the Waves

I'm on the Promenade des Anglais, in Nice. I don't know it yet, but I have an appointment. I stop in front of a bench and wait. I have to stay there, I don't know why. All of a sudden I hear a huge rumble. I grabbed my camera, it roared again and I started shooting...

LA VAGUE Nº 1

November 8, 2011

One night in January, I'm walking along the Promenade. All is calm. Suddenly, a magnificent white mass splits the black sky. La Vague isn't asleep, it's coming back for me.

LA VAGUE Nº 2

January 23, 2013

Everyone's celebrating Christmas. I'm on the Promenade, alone. Like a gift from the waters, La Vague comes to me.

LA VAGUE Nº 3

December 25, 2013

The Promenade is deserted, the generous Vague recolours this last moment of New Year's Eve.

LA VAGUE Nº 4

December 25, 2013

At the very start of the Prom, La Vague is there, playful, calling out to me. It draws my gaze to every shade of sea blue.

LA VAGUE Nº 5

March 15, 2015

Another seaquake was forecast. I rush towards the Promenade hoping to find her. La Vague bursts forth. It fills the blue sky and leaves immediately.

LA VAGUE Nº 6

January 20, 2017

Winter is approaching. La Vague urges me to come and see her. In the rain, she plays with me. Hiding herself. Reveals only part of her face.

LA VAGUE Nº 7

December 11, 2017

The wind is blowing hard on the Promenade. La Vague rears up and I move away from it. It's cold, it's raining. The moment is black and white.

LA VAGUE Nº 8

December 11, 2017

A long way from our first date. The Promenade des Anglais has changed, and so have we. A bench for her, a bench for me. La Vague  comes and sits beside me.

LA VAGUE Nº 9

December 11, 2017

It's a confinement, the world seems desolate, the Promenade is asleep. I come to check on him. La Vague stirs its foam. I embrace her one last time.

LA VAGUE Nº 10
