With my girlfriend Yu Xian, who own a Leica M7 with a Summicron 2:35mm, we

have a photography project from three months now. When we are in a public

place (bar, restaurant, cinema...), we take each one photo of the toilets.

Then, we put the two photos besides.

We want to do that during one year (maybe more). For us, it's like a diary.

You can see these photos (and others) on my website :

Hope you'll like it.<<<<<

 

Bon jour Matthieu.

Welcome to the LUG and the Crazy House of the worlds most likeable
photographers. :-) Of course the most talented. ;-)

Your toilet series is a wonderful concept if you make it a world wide
coverage. I've only seen one booklet ever done in this fashion, so I'm sure
I'm sure there will be a large demand for a good book or exhibition if you
continue.

In1983 we started to work on a similar project in Canada to continue to many
countries as we had traveled all over the world and seen urinals. So we
figured it would make a great book. Title.. "Urinals of the World." But it
died on the publishers desk because 'SHE DIDN'T SEE ANYTHING HUMOUROUS NOR
INTERESTING!" Women publishers with no imagination in a men's toilet. :-(
Your concept of men and women maybe the answer.

Good luck and keep at it because it's a never ending series of photographs
that will amaze people.
