Castorp Republic's photostream  

Hello there,

My first name is Etienne. I was born and I live in Paris, France. I love photography and sharing it. I don't pretend to be a photographer. I just like it. 98% of the photos in my stream are from me (the 2 other percent are from friends and mostly portraits of me). These photos are under a Creative Common license that allow you to use them but NOT for a commercial purpose (that means not if you use my photo(s) in something you sell or on a commercial website). If you want to use one of my photo in a commercial purpose, please contact me.

My main cameras are :
- a Canon EOS 450D (in Europe), Canon Rebel XSi in America ;
- my iPhone ;
- a fisheye lomo ;
- a Canon Ae-1 ;
- a Debonair (actually a "Diana" but under a different name) ;
- a Holga (Lomo).

My main subjects are my friends, the events I participate in, the streets of Paris, the place I visit, street art...

I like to use some iPhone Apps that help me to change easily some photos. I use Hipstamatic, CameraBag, QuadCamera, Camera N1, ShakeItPhoto, Polarize, Plastic Bullet, Lo-Mob, Picture Show, Film Lab, Plastiq and some others too. On an other hand I am a dummy for post-treatment. I don't use nor have Photoshop, Lightroom or Aperture. However I would like to own and learn the 2 first.

On a more personnal side I am gay, I look like a bear, I am in an open relationship. In case you wonder, so far you won't find any nude photo from or about me in my stream.

I am on Twitter :
My Twitter account for photography, design, achitecture, images and so on is Regarder_Voir
My Twitter account for my casual life (more gay) is Chose_Publique

I am on Facebook too but this is only for my 'real' friends.

I speak english, french (^_^) and spanish.

Regards.
