封面故事

巷仔口網站共有六張隨機封面照片，均來自於一位法國業餘攝影師Benoît Girardot在台工作期間的作品，並熱情免費提供給本站使用。Benoît在Flickr的相簿中尚有許多精彩的臺灣巷弄攝影作品，歡迎有興趣的朋友前往欣賞（https://www.flickr.com/photos/litanies/），以下是Benoît自己書寫的自我介紹。

My name is Benoit Girardot, I am a French citizen.

I instantly fell in love with Taiwan when I landed in Taipei 10 years ago for a mission as a marketing manager, and my heart has stayed here ever since.

I started to take pictures in the streets of Taipei while learning Chinese to get to know Taiwanese people better, mostly at night after my work.

During those sessions, together with my friend and mentor Hubert Kilian, I met and exchanged with lots of people, many of whom had incredible stories to share, and I have been deeply moved by what I saw and heard – it became one of the most memorable life experiences I ever had.

Photography is a (somewhat incomplete) way for me to share the feeling of those nights in Taipei, and I am still searching for better ways to share this experience that spanned over around 5 years of intensive photo shooting and night sessions.
