January 2004
Colorado is now done with us and we are back to Europe. The long promised updates are here finally: the best pictures as 36 new wallpapers, and no less than 9 other new pages from our climbing road trip in the american south-west: Idaho, California, Tuolumne, Yosemite (subdivided in Salathé wall, the Steck-Salathé and Half Dome), Zion and more desert towers... And that doesn't even count the large additions to: Wyoming (Wind River Range), Red Rocks and Arizona... That should keep you busy for a while, there's no going back to what you were doing now.
January 2004
I've also brought the counters back to life.
February 2004
Added a page with Black & White images and also a vertical gallery.
March 2004
I got back most of the images that were previously placed in a photo agency. So the missing wallpapers are back, and I just published no less than 4 other CDs of images for sale.
June 2004
Moved to Briançon in the heart of the Alps where I'm starting a software and consulting business: Briansoft
July 2004
The Euro being too expensive with respect to the US$, blah, blah, blah, I just jacked up the price of the Photo Archive CDs. Sorry. But fear not, you can still purchase them at the same old cheap price if you get the bran new DVD compilation.
Aug 2004
Updating the inner workings of my site to PHP. If you notice some bugs, incompatibilities or missing pages/links, please let me know.
November 2004
Added some images of Base Jumping in the Verdon.
As part of the return-to-Antarctica trip (below), I scanned old slides of Dome C in 1977, sent to me by Thierry Cappelle.
November 30th, 2004
I'm back in Antarctica for the fifth time, but this is a First: the first winter-over at the new franco-italian research station of Concordia, on the High Antarctic Plateau. Forecast is: 4 months of total darkness, winter temperature down to -84°C and total isolation for 10 months. Should be fun. I started a blog of the expedition.
February 10th, 2005
The winter-over itself started with the departure of the last airplane, we are now on our own till november.
Jenny added some images of ice climbing near Briançon next to the page about the Ecrins National Park. I step on ice while she climbs it.
July 20th
We passed the halfway-point of the winterover (still 4 months to go!) and with the darkness I still spend 16 hours a day coding. I've updated several of my freewares and added a prog to rotate, stack and merge astronomy images.
And since I have plenty of time to read (and write), I've added a few reviews of interesting books.
I'm also in the process of adding lots of PHP to the inner workings of my site; let me know if I screw up somewhere.
August 12th
I'm in the flattest part of Antarctica, but I'd love to go to some of the steepest parts...
Contrary to habits, here's a link to an external website by Eric Wunrow, a photographer with a love for the desert.
September 1st
Record cold today: -78.6°C (-110°F).
October 15th
I took some time to assemble 360° panorama for a full visit of the station.
November 5th
Today at 22:00 the first airplane landed, putting an end to 269 days of isolation. The winterover is now... over.
December 3rd
On the 1st I leave Dome C for a coastal station where I hitch a ride on a C-130, destination New-Zealand for a well deserved vacation after residing for exactly one year in Antarctica. On the 4th, at 4am, after 369 days in Antarctica I'm back in a world where white is no longer the dominant color. It may be a while before my next update !
February 27th 2006
Back home, finally after 15 months... to a flooded apartment ! I'll do some updates (epilogue to the winterover, NZ, OZ...) after we settle down and I go through 150 boxes of slides...
March 5th
The movie  March of the Penguins took away the Best Documentary at the 78th Academy Awards. Go penguins !
March 14th
Counting the 10 millionth hit today; and in 2 weeks my site will be just 10 years old. Also an evil friend managed to convince me to add something I usually hate: commercial advertisement. But fear not, it's only in text mode and without popups or flashing graphics. So if you want to help out my site, don't hesitate to click on relevant ads.
March 21st
A page with the december New Zealand 'return to climbing' (including a 54-hour non-stop epic on the north ridge of Sefton) and the ensuing month of hot climbing in Australia. There are some other minor new pages and site reorganization (what, a 200Kb page of text is too slow ?!?).
May 6th
After a work conference in Rome I'm taking time reorganizing my picture collection. Fished out old pics of Apennines in central Italy. And added new pics of backcountry skiing around Briançon where we currently live.
Another movie...
The movie An Inconvenient Truth about the current climate changes is in parts based on work that was performed at Dome C on the Epica project. Disclaimer: I have a small contribution in the movie.
And while on the topic of contributions, the incoming book 'Sun' by Hill and Carlowicz features several of my images. With its pocket size it makes a great and intelligent gift.
June 18th
I've been asked to produce some posters for a local shop, mostly B&W and panoramic. I'm not selling them online, only in a store in Briançon, but you are certainly welcome to take a look at them.
August 13th
Busy days. Many internal changes (division of large pages) and more than a few new Antarctic pages: new aurora pictures, my most difficult picture ever, a page about icebergs, surface glaciology and deep drilling, some B&W portraits, a brief passage at the McMurdo airstrip while flying around Antarctica, a detailed explanation of how land traverses are organized, a selection of variously transformed fisheye and bird's eye images (I made that last one up) and a whole bunch of new wallpapers. Enough to keep you cool during the globally warmed summer months.
Doing all this work on many sources of digital and film images, I had to rationalize my workflows, so I put my notes online. While I was at it I detailed various image combination processes, with examples. Also wrote a quick hack to produce 360° bird's eye images after an idea for a photography contest.
J'ai aussi traduit en français la page sur les manchots ainsi que leur FAQ.
August 17th
After last week's mayhem, I translated 4 pages from a prophetic comic strip of the '60s about airports in the 2000s.
September 1st
A few days in the only (?) crack climbing area of Europe, the Val d'Orco, in Italy.
September 28th
Two new CDs of royalty-free images are out, featuring pictures of the Concordia winterover as well as the latest climbing in Australia, New Zealand and the Alps.
Also added a slide show of the best wallpapers and finally found a workaround to a jpg transparency bug that'd stumped me for years.
November
Weather getting colder at home but no sign of snow yet, so we are off to a few days of climbing in warmer Corsica, in between trips to find a new place.
January 2007
Pour le 1er Janvier 2007
Suite à changement d'emploi, nous cherchons actuellement un logement sur Grenoble. Merci de me contacter si vous avez quelque chose à louer...
Between finding a new place, moving, fixing it up, starting a new job and exploring new playgrounds, things have been hectic this month. To say nothing of technical glitches that have kept my site offline for a good week and the counters broken for 3 months. Sorry about that. It's back online now but I still need to do some modifications... while not even having an internet connection at home... C:-(
May
I sold my film equipment and got a new camera which I'm currently evaluating from the smallest macrophotography (that my old lens will allow), to the widest astrophotography (that my 'scope will permit), while enjoying the thunderstorms from the apartment window. That is, when we don't get them while climbing, but in that case I'm not taking pictures !
June
Finally a rainy weekend so I could stay at home and sort pictures and write this ! Here are some images of backcountry skiing and climbing in the various mountain ranges around our new home of Grenoble, in Chartreuse, Vercors, Diois, Belledonne, Devoluy, Grandes Rousses, Taillefer...
I modernised the display of the tables of content on each page. It may still be buggy but it will be a bit more relevant now.
July
Frustrated while trying to get the most out of my new camera, I tested some RAW file processing software with less than glowing reviews.
Some images inside a cave, fortunately with some light.
September
Some pictures of climbing in Vanoise and Maurienne.
I spent 2 weeks working in Croatia and took the usual tourist shots of Dubrovnik, a very nice city. Then a few days later we had the company of a friendly fox while camping in the Val d'Orco, Italy.
Bravo to Agostino and his friends for their incredible Jaccuzzi on the summit of Mt Blanc ! (external link)
If you are looking for the images of the 40 years of the LPSC or CSC 2007 ! (external link)
I would like to pay homage to René Desmaison, french alpinist and a great inspiration when I started climbing. He died yesterday at 77. Over ten years ago while climbing in Peru, after a failed ascent on Chacraraju due to the difficulty, I learnt that in the meanwhile he had just opened a new (and even harder) route on the other and more remote side of the mountain. At 65 vs 25, that was humbling.
October
Spent a WE at home, sorting through images and compiled a shortlist with my favorite images.
November
I've modified this lens more than a decade ago, but it usually gathers dust instead of doing 3D pictures or even portraits.
A too short week of vacation in Spain, climbing the impressive Mallos de Riglos.
But unfortunately my telescope fried while viewing the great spanish night sky.
Also a few picture of a visit of the Ganil where unknown matter is created out of the specs of the current universe.
Upon request, the design specs of my custom Camping Kangoo. Cheap and convenient.
I currently have 2 ongoing exhibits of Antarctic pictures: one in Genoa (Italy) Museo Nazionale dell'Antartide, since October 25th. The other at the famed Institut Oceanographique de Monaco, starting february 19th 2008.
December
Currently reviewing the Ricoh GX100.
January 2008
Happy New year. Not much news. In bed with the flu during the ice climbing vacation... In case you want to do some late Xmas gifts, here are some new posters out for sale. Grab them while they last, series' limited.
April
One new CD of royalty-free images out for sale, with all the latest images, particularly of backcountry skiing in Belledonne, Taillefer, Ecrins...
On the work side, I finally got Linux running on a Xilinx ML405 target board. My notes are online.
June
I received an advanced release of the last album from german metal band Megalith, titled 'Storming the summit'. It's brutal and quite good. Official release is on June 20th. Some of my images are on their cover art...
July
I accumulate images, but I'm late in putting them up for all to see. Here are some trial infrared images and a few shots of climbing and canoeing in Ardeche.
Here's also a random sample of the most recent images added to the site.
As part of a a global reorganization in trying to put some sense into a mess of webpage (what, I can't believe I've actually written 333 pages totalling over 800 thousand words ?!?), I've put up a classification by category and a full sortable table of content in addition to the previous section lists.
September
Added some videos on various pages, mainly about steep skiing. You'll have to look for them though...
There are some nice pictures of a classic climb on the Gerbier while I split the page featuring Presles. I also split the Maurienne page featuring the last weekend of excellent powder skiing in may.
We recently went briefly back to central Italy and I managed to do some climbing in one of my favorite spots, the Gran Sasso, so I updated both pages with a bunch of new images.
October
I don't normally link to external pages from here, but this is just too insightful and pathetic.
Spent all month climbing in Madagascar on the Nosy Hara islands and the Tsaranoro big wall under the stare of Lemurs, chameleons and other (bitting) critters.
