Running running running...

Hi everybody...
I'm just running since April and May, and no time to really communicate...
I've obtained the famous O-1 visa on April 25th, but it has been lost during two months by the Immigration Services, and I've really had it on July 29th...
What a pity and a lost of time... However, I'm very happy to had obtained it... It's a so special one.
Still in New York and working hard.
New pictures very soon.

A nice quote...

This is a quote that somebody I love sent me yesterday and that I find so so true...

"I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel."

Few hours walking in San Francisco... (California)

Here are the first images I've done of San Francisco between photo opportunities ... The Golden Bridge is obviously the symbol of this city, but it's really a pleasure to stroll the town made of hills and discover an architecture absolutely gorgeous and so varied ...

That's a small photo wink ... In reality, the houses are not leaning at all ; only the street in front is... A funny picture to take... :)

How not to see and love the old cable cars ? Even if they are now most reserved for tourist with crazy prices for tiny trip ($5 each!)

The Port of San Francisco is an absolutely fabulous place to stroll among old boats ...
Not enough time that time, but I will come back...

As the climate is quite inviting, many homeless have chosen the West Coast of the United States and it is very common to cross lot of them in the streets ...

And of course, you can see most of the pictures of San Francisco on my photoshelter galleries :

Travelling with Virgin America...

I've had the chance to travel with Virgin America between Los Angeles and San Francisco...
This is really a great airline company ! I love it.
When you enter in the plane, it's like if you were entering in another dimension...
Everything is different and really well thought.
Virgin America is for the airline companies what Apple is for computers World...
Thank you Mister Richard Branson...

 
Picture taken just few minutes before to land at San Francisco International Airport...

San Francisco... Golden Bridge... Where is the river ?

Very weird... No more water under the Golden Bridge ?
What do you think ?

       

Hollywood... A old car in front of a Levi's store?... It's like an advertising...

One thing I love, is to cross old fiftie's cars on the streets... This one was like an advertising...

Hollywood is rather disappointing....

This is Hollywood Boulevard... I heard about it since a so long time... And so, I went there last week... So what ? Nothing really interesting except tourists shops... :( I was really very disappointed...

Is the crisis touching Hollywood ?

Even in Hollywood, there's the crisis !...

Mickael Jackson on Hollywood Boulevard, Hollywood, Los Angeles...

Hi ! I met this strange man with a stange hat and strange clothes on Hollywood Boulevard... Do you know him ? For sure, he was the most photographed man that night... His face remembers me someone... but who ? :)

Los Angeles... Walt Disney Concert Hall...

This is a fantastic meeting with architecture... I was really impressed by this building who gave me so so much emotions... The great architec who has done this incredible artwork is Franck Gehry... More pictures to come... :)

Wifi Connexion at 30,000 feet! Flight United 23 NY-LA... Life is good.:)

This is something really great that to be connected with wifi during a six hours flight between New York and Los Angeles... ! I love that ! No time lost ! Perfect ! Thank you United Airline ... (Price was $7.95 for iPhone and iPad and $12.95 for laptop...)

Here a view from the plane 40 mn before to land in Los Angeles.

One of my favorite picture...

This is one of my favorite picture taken on the biggest garbage of South Asia, Phnom Penh... I really love this smile and laugh in the middle of nowhere, in the middle of absolute poverty... You can see the complet report here....

This is my very first blog!.... :)

Yeah !....
This is really my very very first blog...
Everything has began by a meeting with Allen Murabayashi.
I do not know if I really could use it in the next months, but I would like to thanks my friend Allen...

I met Allen to talk about PhotoShelter... a great website company for photographers. Allen is one of the founder and, after a first dinner in Greenwich Village, he has accepted to help me...
He spent two hours with me two days after ... Really nice from him.

I've got now my account on Photoshelter : www.photoshelter.com/c/jeanlucmege  and Allen adviced me to make in the same time this little blog to show my photos of New York...
That's what we have made, by a morning of April 2010, in New York City...
Thank you Allen for all you have done.
