Les rênes de la diligence ne pouvaient se tirer que par un homme à la tête froide et serein avec ses sens. L'un sans l'autre ne sont rien. L'homme à droite, c'est GR. Ils se regardent, et croient que je n'en distingue toujours qu'un des deux. Les balles ont changé de camp quand on a chacun fait notre bout de chemin. Guilhem a appris d'une manière plus tranchée que la mienne, les chemins nous ramènent à Rome, ensemble. Les bonheurs en famille, on arrive encore à en trouver. La diligence fait route vers l'Ouest, le vent dans le dos. La route est encore longue, et les opportunistes ont encore le temps de se pointer.

The command of the stagecoach could only be pulled by a man of cold head feeling good with his senses. One without the others is nothing. The man on the right side, this is GR. They look at each other, and think I can only distinguish one of the two. Things have changed since we both have made a bit of a walk in our lives. Guilhem has learned things in a more harsh way than me, the pathways bring us back to Rome, together. The happy moments with the family, we can still find some. The stagecoach goes straight West, the wind in the back. The road is still long, and the opportunists still have time to cross the way.

Instant shots. From inside cultures, people and countries. Léon photographies tries to reflect the world as it is. With and without lines, he tries not to lie about what he sees and let know what people express, and what landscapes tell.
