Language: Italian Instruments: basso per l' organo. Italian text. O fronde, honor de le famose fronti, o sola insegna al gemino valore! O faticosa vita, o dolce errore, che mi fate ir cercando piagge et monti! O bel viso ove Amor inseme pose gli sproni e 'l fren ond'el mi punge et volve, come a lui piace, et calcitrar non vale!

Born in France in , Simon Chaput has had a passion for photography since his father gave him a Kodak Brownie camera for his 8th birthday. As a youth, he devoured photography publications and taught himself how to shoot and set up his own darkroom so that he could print his own pictures. His intent was to study photography at secondary school, but due to setbacks, including required French military service, his desire to be a photographer was thwarted until later life.
