I was reluctant for a long time to return to the James Bay Eeyou-Istchee territory this winter. Not because of last year's journey, as described in my book Taïga, but mainly because I felt that the images obtained during the trip would be difficult to top. How could I experience more emotions than a full afternoon photographing a family of Canada lynx? Or when 20 caribou rush straight towards me? The distance between Rimouski and the Transtaiga road is also considerable. Over 20 hours by car and almost 2000 km, some of it on very isolated roads. Nevertheless, a species that is rarely, if ever, seen in this region convinced me to get behind the wheel and set off on my adventure.

Year 2023 is already coming to an end, and what an intense 12 months it's been! Without a doubt, one of the best years of my life, both personally and entrepreneurially.

The few dozen seconds spent gazing into the eyes of the arctic fox, my very first, were enough to revive my motivation. At dawn, in fact well before, I am already ready to face the cold to go in search of it. Since it seems to have more nocturnal habits, I adopt the same behavior to maximize my chances of crossing paths with it again. No luck that morning.
