Like many people, I always imagine weird things when I walk in the street, when I work or when I’m home. But I never found a good way to tell what goes through my head.

One day, wanting to make a joke with friends, I replaced a statue of Napoleon in Cherbourg with a picture of my little pony on my phone and took a picture. I had so much fun that I put it on Facebook, people immediately liked it.

I remade another photo in this style, people still loved it. I had finally found a way to tell all the stupid things that I think at that time! The scenes of everyday life always make me think of things I've seen in cartoons, movies or video games. With these kinds of photos, I can show people what goes through my head daily.

Your idea is great~I like these!!

I am a 39-year-old photographer living in Cherbourg in Normandy, France. I was a teacher for ten years (history in high school). However, during the COVID pandemic, two years ago, I quit my job to pursue my passion: photography and filmmaking!

    He got on!!... OFF OFF OFFOFFOFFOFF!!

    I started photography when my first girl was born, ten years ago. Like many parents, I bought a camera to take pictures of my children and I thought it was great. I continued to take a lot of pictures and things happened "naturally".

    I also wanted to try to make videos and I was successful enough to quickly make my way to a documentary filmmaker. That's what I'm doing now as well. It all started with photography.

    I like photography because it has become a very popular art, everyone can take beautiful photos today, everyone has a chance. It is not reserved for the elite.

    For me, creating photos, videos, montages is like oxygen, I need them in order to live. Maybe the most challenging part could be the moment when the job is over.

    Wait. Is this what firefighter helmets look like these days?

    Today, I make films for television in France and I also work for the cinema. It's fun because it all started with a simple photo, then a funny montage. My background pretty much sums up what is the magic of internet 2.0. I continue to take pictures but mostly for fun.

    The kidnappers are in office now. Obama's, Clintons and Biden... They sex traffick humans and if you haven't looked into that and continue to believe the media then your being fed like sheep. Hunt for information like a lion and you too will one day wake up. Hopefully before it's too late

    Those two look like they know something... Like that the Democrats eat babies and farm adrenochrome. Or that our country went from being energy independent to energy dependant on less than one year because of the choices made by those in office today. Trump was an idiot, mean tweets for sure and I'm sorry he hurt your feelings Karen and Chad... But he was keeping our country American. He created jobs, brought businesses back to American soil, wanted to protect our borders from sex trafficking and drug running... Which is insanely rampant right now. Look at all the drug overdoses, the price of gas, milk, eggs, meat... Our country is F****D under Biden. But at least your feelings aren't hurt... Trump was a real American, also a human... He said stupid things like WE ALL DO. But at least he isn't completely ruining America and handing us over to China. At least he gave a f**k about Americans.

    Absolutely. I was a Democrat all my life. And hated when Trump became the President. Didn't take long before I realized I was blindly hating someone over reasons that didn't exist. Once I actually started to look at his actions, I realized what an idiot I was. Biden has destroyed this country in record time. Sad that people hated Trump so much they didn't care who they let lead our country. Awful
