Have you ever tried to take a Canon 500mm f/4 into a very touristic zoo on a sunny Sunday afternoon? Well, this is what I did today. I knew it was going to be tough but I really wanted to take my big zoom out, it was itching too much. It turns out to be quiet interesting, flamingos are such beautiful subjects, very graphical and with amazing eyes. It actually took me a while to come back to the zoo. Indeed, when you have spent so much time in places like Point Reyes National Seashore or Point Lobos (Californian reserves), you really can’t think about doing anything in a zoo. However, zoos are important for many reasons, they contribute to conservation, science, veterinary research and are for many people their only source of contact with the wildlife world.

Surprisingly rainy and cold but a truly amazing city. The capital of Catalonia is an heaven for history lovers and seekers of weird and inspirational architecture. The curious mix of Muslim, Christian and modern influences makes this place very unique. As a photographer, there is of course much to do in the city, I would say especially from a photojournalist point of view. There is indeed a lot of culture and a strong feeling of belonging to the catalan community.

- #5: Barcelona’s Marathon!
- #7: A birdman, an amazing number of birds was flying around him, a unique experience to be part of it.
