While I process the 7 zillions images I took at paris FW, Here are some extra images I had made at Boris Bijan Saberi’s performance in Berlin. As you will notice, they were shot on film, hence the delay in their publishing. I quite like forgetting rolld in my bag and re–discovering images later. It reminds me of a trauma I had as a kid, actually (not a too bad one, but one nonetheless): my father had found that I had got enough presents for Xmas, so he decided that some of them would not be given right away but later that year. Probably thinking that I would be really happy to get them then. When I finally got them back, later that year, not even, was all the excitement gone, but I discovered that the presents were really boring ones.

i have 200 images of today’s Mugler show. It will take me a couple of days to process them.
Here is just Jason farrer and his freind whose name I have forgotten, Rico & Nicola, and Dario (not in that order).

I am unsure whether there is anything I can say now about this that will not be said 20 billion times in the near future anyway. So I rather not say anything except: <3 (But that's not exactly "saying" something, is it?)

Here dear. Let’s string you up. Wheel out the air conditionning for us. Cool air and hot tea, buddy. Be dragooning soon, rolling droll to the moon for ice cream cake.

I never had had.

One who fingers savagely at a material knot and yet cannot undo it. To myself adding: “Have I?” A task in part the tissue of doubt.

I speak, too, of multiple larynxes.

Am I now happy to be able to tell stories and surround others with knotted space and endangered equilibrium?

Talk is conditional.

When do I ever suppose that my words sustain themselves within inner multitudes?

Reflective anonymous designs contribute to the development of one sweet sum which expresses itself as a bursting forth flame in the shanty a voice telling of them.
