Today I ran into a set of photos called "My waterbox", from Denis Colette and was very intrigued. Denis Colette is a photographer I have already featured, in the article 15 photos to wish you a Merry Christmas.
The set is composed of photographs of reflections on water. They really look like paintings, I find this idea brilliant. Plus, it takes place in a gorgeous region of Canada I had the pleisure to visit last spring.
Here is a selection of photos from this set.

Photoblog: Julien Roumagnac
For the second time, the lizard introduces a photoblog: Julien Roumagnac's, a young french webdesigner who moved to Canada a few years ago. I could write about this land where people are so friendly and landscapes breathtaking, but this is not the place.
When first visiting j-roumagnac.net, what stroke me most is the way Julien can turn a simple scene into a great photo. I am usually difficult to convince with street pictures I must say, but his photos made me change my mind. And they are not all you can find on this photoblog.
The most difficult part, as often was to select a picture to illustrate the article. I ended up with a shot that is in phase with the season.

A word about creative commons licenses
As you may or may not but definitely should know, photographs belong to the photographer. Unless stated otherwise, you are supposed to ask permission to the owner before using a photo say, for instance, on a blog.
I find it very important to respect the willing of the owner of photos I use on this blog, partly because I would be sad and angry at people who would not respect my ownership, but also because it is kinder to ask permission, and people are always satisfied when we acknowledge their rights. Sometimes, when I am late and I need to write an article for the day after amd I have no time to wait for a permission to use a photo, I am really embarrassed, like right now.
This is when licenses such as creative commons licenses save mylife blog. By declaring photos as creative commons compatible, the owner can give rights to anyone to use these photos under conditions they can define: use with credit to the photographer, use for non commercial situations only, right to modify content as long as credit is still given to the photographer, ...
On some websites, such as flickr or wikimedia commons (the media library of the wikimedia fundation), you can find content licensed under creative commons that you can use on your website without asking for permission. Still, I find it nicer to inform the owner that you use the photo, when possible.
Other such licences exist, but creative commons are really simple. Visit their site for more information: creative commons.
