 Saturday 29 September - New exhibition - Latvia
Europe has changed fast in the last 20 years. Once the borders had been open, we gained access to a wide new world. Latvia is part of these lands, a name on a map, so far, so close. One can dream of its cities, communist flashes in a crispy air. Hern42 in his new exhibition "Latvia" has printed these dreams on his cameras film rolls. Go to explore it now and join these mysterious characters surrounded by the dizzy and fuzzy perspectives of this eastern land which has joined the west.

 Thursday 24 August - New Exhibition: "Orange"
Arno has just published the first colour exhibition on BOP. "Contrasts in colors were quite pleasant when biking in the temples area of Siem Reap. Once you passed the crowdy Angkor Wat and Bayon temples, you follow some dusty trails into the jungle. Depending of the light, trees are going through different kind of green and the grey stones of temples ruins seem to be parts of this vegetal world. Then appears the orange reminding you that these places are still alive and deeply anchored in a spiritual world. This gallery is about discovering the orange. (Picture from Siem reap temples - Cambodia - 2005) "

 Tuesday 11 July - There and back again...
We add a new country to the ever-growing list of places where the BOP empire is crawling, slowly taking over the world...

This time Hern42 takes us to the jungle in the Philippines, in a trip together with his friend Holga the plastic box. Don't expect sharp pictures, wide angles or portraits with incredible use of the depth of field. Holga cannot do that, neither can Hern42 anyway. But you can expect *some* atmosphere...
Coming back is bitter... But it brings the possibility to leave again...

 Friday 21 April - BOP v2.0 Beta is out!
La nouvelle version de BOP est (enfin !!) sortie des ateliers collaboratifs zet virtuels des deux clowns de webmasters. Nous avons travaill? dessus d'arrache-pied pendant des semaines, nous y avons pens? pendant des mois, nous pr?f?rons taire le temps que nous avons mis pour coder l'affaire...

Toujours est-il que BOP v2.0 beta est disponible pour les gens aventureux qui se sentent l'?me d'un preux testeur (ou d'une preuse testrice ?!). Il y a un lien dans ces niouses si nous avons fait notre travail correctement (ici par exemple) ainsi que dans le menu de BOP 1. Nous sommes tr?s avides de vos remarques nous permettant de faire progresser notre nouveau jouet, aussi n'h?sitez pas ? nous faire part de vos sentiments... Nous ne nous vexerons pas si vous n'aimez pas, nous avons juste les moyens techniques de vous envoyer la mafia kurde, sympathiques et courtois, nous ne vous prenons pas en traitres.

Ah oui j'oubliais, vous avez le bonjour de Barth qui se pr?lasse sans doute, ? cette heure-ci (d?calage horraire non compris), sur les plages de la Malaisie ou bien dans un bar obscur de Shangha?, travaillant de mani?re, sans aucun doute cette fois, tr?s professionnelle sa technique photographique, son lever de chopine et sa brasse coul?e.

 Friday 17 March - Nouvelle expo de Jeff: Le moulin de Tencin
Jeff vient de publier une nouvelle exposition en N&B compos?e de clich?s superbes consacr?s ? l'univers d'un moulin produisant de l'huile de noix. Extraits : "Qu?on ne s?y trompe pas, cet endroit n?est pas un mus?e, on n?y vient pas pour voir comment on faisait l?huile de noix autrefois. On y travaille et on y fait de l?huile, pour la vendre ou pour la commande. A deux pas du gigantesque temple de la micro?lectronique de Crolles, quel contraste ! Il y fait sombre, et, ? premi?re vue c?est plut?t sale ; tout est recouvert d?une fine pellicule d?huile rendant ce qu?on touche glissant ou poisseux. L?odeur ?cre des noix grill?es emplit la petite pi?ce et par l?unique fen?tre entre un filet de lumi?re h?sitant qui traverse les volutes de la lourde fum?e."

 Sunday 24 July - Trop d'info tue l'info... ou pas.
Pour ceux qui sont maniaques au point d'?tre int?ress?s par des choses comme le nom du boitier, la taille de l'objectif et les composants de la soupe chimique utilis?e pour le r?v?lateur, il est d?sormais possible de renseigner les champs de donn?es d?tes "techniques"...
Oui oui on avait promis que les champs non renseign?s ne seraient pas visibles et ce n'est pas le cas (ils le sont donc, suivez un peu !!). Ca va venir, c'est juste que les vacances c'est plus fait pour parcourir les rues avec son boitier ? la main plut?t que de nerder devant un ?cran d'ordinateur !
