When searching for things to see and photograph in Paris I stumbled upon >>this<< young photographer (Yanick Delafoge, who calls himself Yanidel) living and studying in Paris. He's one of the most talented contemporary street photographers I've seen and has a special eye for magic moments. Also, he seems to have a high produce, which I support with passion.

I spent hours looking for my favourite photos on his blog. I don't like the polished look in some of his photos, but others completely blow me away and leave me speechless. I hope we will all see more of him. And Yanick, if you ever want to get rid of your Leica M9, I would take it, maybe...

While posting his photos he makes up stories, and states in one post: "You see it, but you are not part of it." This could be my life doctrine. It think sticking to this sentence and only posting the pictures where this applies (I only posted the ones where it does) would give him an even more impressive and stronger profile, but I do adore these photos, truly. Congratulations, Yanidel. You're one of my biggest inspirations these days.
