Printemps enfin - Spring at Last - Endlich Frühling
By Hans-Josef Jeanrond on Monday 9 March 2009, 15:20
Six weeks after the mimosas flowering in Bormes les Mimosas, spring is
finally arriving in the valleys beyond the coast line. It came about a week
later than last year, and the blossoming is not quite as abundant this
year.
The image above is of our mirabelle tree. It has lost a few branches in storms
and seems to have produced a ton of fruit last year in order to ensure
procreation. Luckily it survived both storms and over-abundant fruit production
(leading to the loss of more branches), but is flowering with a lot more
parsimony this year

Prenant racine dans notre nouvel environnement, j'ai le plaisir d'organiser
une exposition de mes photos dans l'atelier Agosta, Cours Louis Blanc à
Collobrières.
Faisant le pont entre mes derniers travaux à la Défense et des reflets dans les
ports méditerranéens de St. Tropez et de Toulon, je présenterai des photos du
“nord” et du “sud” sous un même thème dans cette exposition.
Growing roots in our new environment, I have the pleasure of organising
an exhibition of my photographs at the Atelier Agosta, Cours Louis Blanc in
Collobrières.
The exhibition will show photographs of my work at La Défense and others
from St. Tropez and Toulon, the subject, “reflex – reflections”, providing the
link between these far away places in the “North” and the
“South”.
Vous avez déjà eu beaucoup d'occasions de voir les photos de la Défense sur
ce blog. Je ne présente donc ici que les nouveaux photos des reflets dans la
mer, en espérant qu'elles vous inspirent des réflections sur l'éphémère, comme
l'ont pu faire les photos de reflets éphémères de bâtiments à la Défense,
construits "pour l'éternité”.
All of the images of from La Défense to be seen in the exhibition have
already figured in this blog. So I will only show the new ones from St. Tropez
and Toulon here. I hope they trigger your reflection on the ephemeral
nature of our existence, just as the ephemeral reflections of buildings “built
for eternity” should have done.
De mon coté, l'inspiration pour les photos dans les ports m'est venue après
avoir vu l'exposition des photos de Venise de Claude Gaspari.
The photographs taken in the harbours were inspired by an exhibition of
photographs from Venice by Claude Gaspari.

Driving, cycling, and hiking through the countryside of the Var, you often
see trees planted next to sheds in the fields (and next to houses, of course).
Some of these sheds are very small, most of them very old, and one wonders why
it should be so important to have big trees so close to them, trees that
sometimes seem to crush the sheds.

Collobrières dans le Var

Moving to Provence is a challenge:
Most French people think that you are retiring. Well I am not, and given the
state of retirement finances in France and in Germany, I will probably never be
able to retire. I hope my customers and prospects don't think I am retired, and
they don't need to call upon me any more!
The people in the south suspect, that if you are not retired, you will not live
here during the whole year. Probably thinking « no need to integrate these
people », they won't be around most of the time.
Worse still: How do you move from a project of rather abstract photography
at La Défense to the postcard-landscapes of Provence, photographed a million
times before you get there? Or how do you write about your experience without
subconsciously plagiarising Marcel Pagnol or Peter Mayle?
