Nous récupérons ensuite la route 32 jusqu’au port de Duqm jusqu’à Ras Madrakah. On reprends la route 41 jusqu’à Lakabi, on quitte alors la region de Al-Wustan pour le Dhofar.

Jean-Luc Kapetanovic began his adult life in the French Navy, enlisting at the École des Mousses in Brest before training at the École de Maistrance Aéronautique in Saint-Raphaël and earning his Electronics Brevет in Aeronautics at the École de Rochefort-sur-Mer. His final years of service were spent at the Lann-Bihoué Naval Air Station in Lorient — a city he never really left. During those years he played volleyball at a serious level with the Patronage Laïque de Lorient, competing in the Excellence Régionale division and reaching Nationale 3. He then built a career spanning three decades in technology leadership — Chief Technology Officer, Chief Information Security Officer, and Head Office Security Director at BIC Group, with earlier roles at Taylor Made Golf in California and Salomon in the French Alps, and the beginning of it all as a systems analyst at Régie Renault. He holds a CISA certification from ISACA and a postgraduate degree in Information Systems Audit from Paris-Dauphine. He retired in 2014. Instants Ordinaires is his way of holding on to what is fleeting: a light, a sky, a harbour at dusk. The photographs span a decade of wandering — from the coasts of Brittany to Iceland, Oman, Scandinavia, and beyond — always alongside Elisabeth, who shares his passion for nature and wild places. All photographs and videos are his own.
