En 2025, Olivier Lovey réalise ce portrait de Valery. Cet homme aux cheveux longs et bouclés, portant un bonnet noir, est photographié torse nu sur fond sombre. Il tient devant son sein gauche une loupe. Il porte un pantalon foncé et regarde vers le bas avec une expression contemplative. / In 2025, Olivier Lovey took this portrait of Valery. This man with long, curly hair and a black cap is photographed bare-chested against a dark background. He is holding a magnifying glass in front of his left breast. He is wearing dark trousers and looking down with a contemplative expression.

Very damp snow, dead hay sticking up, a tree, frozen sea with a large area of water on the surfage, grey and misty sky.

Three halos in snow - February keeps their trace on a vanished wall. This photograph captures a now‑vanished piece of Moscow street art by Ivan Simonov, one of the key figures of the new wave of Russian urban intervention. Simonov is known for his long‑running project “Little People”, launched in 2016, where he integrates miniature human figures into the cityscape. His works often depict passers‑by, police officers, workers, or marginalized individuals — tiny silhouettes placed into unexpected architectural corners. The project is built on documentary photography and micro‑posters, turning everyday characters into part of the city’s visual narrative. Simonov’s approach is both social and poetic: he shows how small a person can seem within the massive machinery of the metropolis, yet how expressive a single gesture or posture can be. This particular work — three police officers with halos and wings — once appeared in the archway of the “Khodasevich” bookstore. It was a sharp, ironic commentary on authority, innocence, and the blurred lines between order and mythology. Like much of Simonov’s art, it was short‑lived: painted over, erased, or simply lost to time. This photograph, taken on expired Ilford HP5, preserves a moment of this fragile urban mythology — a trio of “holy patrolmen” standing in a snowy Moscow passage, caught between satire and sanctity. Technical details: Variations on a theme “...with a film across Moscow” Camera: Pentax MZ‑7 Lens: SMC Pentax‑FA 80–320mm F4.5–5.6 Film: Ilford HP5 Plus 400 (expired 08/2014), developed in Xtol Scanner: Noritsu LS‑1100 Photo taken: February 13, 2018 Location: Archway of the “Khodasevich” bookstore, Moscow, Russia

It's been an amazing month of bird outings for me, including 5 birds I've never photographed before. But I'm going to pick this Great Egret, a bird I see nearly every day, as my favorite photo for February. He was just so beautiful.

Un vaste espace muséal baigné de lumière blanche, à l’architecture classique et symétrique. Un plafond vitré diffuse une clarté douce sur les murs immaculés ornés d’arches et de moulures. Au niveau supérieur, une galerie entoure un vide central protégé par une balustrade décorative. Sur les murs, des disques noirs aux motifs géométriques contrastent fortement avec la blancheur environnante, comme des œuvres minimalistes suspendues. Quelques visiteurs, dispersés et silencieux, contemplent les lieux, accentuant l’impression de calme, d’épure et de monumentalité.

I never really took these shots when I used film in the day but I have a few from digital. More "Too good not to take". I'm thinking of seperating them and not releasing them for 20 years or something of the like. They're interesting but potentially insrusive and this feels like a good compromise.
Bricks and things.
