For years I consider as a nomad with my dogs through the continents of the cold. Russia, Alaska, Canada and the Arctic. During my numerous expeditions, my eye got scenes mixed by happiness, by beauty, but also by misery.

I call these moments the Snapshot. I get them through my camera and my sight of camera to share them with you during reports, during exhibitions, during films, during conferences. You will discover soon, a quite new series of my Photos in the form of card to be sent or has to offer as well as posters..

When, in 1997, I decided to organise the expedition « NUNAVIK 99 », to meet with the Inuits on their dogsleds, one of my first preoccupations was to equip myself with a parka that would protect me from blizzards, snow storms, wind, and temperatures that could go below 50 degrees Celsius.

I knew the reputation of the outfit Metro Sportswear that manufactures excellent snow goose down filled parkas under the brand name "CANADA SNOW GOOSE"
