the shibari school IS CLOSED

I had to write this blog post for several months. I could write a long article but, finally, it will be short. I decided to stop wasting my time on the Shibari School project. Why ? Because I don’t live in the appropriate country. I organized four meetings at home and, each time, I got the bad surprise to notice french people need a better education … I am fed of those guys who never say “thank you” or those photographers who never send the pictures. It seems they forgot something : I didn’t organize the friendly meetings for myself. So, I will continue my lifestyle : working and shooting like in the past 10 years. I stay away from the french scene for years and things are worse than before. I am not used to speak or drink with the mediocrities … so, I let them in the dark, paying for crappy parties in dirty places or learning shibari with fake teachers. I will do private sessions for foreign guest sometimes : someone coming from another country is more friendly, thankful and reliable than a local guy … that’s amazing and fucking sad ! Of course, I met few interesting people during those meetings and the exercise was interesting : but, now, the experience is finished and I prefer to stay focused on my job, working for my websites.

Voici plusieurs mois que je devais écrire cet article. Je pourrais en rédiger un long mais, finalement, il sera expéditif. J’ai décidé d’arrêter de perdre mon temps sur le projet Shibari School. Pourquoi ? Parce que je ne vis pas dans le pays approprié. J’ai organisé quatre réunions à la maison et, à chaque fois, j’ai eu la mauvaise surprise de remarquer que mes compatriotes ont besoin d’une meilleure éducation … Je suis gavé par ces personnes qui ne disent jamais “merci” ou par ces photographes qui n’envoient jamais une copie des images prises. Ils ont oublié quelque chose : je n’organise pas ces réunions pour ma petite personne. Donc, je vais continuer ma vie : travailler et photographier comme je le fais depuis 10 ans. Je reste en dehors de la “scene” depuis des années et les choses sont encore pires qu’avant. Je n’ai pas pour habitude de parler ou boire avec les médiocres … aussi, je les laisse dans l’obscurité, payer pour des soirées merdiques dans des endroits cradingues et apprendre le shibari avec de faux professeurs. Je continuerai de faire des sessions privées pour des invités vivant hors de nos frontières : quelqu’un venant d’un pays étranger est plus amical, plus reconnaissant et plus fiable qu’un gars du coin … c’est incroyable et sacrément triste ! Bien entendu, j’ai rencontré des personnes intéressantes durant ces réunions et l’exercice était intéressant : mais, maintenant, l’expérience est terminée et je préfère me focaliser sur mon travail, en bossant pour mes sites internet.

the 3rd friendly meeting continues with Clochette bound on the floor by Ben : strict ties before another bondage by myself … but you will not see any video, I tied a nice girl but we have an agreement to preserve her anonymity.

after this french time, my italian guest Andrea from Cordine Club tied for the second time a cool and smiling participant before to end this nice session.

friendly meeting #04 at the shibari school shot by Andre Marchandise

I didn’t get the time to write my report yet but one of my guests blogged an article about the last friendly meeting for bondage lovers at the Shibari School. Andre Marchandise is a talented photographer from Belgium and I invite you to check his blog post and the great pictures he took during the meeting :)

let’s continue to show you the 3rd friendly meeting for bondage lovers … after a guest, it’s time for my italian friend to tie Clochette :) just after, Andrea from Cordine Club continues to show us his skills suspending Clochette : all the participants loved the final result which was really aesthetic !

I will blog the last two videos next week, before the next session scheduled on September 5th with Mina. After my italian friend for meeting #03, I will be happy to welcome the french rigger Philippe Boxis for the the Shibari School meeting #04.

third video from the last Shibari School meeting : I tied one of guests with tight elbows in the back … this kind of bondage position is really restrictive and everybody has been able to take good shots about it while Anaïs captured the restraint time on video. I need to find the time to edit the rest of pictures taken during this meeting … more coming soon on the galleries page !
