Procession Votive de la Passion, Roquebrune, France. This Passion Play began life in 1467 as a mark of thanks for the ending of the plague that had ravaged the region. Inhabitants of the village (Roquebrune-Cap-Martin) which sits in the hills between Menton and Monte-Carlo on the Cote d’Azur, perform the play every year on August the 5th through the village’s narrow alleyways.

120 minutes in possibly my favourite Provençal coastal town, Antibes, Cote d’Azur, France, shooting the people, life, flavour and activity on a hot July morning. Part of the fun of this was the challenge, 120 minutes, not a second over (except to attempt to park which took 45 minutes…), capturing something of the feeling, the spirit of the place in that time…
In common with 60 Minutes were the heat and the sheer amount of people – as you would expect in high season. Great travel shots aren’t usually made at this time of year which made challenge all the more interesting. Ironically, because of the number of people, I find myself wanting “clean” shots, shots without the hordes and, looking back, I’m not entirely sure that was the correct decision.
