ARTchipel Paris ART Meetup [5 beautiful Tumblr stories] - Tumblr Artist

Jean-Christophe Polgar | Kikothegnou [architect & photographer] - on Tumblr since Sep 2010

“iPhone mobile photographer, Tumblr allows me to share instantly my work, interact and discover new artists in the world, in the simplest way.”

• Why have you chosen Tumblr?
I find the way to post very simple and immediate, and the themes are various and likely customizable to get a nice display.
• Have you had beautiful encounters on Tumblr?
I’m always discovering stunning projects and artists on Tumblr, and sometimes I happen to meet photographers “in real world”. Nevertheless, shy by nature, I rather keep sober and respectful relationships with people on internet. One of the most beautiful encounter on Tumblr happened probably with Rery!

Jean-Christophe Polgar | Kikothegnou & Silvergnou (France) - iPhonegraphy / analog photography

Quiet, curious and playful, Jean-Christophe Polgar aka Kiko the gnou, is a Parisian architect passionate on the photography. Electric, romantic and evocative, he wishes to find through the photography some original meaning of the real world, to “glorify and light up what seems insignificant or common, in using ancient and modern pictorial codes” as Novalis says. He started shooting with his iPhone during summer 2010 and shared his iPhoneography on his Tumblr GnouPhoneography. After getting a small Pentax ME super and two lenses, he went back to silver photography that you can find on his Tumblr Silver Stories. (Interview with artist by ARTchipel May-2012)
