Almost instantly, the juxtaposition of  kids toys and parts of skeletons appears as THE thing to do - by the way, it happens to be quite in the same vein as a cycle of photographies I started four years ago. The title of the series <em>Les Jeux de la Mort et du Hasard </em>illustrates the selected point of view,  game becoming a dark and acid metaphor for life. </p> <p>  </p> <p>  </p> <p>  </p> <p> <u>September 2015 </u>:<strong> Wonderful month</strong>, my file got through!!!</p> <p>  </p> <p> The only trouble is "I am broke", having already spent a pretty nice amount of money trying to make my works known. I thus call upon you, definitely dearly beloved Net surfers, to help me seize the opportunity offered to me today.</p> <p>  </p> <p>  </p> <p> Here are 2 out of the 24 photographies selected. Enjoy the meal...</p> <p>  </p> <p>  </p> <p>  </p> <p> <img alt="Dsc_4099-1442409361" src="https://d3v4jsc54141g1.cloudfront.net/uploads/project_image/image/232170/DSC_4099-1442409361.jpg"></p> <p>  </p> <p> <strong><em>Paume-é </em></strong><em>- Original French Title -</em></p> <p>  </p> <p>  </p> <p>  </p> <p>  </p> <p> <img alt="Dsc_4159-1442409588" src="https://d3v4jsc54141g1.cloudfront.net/uploads/project_image/image/232174/DSC_4159-1442409588.jpg"></p> <p>  </p> <p> <i><strong>Er...</strong></i></p> <p>  </p> <p>  </p> <p>  </p> <p>  </p> <p>                                                                                                                                      That's all folks!</p>
