“Gypsy’s pilgrimage is approaching… Romanies, Tziganes, Manouches come from the four corners of Europe to venerate their Saint, the Black Sara. It is also the occasion for the reunion of friends and family, and most of the children are baptized in the Church of the Saints. Children are waiting to enter the Church for a christening.”

“It is not easy to seize that split-second magic when everything fits together to make a good photo. It takes a good dose of passion, but also perseverance, and, eventually, with patience comes the reward. The photo was made in Cape Coast, Ghana. A group of young adults was playing with a ball on the street. A photography session I very much enjoyed. It was a pleasure to spend some time with them. A nice memory that I am glad to share with you here.”
