Misc others…

In february (…was it february? Something like that.) I took a 3 week trip around Europe. My first actual holidays in 3 years. I traveled by myself with an Interrail ticket. I first went to Berlin to meet the Blut & Eisen family, then to Paris (briefly), London and Barcelona. In Berlin I got very generously sheltered by Hannes and his lovely wife Anne. Unfortunately, it seems I lost the roll on which the photos of them and the shop were, so all I have left concerning Be is my (rather average) architectural shots. Here are the less bad.

BERLIN

BARCELONA

It seems I don’t have much for London and Paris but nice memories and random personal shots (nothing to blog about), so here we come to Barcelona. True to itself: beautiful and welcoming. Thank you Kike for the shelter & the LTW/Trimur families for… well the whiskey and vodka! ;)

Naza & the wickedest throat-tattoo ever.

Javi & the alls-seeing eye.

meet tasha…

Shooting Matt Lindsey and his customers in Birmensdorf with Alexis Zavialoff.
Fun day, drunk non stop from 6pm till 3am!
Lots of love.

miss you, lovely lady

This first post is dedicated to you.

I can still picture you, having just finished a session on a big piece, explaining with big gestures how you composed it and how it would evolve. Then you gave me some of the cleverest and wisest advice on my own piece I ever got. I didn’t spend a lot of time with you. But some way you touched me deeply. The day I heard you had left us, I had to fight to hold the tears back and today as I write to you, I hold them back again. I had the honour to meet you and to know you a little bit and I will cherish your memory.

You were generous and true. Just true. We will miss you.
All my thoughts go to your family and your friends.

Sincerely yours.

Maxime
