Old and new in Rodez

When the artist Pierre Soulages donated a great part of his work to the town of Rodez, it was decided to build a museum to house the collection. After some years of building works and many critics, the Soulages Museum opened in May 2014 to much acclaim.

The brand new building, made of Corten steel, makes for a great photographic subject. The cathedral in the background brings an old vs. new theme which I find interesting.

I love having such a great museum in my town and not just to photograph it, the exhibitions are great too !

My project 365 #2

I am enjoying my project 365. I am very pleased I have nearly done one month! I'm not very good at posting my photos here though...

I'm still using the bethadilly prompts, although not every day. They are great and I love looking at how other people interpret them.

Anyway, here is my second batch...

My Project 365

I have decided to take up my first 365 photography project this year. It consists in taking a picture a day. Easy you might think. Well, not really. Even with a smartphone always on me or a DSLR never too far, it is actually not that easy... Time is not always on my side, but most of all, inspiration is sometimes not there.

So, why do it ? Well, a challenge is always good, particularly if you finish it! But mainly because I think it will improve my photography skills and I will get to know my Nikon a bit better.

I started my Project 365 on 1st January and 14 days later, I am still doing it. I am making my life a bit easier by following Beth a-dilly photography's daily prompts. I don't follow the prompts every day, as sometimes they don't inspire me or there are other things I would like to photograph, but it is a great help! I am also getting a lot of tips from Click it Up a Notch.

I will not publish my daily photo on this blog. I am using Instagram for that. But I will do a weekly recap here.

Here is the first one :
