Welcome to Tech IT Easy new blogger Emmanuel Perez-Duarte
It’s an honor for me to introduce as a blogger on Tech IT Easy one of the best photo editing amateurs ever, and a star on the Flickr community: Emmanuel Perez-Duarte. Check his works of Art here. Faithful readers of Tech IT Easy had already read about Emmanuel here in a post dedicated to the e-commerce long tail.
A true geek user, as opposed to geek developer, Manu has always been an early adopter of software related to digital content: photo editing, music, videos; in short, Emmanuel is fond of all sorts of multimedia experiences and software dealing with it.
His favourite? GIMP of course. Emmanuel will try within his next 100 years as a blogger on Tech IT Easy to publish some tutorials about how to use GIMP (see review in French on Olivier Ezratty’s blog here). Manu also enjoys the spirit of the ‘open source community’ and open source software in general: so I’ll be glad to fight a little bit with him when he raises such issues.
Emmanuel also happens to be a very good friend of mine. Until recently, we were listed as ‘married’ on Facebook. But Emmanuel dumped me for unknown reasons.
When he isn’t on his computer, playing the piano, or using his digital camera, Emmanuel is an auditor at Renault, from where he’ll try to bring some industrial-geekiness to Tech IT Easy; before that, he was an economist in Paris @ Exane BNP-Paribas, where he covered Western Europe, Eastern Europe, and Latin America – bringing some more geographical expertise here. Emmanuel Perez-Duarte, like a number of bloggers on Tech IT Easy, just graduated from HEC Paris with a Master in Management Science specialized in economics.
We hope he enjoys being part of the adventure and wish him to have fun. Welcome to you Manu! I’m so glad to have you blogging with us.

WARM WELCOME MANU !!!!!
Thank you Jeremy for such a warm welcome! I think I haven’t blushed this much in quite a long time.
thanks too, Steve.
I’ll be happy to bring what I can to this community, I’m also very glad of this promising collaboration.
Stay tuned…
Welcome Emmanuel! Glad to have another open-source appreciator, and a graphic artist (wow!) on the blog.
P.S. Too bad I missed the marriage, I would have brought flowers :p
Congratulations Manu! proudly carry the flag of open-source development to Tech IT Easy!
Hi Emmanuel, as a long serving (1 week or so) blogger of the tech it easy community, let me join the team and welcome you.
(not quite sure “welcome” is a verb though, anyway : welcome Emmanuel).
Any chance we know why you dumped Jeremy eventually then ?
Welcome Emmanuel! I’m doing my working paper about Net art, so be sure that I will harass you to publish articles about that
Your work is just wonderful!
Vincent> Thanks! You may still send flowers to Jeremy, it might cheer him up after our (momentary) break up.
Ceciiil> Thanks too. And no, you will never know why. It’s a matter of National Security, and it involves Patagonian carrots.
Fidji> Also thank you! You may harass me, that’s pretty much why I joined in the first place (i.e. publishing articles, not harassment).
I am looking forward to reading your posts, Manu!
