Photographer’s Note
Today is the 2nd turn of town council election in France. It is the first election since the presidentials (well there was the legislative election right after the presidentials), and there is a great stake there for the government (liberal) and the shadow government (socialist).
Votes ended a few minites ago and we're about to know if people followed him...;o)
Title inspired by the following song lyrics =>
"Follow Me" by Uncle Kracker:
You don't know how you met me
You don't know why
You can't turn around and say goodbye...
...Follow me everything is alright
I'll be the one to tuck you in at night
And if you
Want to leave I can guarantee
You won't find nobody else like me
I'm not worried 'bout the ring you wear
Cuz as long as no one knows than nobody can care
You're feelin' guilty and I'm well aware
But you don't look ashamed and baby I'm not scared
I'm singin'
Won't give you money
I can't give you the sky
You're better off if you don't ask why
I'm not the reason that you go astray and
We'll be all right if you don't ask me to stay...
You don't know how you met me
You don't know why
You can't turn around and say goodbye...

ABOUT THE THEME
After a period of exile spent in Elbe island, the fallen Emperor Napoleon land on the 1st of March 1815 from the "Inconstant" schooner at Golfe Juan. He'll reach Paris in 20 days and be welcomed as a Hero on his way by the armies sent by Louis XVIII to stop and arrest him.
The Napoleon route (N85) is today very busy and allow reaching Grenoble from Cannes by car, passing by all the villages where Napoleon went through.
This journey is called the Eagle flight (Le vol de l'aigle). It comes from a famous Napoleon statement " L’Aigle volera de clocher en clocher jusqu’aux tours de Notre-Dame".

C'est un bon portrait même si je trouve certaines zones un peu trop sombres, j'aime notamment ton cadrage n'englobant pas dans son entièreté le bicorne ainsi que ton choix du noir et blanc...
Par contre j'ordonne à la bête infâme Napoléon de sortir du corps de Prisley !!
A plus...
