Get Featured: Fabien Lefevre
Fabien shares with us his work and his thoughts on the recent Charlie Hebdo massacre in Paris, and the protests that followed in its wake.
It takes time for me to think about that stuff and what i could say about it… but here we are, a little contribution…
I’m Fabien Lefevre, 28 y/o from Le havre, France.
I’m not that much into street photography, but sometimes when big things happen, i have to take one of my camera in order to show my vision on such events…this times it was my Xpan.
I was truly sad, disapointed, revolted and upset after the CHARLIE HEBDO Attack. And i was not alone.
At first i was scared by the amalgam people can do about such things, but what I saw was encouraging.
I heard a lot about French people: Lazy, dirty, cocky, haughty and aging and we all have all sorts of Stereotypes, Exaggerated and justified but I like to think that We are lions managed by donkeys.
Maybe i’m to optimistic but we show what we really are in this kind of situation. And i was glad to see so many people walking together against cruelty, the cowardice and the nonsense.
But yes we live in a world where men and women are killed to have drawn.
Why can’t we just get along?
Fabien

Dear Fabian,
Thank you for submitting your photos, and writing the accompanying text.
Using the X-Pan for these shots was perfect. You capture the mass of humanity with your panoramic shots, and the close-ups add a human touch. Some of the best I’ve seen.
As for you comment ‘why can’t just get along?’, I just don’t know. Here in the US, the left & the right are so angry with each other, they’ve managed to paralyzed our federal government. Little is being done for average people, but much is done for the wealthy.
This madness must stop. We no longer seek out common values, but look for our differences.
Thank you Dan! really appreciated it!
And you cannot be more right with you last sentence… Really Sad.
