ots d’Images Magazine is an artist
run, not for profit organization, with emphasis on visibility and unicity.
In that way MiM is strictly speaking “un arrêt sur image” in a world where image has become the first edible goods. MiM is yours, a concret connection, a platform for whom wants to meet Art other than by clicking on “like”. Sincerely, Florence Besson

NEW YORK PEOPLE By Dave Beckerman “I don’t believe that you need to go to school to learn photography. It is more important to have something interesting to say about life, or if not interesting funny. When people ask me about where to study photography, I tell them to study literature or music instead.”

Self Portrait “The nicest thing, if photography is your favorite waste of time, you will notice a considerable change in interest and attitude during the years. Right now I am ready to go for special lenses to express myself or at least in a different way.”

Prestidigitateur dans la tourmente de la révolution...petit frère de Charles Cros... surrealiste et dandy... déclinaison d’un poète qui chante les blés blonds en rêvant aux courbes discrètes...

Nina Légère fumée, elle marche sur un fil de soie. Escarpins fougères en ses pieds parfumés. Ondule croupe roulant sous la robe bleu-roi, Grâce féminine magnifiée en fessier.
Le corsage agressif défie le monde. La poitrine en défilé militaire crie pour en sortir, arme lourde et ronde. Conquête de l’homme par ces attributs fiers.
Le minois est emporté de pourpre, d’embruns. Nez colonial d’une princesse Roumanov. Une bouche qui aime, mord, dévore quelqu’un. Les blonds cheveux cascadent sur l’ove.
Le cœur de son corps se place sous le ventre, entrée pour l’âme, grotte sans péchés viables. Navire voguant échouant sec dans l’antre connaît en son seing terre liquéfiable.
