February.
Get ink, shed tears.
Write of it, sob your heart out, sing,
While torrential slush that roars
Burns in the blackness of the spring.
Go hire a buggy. For six grivnas,
Race through the noice of bells and wheels
To where the ink and all you grieving
Are muffled when the rainshower falls.

Take down the love letters from the bookshelf,
the photographs, the desperate notes,
peel your own image from the mirror.
Sit. Feast on your life.”
— Derek Walcott, from “Love After Love”
In 2009, Pepe Lopez, a young Mexican torero ( bullfighter) welcomed me in his family and gave me the opportunity to follow him during his daily life, his training and preparation for his fight on Plaza Mexico. I will go back with him in February. I wonder which new perspective It will give to my photographic work. I feel confident…
Little voices, humble signs trying to be heard…

I am in love with Coney Island and its Mermaid Parade…Unconditional love! For the joy, the spirit of love and the innocence, the creativity and the affirmation of individuality. I also really love the fact that Mermaids have an open spirit and welcome brothers from another world: Sea Rabbits, wrestlers…
This is probably why Mermaids will never die!
