Humor

Pour Martin Parr, "seul l'humour peut nous permettre de trouver le salut face à l'atrophie morale et à l'absurdité qui caractérise nos vies quotidiennes".

3) Horncastle, Lincolnshire England, from "Common Sense", 1998
4) Jurmula, Latvia, 1999

For Martin Parr, the moral atrophy and preposterousness of our daily lives means we can only find salvation through adopting a certain sense of humor.

If you're ready to go a step further... you shoud try this!

I find humor in irony too. I like tea by the man-made lakeside. Really enjoying today's CV theme - we should all find a bit of humor every day. Cheers~

J'aime le travail de Martin Parr... sans doute pour son oeil "décalé"...

Parfait pour un sourire et un clin d'oeil !

On peut rire de tout...
