Greetings.
I have been asysop oncommons: from the 29th of August 2005[1], andOversight on Commons since the 5th of January 2009[2].
There is a small page to explain how touse my images. Nevertheless, do not hesitate tocontact me should you have any question.
You can contact me through mytalk page (add a new discussion) orwrite me an e-mail. I will usually answer within 24 hours.
I might also be available on IRC on the#wikimedia-commons webchat and#wikipedia-fr webchat channels (Freenode network).

Many valuable documents are probably sitting in attics. We should ask elderly people to review their personal archives and consider publishing them under Free licences.
Orphan works are not in the public domain.Prosecution can happen.
Corollary: images whose author is unknown are not anonymous, and most certainly not in the public domain 70 years after publication.
I have contributed 12Featured pictures, 344Quality Images and 21Valued pictures as photographs. I also draw and I am competent with SVG graphics.
I am interested in portrait photography, and have thus documented several Nobel laureates and other notable figures (seeUser:Rama/people). I do a fair amount of technical photography in museums, sometimes with accreditation obtained directly, throughWikimédia France or throughWikimedia CH.
I take part in activities supported and organised byWikimédia France andWikimedia CH. I occasionally lend professional photographic equipment to fellow Wikipedians, and benefit from press accreditations and specialised equipment procured notably by Wikimedia CH.
I notably organised or was involved in the following events (for instance):
