I’d been meaning to take this shot for about a week, the way the bush of purple flowers had suddenly bloomed and was reflecting in the pond in the morning sun – it’s why I love living so close to the park.
I only just made it, a couple of hours later the GBS ended and a summer of rain began.

Uploaded especially for the group Photography Gone Wrong.
A kind bar lady in Proud was overcome with excitement at the sight of my Holga and offered to take our portrait. Apart from it being completely out of focus (i think she was too close), there are scratches and water marks, Yay!

"Such a shame that I can’t get over this
Put the axle on and roll again
Such a Saturn eye will close again
Watching every ring turning again
And I close my eyes
To everything you’ve rearranged
And I close my mind
To everything you’ve kept the same
Put the axle on and roll again
Cannot keep you in my bed again
Wake up every time, leave your space again
When the hairline breaks and lends you in
To the woman you’ve turned red again."
Sufjan Stevens.

For two weeks starting May 23th, Al Marsa (A Tunis suburb)would be totally busy with arts: a lot of exhibitions of painting, sculpture and photography especially open for amateurs showing up their skills, a challenge is in the middle of the event, in fact last year’s photography winner was Zied a close friend and an extremely talented photography who survived a film photography experience with a devil’s eye. The deadline for sending the works is over and I may be doing something next year, I’m wiling to get there myself and take a look around.

And thanks to Jeune Tunisiene to let me know.
Some Beizig Sami had the great idea of launching a photo contest on the theme Facebook Tunisia, in black and white.
The winning photo will be collected to be the most votes, evidenced by the following comment “Vote Tunisia.”
55 participants and particpations are already closed.
Not bad for interest on the part of “facebookeurs.” The theme is not original but is the approach is!
For once you invited me on Facebook event really interesting I could not pass up the opportunity to talk about it.

I don’t really like Facebook that much but I really like the idea of challenges about photography.
The first time I visited Tunisia was in the 1960s not long after the country had gained its independence from France and President Bourguiba was in power. The country was just beginning to dip its toe into the rapidly expanding river of tourism.
…Close by is the real Tunisia, the medina at Sousse, the troglodyte dwellings at Matmata, the desert market at Douz, the Chott and the mountain oases. The photography is exciting and challenging and for a Muslim country–the least restricted that I have experienced.
Sousse, Tunisia’s third largest city, is an unusual combination of beach resort, industrial port and Islamic city. Each part of the city is separate, so you pass from one world to another quickly and totally. The old medina is a maze of winding streets and endless photographic opportunities–the ideal place to start your journey and become acclimated to the country.
This was a fascinating journey with plenty of photographic opportunities, so I was very happy to retrace my steps in February 2003 leading a group of 15 photographers from the Northern Region of the Royal Photographic Society.
This is an other testimonial how pretty the photography is in Tunisia through decades, people like Jane H. Black were coming and going enjoying every little stuff around, Tunisia is the land of the picturesque a motion worth take shots and getting back happy with a little smell of history in a photo.

The recent war between France and Tunis which upset government of the latter and made the Tunisian a sort of department of France has not benefited M. Chazal for he was an intimate acquaintance of the Bey fifteen months indeed M. Chazal was an inmate of the at Tunis for the Bey’s brother is an accomplished thanks to our host tuition Very soon the came to appreciate the value of photography and like wise man he cast about for a thorough master who could the art root and branch His brother however the more apt pupil although the Bey himself was imbued with the importance of photography that he upon establishing a private studio for himself C. Chazal was sent for and given carte blanche both in respect construction and expenditure and the consequence was in a few months the Bey’s palace at Tunis boasted one the most complete photographic establishments The of glorious old Carthage or rather what is left of are very close to Tunis as every student of the knows full well and this spot afforded plenty of scope to the Royal photographs.
From The Photographic News edited by Sir William Crookes, G Wharton Simpson
It’s a very strange text of memory, M. Chazal (Who seems to be British) seems to be a pioneer photographer in North Africa, as he have been in Algeria, the contact with the royal family have established deep photography tradition inside the palace of the Bey thus making the epidemic of the photo such a Royal affair.
I don’t remember seeing any photos labeled by the name of a Bey, I wonder where did the works of his majesty gone, such photography should be one of the first art works ever in Tunisia, we know few things about the monarchy and we know fewer things about the Photos at that times.

Noh (能, NÅ?), or NÅgaku (能楽, NÅgaku?) is a major form of classic Japanese musical drama that has been performed since the 14th century. Together with the closely-related kyogen farce, it evolved from various popular, folk and aristocratic art forms, including Dengaku, Shirabyoshi, and Gagaku. Although Noh has been slow and stylised for several centuries, its roots can be traced back to Chinese theater (å‚©æˆ), Sarugaku, and folk theatricals.
