(Please contact on lejapon.fr ) Je suis un photographe et normalement j'ai toujours un numérique sur moi... ce coup-ci je n'avais que mon iPhone... je faisais une petit pause après déjeuner. C'était le 11 Mars 2011 pendant le grand séisme magnitude 9 au Japon. J'étais dans un magasin d'électroménager à Yokohama...
