Sport : Kitesurf… no water in Paris ? Let's ride on the land !
Written by Eric Rougier , Tuesday 25 October
A cool day to ride near Paris ! Not a lot of wind -10 knots- but a nice weather and some friends.
One of my first videos with Final Cut Pro X. Easy to use. Twixtor with FCP7 seems to be more intelligent than the FCPX Optic Flow (my 2 cents). Have fun !

Sport : Powerkite Photoshopped
Written by Eric Rougier , Sunday 08 August
Powerkite + Photoshop is a good couple.
Three good spots for powerkite around Paris are Vincennes, Bagatelle and Cergy. Good spots, means a large place where you can use kites, mountainboard, buggy, etc, but not means the wind is good or regular :-/

Panorama, Quicktime VR : Sexy Girl in the Fridge
Written by Eric Rougier , Wednesday 10 February
This panorama is a very old idea joke made with a friend (and the model) after speaking together about it in a party. It's an easy 360°/180° but I share it here because I like the result. Half color, half black and white...(and because she is cute ! ;-)

Around the world : Paris - Africa - Paris on a motorbike
Written by Eric Rougier , Monday 28 December
A road trip from Paris to the Western Sahara (Africa). 12.000 km on a motorbike, a BMW F 650 GS Dakar. Paris > France > Spain > Morocco > Western Sahara > Morocco > Paris. Long and hard, but one of the most incredible month of my life. And one great week to learn the kitesurf in Dakhla. In the desert, yes.

Motorcycle : Yamaha XJR 1300 black and yellow
Written by Eric Rougier , Friday 01 May
Well, in fact a custom (Harley, etc) is not for me. I prefer a big roadster Yamaha XJR 1300. It's powerfull, confortable, not expensive and robust. Just have to buy a new mirror. And it's a miracle, my girlfriend like it. I hope I will keep it for a long time. I was looking for a roadster like the Triumph Speed Triple 1050 but it's not safe for my licence and for my life.

Around the world : French West Indies
Written by Eric Rougier , Saturday 01 November
A long trip in the French West Indies. Again, again, half for my job, half for my pleasure. From the East to the West, from the North to the South, people and panoramas are incredible. And it's cool to drive a XJR 1300 (thanks to Elisport Yamaha Pointe-à-Pitre) to visit the isles and a boat to discover the coasts. Hmm ! Living in a hot (30°) postal card and drinking Rhum during the winter is not bad. Perhaps I will never come back in France. [EDIT: well, I'm back in Paris ;-]

Roofs of Paris, walls decoration and stickers
Written by Eric Rougier , Sunday 09 December
It's coOol and easy ! My daughter loves it. Check their website.
"As Paris is one of the most beautiful cities in the world with a rich architecture, authentic urban furniture and different styles, they chose to use these Parisian urban symbols for interior decoration. With Paristic collections, the French capital comes in a variety of ‘trompe l’oeil’ artistic stickers which allow one to have a typically Parisian urban landscape in his house. An unusual way to extend this city and to make it yours."
