Volunteer in the Dying Houses of Mother Teresa in Calcuta / Kolkata

This is one of my last reports. A trip in February and March 2007 in Calcutta, eastern India. A self-funded trip to the end of the world, after oneself, a journey to the end of Men, and almost at the end of life ... A great lesson, a big slap, tear internally, words, pictures, and looks great emotions, always ... Almost 4 months after my return, I have not looked at my pictures ... I let them rest, live in my state memories, wounds, NoD-known .... I try to "point" to make sense of it all ... Here, everyday life has taken me back ...And yet, within a month of reporting, I've seen things, beings and small pieces of lives unforgettable ...
I wanted to make this story go after myself, what I could endure what I could still give. I wanted to know what my limits were and what were also the boundaries of life. Today, I still wonder. I had left to give, to share, learn, and I return I realized that I have not given much ; few smiles, a few exchanges, a little consolation, but so little compared to everything I 'I have received from others and especially those of the sick and dying ...
I took my reports in France, ... one day the pub, another fashion, celebrities, cocktails, this little superficial world where I feel less and less for me, less and less comfortable ... And yet ... I continue to love each topic, each photo I take. One of the greatest lessons of this story is that, whatever happens, life goes on ... So I try to do "as if" ... Even if ... Weekend in Cannes and Saint Tropez for a celebrity magazine ... Hotels 4 ****, we do not know each other but we kiss ... Here nothing breathes the true, simple, natural ... I am told that we must laugh, but sometimes it's difficult when you see dragging thousands of dollars on the table for a few minutes of fun ... I'm still far away. There. With them ...

I was asked to show my pictures, but I would like to do the best possible ... It takes time, lots of time, and I do not as much as I want ... Yet I am willing to share some feelings through a small selection performed on some days of this day trip ...It's here. It's not really worked, it is not sorted, it's a bit messy, a little loose but yet this selection of nearly two hundred images has the merit to exist ... I've made there, one evening at the hotel, exhausted, exhausted, to show my work to small Sisters of Charity ... If you want, tell me what you think via my little book ... Thank you in advance. As soon as I would have the strength, resources, time, I promise to upload more of this story that I was upside down and learned a lot about men.

See you Soon...
