EDITORIAL - Money can't buy happiness

Money can't buy happiness: it allows one to suffer comfortably!1
CVphoto began its bilingual venture as of issue 24. Initially, we published translated summaries of our French and English articles, then we became more ambitious and opted for complete translations. Although satisfying, the enterprise proved to be costly.
Pierre Blache, Observations of Silenced Sites
At times, it seems that the most haunting images are those that, at first glance, appear to be innocuous - the very type that one would least expect to re-envision repeatedly, as a disturbing dream quietly recurring.

I heard a story a few years ago about a nineteenth-century photographer. His entire body of work consisted of hundreds of glass-plate negatives that no one wanted when he died. Eventually, someone took the glass plates to make walls for a greenhouse.
PORTFOLIO - Kelly Lycan
On m'a raconté, il y a quelques années, l'histoire d'un photographe du XIXe siècle. À sa mort, personne ne voulut de son fonds. L'ensemble de son travail était constitué de négatifs sur plaques de verre. Finalement, quelqu'un récupéra ses caisses de négatifs pour s'en faire une serre. Avec le temps, exposées au soleil, les images négatives inscrites sur ces plaques se sont effacées.
