Many of you are asking me how I made the Ride my bike series.
These are my trade secrets.
At first I had to find a good quality, heavy and stable bike.
What could be stronger than a postman's bike?

Then a blacksmith friend made and welded two metal parts on the front carrier.

These "legs" are designed to receive Teflon clamps.

The goal is to install a camera tripod, in fact it's a selfie stick!

Many adjustments are necessary for the stability of the pinhole and
for framing.

The poses are 40 minutes long and it is absolutely essential that nothing moves.

The pinhole is equipped with frames to insert instant films
or negatives.

Now, all that's left is to do hours of testing, ride on the streets and capture the lights of my sleepless nights.

It took me 3 years to make this series of 6 photos to see here:

Thank you, so funny to do.
Great photos. I enjoy how you set up the scene, and I particularly like the images with the motion of water or sparks in them.
Thank you.
In fact the lights you see are the lights of the city that pass behind me, the camera remains open for more than 30 minutes, it's a selfie but with a sense of time in addition.
So rad. Hope the series goes to a gallery 😊
@sloe do you know one who accept me?
Well yeah, do you know one who wouldn't? I mean this is a feature series and I can see a gallery wanting to display the bike along with your work. Have you made gallery submissions before? Here in the States, they are looking for work that can bring people in off the street. This series is perfect for that.
Félicitations @jclomo pour votre beau travail!
