It was real nice to hang out with the guys in the company. I was already stressed because of work and bothering clients so that I would need a holiday in Ivory Coast to have a relief. The idea to have a picnic at Shbaieh, Cynthia's village, was right in time.

Although sunday I had to go to church in the morning, I did manage to go just in time. When I arrived, I saw my mates hanging around the barbeque and making a ceremony of "sheesh kabab". The coal was hell hot and the meat already half baken, and all was just right to start shooting my pictures an movie.

My mini DVD cam was so good to do the job. Although it can shoot 1/2 hour at a time, but it was more than enough to cover the important parts of the picnic. The place is nice and all shaded by the grand pine trees and cool air flowing just to give us a more pleasant stay.

I can hide behind my camera and give a sudden shoot to unexpecting victims. Natural photos are much prefered than those showing people posing for the camera. But anyway, they are all nice and photogenic to me. Still pictures are more artistic, since anyone who sees them can imagine any setting going around before and after the shot was taking. But video records the actual scene, in addition to sound and character. That is why I do prefer to have both cameras with me.

My album on my computer is already full of pictures since 2002. I have posted my picnic photos in this weblog.
