Asphalt Chronicles

Asphalt Chronicles Asphalt Chronicles is a photographic journey through pick-up basketball landmarks. This is not about NCAA, NBA or the PROS. Kevin Couliau.

This is not about the show, coaches and performance. This is not about money, sponsors and medias. It's about the true essence of basketball, this universal movement taking place on the playgrounds :
pick-up basketball. Everyday, millions of souls haunt the courts with passion, love and dedication. Some compete for the pride and social status earned on the blacktop, others use it to heal the wound

s or escape the daily routine. As an active member of the community, I started capturing the sport in 2004 - from my hometown in France to more than 50 cities across the globe - witnessing the game’s aesthetic and highlighting the hallowed architecture and landscape of each playground. ASPHALT CHRONICLES is an endless photographic pilgrimage and is my reverence to basketball. Official website : asphalt-chronicles.com

" Deep Impact "
Honored to have the support of my long time friends and basketball heads Benjamin & Fabien, two of the three minds behind .paris . Up on the walls of Big Shot, next to some iconic memorabilia, "Deep Impact", a 75x50cm fine art print within its wooden black floater frame. The photo was shot in Siargao, Philippines as I was exploring the island for the most scenic courts and makeshift hoops !
If you’re into good coffee, just make sure to stop at .paris , take a selfie with the print and tag us all.
