Thank you Asher for commenting...
I am trying to make a new approach with the manipulation of colours even if to do so, I have to dig for old (non erased) photographs.
Sometimes, one erases images because we don not like them. However, later we realize that a new approach is possible.
It doesn't mean that one must keep all the photographs even those completely out of focus for example... Hard to define a criteria...

I have been influenced on this manipulation - at the beginning - by Guy Tal even if his image looks like a bit repetitive, sometimes. But it is a new vision for me, a new perspective, a new way to look...
Another great influence and more recent one, is Hans Strand a Swedish whose manipulations don't look so, I would say manipulated
Others, like Michael Gordon making workshops with Guy Tal.
I couldn't forget Edward Burtynsky and his gorgeous images from the helicopter... with great and overwhelming projects of the
Anthropocene !
But, I have not stopped doing B&W completely which is reserved to other projects.
