News - Newness / New photographs / Photos and New porfolii MAJ Photographer

3 years already... I have the great privilege to attend the “Bol d’Or” race (the biggest in Europe and on a lake) and it is a pleasure each time renewed! The "Bol d’Or Mirabaud 2008" once more convinced me… To be invited on a press boat on the Geneva Lake and to take part of the principal European regatta was a great honour for me… I received again this year a media accreditation and I can thank thousand times the persons in charge of the media " Dynamics Group" and the Organizing Committee of the " Cercle de la Voile de la SNG " … What a pleasure, I can’t wait for 2009!!! (50 photographs)

For the music, back to my favorite one ... « Buddha Bar » !

In the music side, definitely one of my favourite songs: "Shine on you crazy diamond" from "Pink Floyd"... Just an real RAPTURE !!!

In the music side, ” Le vent nous portera” (the wind will carry us) of " Noir Désir " (a French Brand) inspires to me well because my present “ frame of mind” is quite dark and melancholic!

For the "accompaniment music", "FROZEN" a song of Madonna inspires me well to leave the ground and fly over the always bewitching and impressive Swiss Alps!

In the music side, I chose to stopover in Corsica Island in France, with a song of "I MUVRINI", Corsican Music band which sings the tradition and the insular culture, with a polyphonic and modern style ... I MUVRINI will never stop to touch me ...

Three new panoramic to discover : Two taken on the Elba Island (Italy) and the first on the Santorini island (Greece)... A first “foretaste” of my two next chapters to discover soon, one on the "Ports of call" (taken during the cruises that I have done) and the other, with "SANTORINI" (Beautiful Greek island on which I had the chance to stay during one week this autumn)! For my greater pleasure... and yours I hope!

Soon the end of year, Christmas, New Year, it is always difficult to find an original and not too expensive idea for a gift. And always this question which worries us every time: "Is this gift will really please him/her?"

Why not a series of postcards / greetings cards which are adapted to any event? I let you discover my new cards with luminous colors …

At this beginning of autumn, it’s great to find again this very particular «music summer festivals atmosphere" where the artists appear more «approachable"... Year after year, always same human warmth and this "baba cool" side which makes us passionate!

In the music side during these festivals in 2007, my personal “discovery” was Natacha Atlas, an Anglo-Egyptian woman singer, who caught my attention... There is only one step between this artist and my favourite music (Buddha-Bar!), I listen to it willingly.

As stipulated in my biography, for me all subjects could be photographed and perpetuated provided that the photograph “taken” respects the environment and nature in the most liberal sense of the word, including thus the “human nature”. In spite of that, if you recognized yourselves and that you do not wish to appear on my website, you can request it by e-mail with the following address: webmaster@instant-maj.com I commit myself withdrawing the "litigious" photograph of my website without any explanation being given to me. Your request is enough for me. MAJ.

Welcome on board ! WELCOME TO THE PARADISE ! If the paradise exists, for an enthusiastic admiror of the sailing ships like me, it should look like that ! I invite you on board of this exceptional Tall Ship, the SPV "STAR CLIPPER". (98 photographs)

Bol d'Or 2006... 2007... Always the same pleasure for me to be a privileged observer of this beautiful race (the most important sailboat racing in a lake). I can’t wait for Bol d'Or 2008! (47 photographs)

Long weekend in Futuroscope (French amusement park), to take some photographs of its futurist architecture which is worth seeing only for its buildings. A real pleasure for lovers of dynamic and 3D movies (39 photos) (39 photographs)

You will able to hear my "Zen Attitude" music during your visit in my website: "Buddha-Bar" atmosphere! I discovered this music in Paris in this magic place where I hasten to come back of each stay in Paris! This place of "resources" is a true happiness! I am in a hurry to also discover the other "Buddha-Bar" which is located at the 4 corners of the world

	For the music, back to my favorite one ... « Buddha Bar » !



June 2008	Since many months, I think to associate a little bit of colours in a “black & white” photograph … I don’t like very much to modify and retouch my photos and I hesitated for a long time. But the first test was great immediately! Therefore, I love them now! (30 photographs)



	In the music side, definitely one of my favourite songs: "Shine on you crazy diamond" from "Pink Floyd"... Just an real RAPTURE !!!



March 2008	March 2008... Surprising month, at the same time very dispirited in my personal side and in another side very unusual! An astonishing meeting with some beautiful male ibexes in the Creux-of-Van (majestic “cirque” in the Canton of Neuchâtel like a tiny Grand Canyon)... My shoots before the dawn (due to insomnia) during which I could immortalize some staggering sunrises in the marina of my village St-Aubin (in front of my house) ... The Vallée de Joux and its entirely frozen ice lake... Briefly, a month rich in emotions! I thus take the advantage of this Good Friday, day off and second day of spring (where an exceptional snowstorm for St-Aubin stops me to go outside) to completely rearrange my "Swiss" chapter with larger, more attractive and newer photographs. (67 photographs)



	In the music side, ” Le vent nous portera” (the wind will carry us) of " Noir Désir " (a French Brand) inspires to me well because my present “ frame of mind” is quite dark and melancholic!



March 2008	Oops ! I ended up cracking for the purchase of a new NIKON D300! Blow of heart or blow of madness... It does not matter! I have it... I keep it!



February 2008	A pleasant manner "of being on cloud seven"! Welcome to the Pays-d’Enhaut (Canton of Vaud - Switzerland) and this charming and very coloured festival which fills us with wonder every year. I had a good time, during this 31st International Balloon Festival of Château-d’Oex, in sharing pleasant moments. Thanks to all these “montgolfiers pilots” (balloonists) always of good temper and ready to share their passion with the public... Once again, I had the chance to receive a media accreditation and I thank thousand times the Steering Committee of this traditional festival, a great team. (135 photographs)



	For the "accompaniment music", "FROZEN" a song of Madonna inspires me well to leave the ground and fly over the always bewitching and impressive Swiss Alps!

January 2008	Two new pages of wallpapers just for you... and a “foretaste”, with the below photograph, of my next chapter “Balloon Festival” ... to discover soon !





January 2008	January is, without doubt, the saddest month of the year ! It is thus the best period to discover my new chapter named "Ports of Call"... With these photographs taken during magical cruises in Italy, Greece, Croatia and Corsica, I say NO to tiredness and winter dumps ! (106 photographs)





	In the music side, I chose to stopover in Corsica Island in France, with a song of "I MUVRINI", Corsican Music band which sings the tradition and the insular culture, with a polyphonic and modern style ... I MUVRINI will never stop to touch me ...

It will enable you to send your wishes, instantaneously & free, to your friends, accompanied by the photograph of your choice! (24 photographs)



	In the music side, a sudden desire for sharing with you a song of this superb album of "Massive Attack"... I love it !!!


November 2007	The Santorini Island offers an unique view in the world : white villages which seem to be attached on the top of vertiginous cliffs and an architecture in roundness. "Oia" is, with no doubt , the most gorgeous village of the West coast; it shows a traditional facet with its white and pastel houses. The churches with blue domes, emblems of Santorini, are worthwhile only for them! To see absolutely... (175 photographs)







October 2007	Three new panoramic to discover : Two taken on the Elba Island (Italy) and the first on the Santorini island (Greece)... A first “foretaste” of my two next chapters to discover soon, one on the "Ports of call" (taken during the cruises that I have done) and the other, with "SANTORINI" (Beautiful Greek island on which I had the chance to stay during one week this autumn)!

October 2007	Soon the end of year, Christmas, New Year, it is always difficult to find an original and not too expensive idea for a gift.

Thousand thanks to Jean-Mael Gineste, Vincent and Andy (Limited Pole) and also Harold Primat, a brilliant Swiss pilot, and of course the complete "Pescarolo" team… A team of well pleasant champions!
