les rend plus précieuses à mes yeux. J’ai la chance d’avoir hérité d’un fond photographique sans pareil : 60 ans des clichés aux formats variés, rangés par ordre chronologique. Je les regarde souvent et j’ai décidé d’en partager certains avec vous, en écartant d’emblée ce qui touche à l’intimité du cercle de famille et tout ce qui pourrait être qualifié de kitsch. J’ai sélectionné ces photos parmi des centaines parce qu’à à chaque fois quelque chose m’a ému. Je me garderai bien d’indiquer une date ou un contexte parce que j’aimerai qu’à votre tour vous les appréciez pour ce qu’elle sont : des œuvres anonymes.

[Introduction in pidgeon english] Photos made by non-professionals often touch me more than professional ones. The fact that their beauty may be accidental made them more precious to me. I have the chance to have access to a familial photographic base : 60 years of pictures in various formats, filed in chronological order. I look at them pretty often and I’ve decided to share some of them with you, excluding what is too personal and what may be consider kitschy. I’ve chosen these photographs over hundreds because eveytime something has moved me. I will not give any indication regarding the date or the context as I would like you to consider these for what they are : anonymous works.

This graphic shows the orbits of all the known Potentially Hazardous Asteroids (PHAs), numbering over 1,400 as of early 2013. These are the asteroids considered hazardous because they are fairly large (at least 460 feet or 140 meters in size), and because they follow orbits that pass close to the Earth’s orbit (within 4.7 million miles or 7.5 million kilometers). But being classified as a PHA does not mean that an asteroid will impact the Earth: None of these PHAs is a worrisome threat over the next hundred years. By continuing to observe and track these asteroids, their orbits can be refined and more precise predictions made of their future close approaches and impact probabilities.
