Philippe

On the German National Day, I went with Philippe to see the Royal Deluxe giants meeting under the Brandenburger Tor. 

We joked about the fact that, like with every French event, they were late and the result was quite shitty. 

Waiting for the puppets, we realized that we both have the idealistic ambition to open a bar-restaurant here, and were already dreaming about its location, decoration and features...

Vive le Feu

After one year in Berlin, I discovered for the first time the beauty of the walk on Paul-Linke-Ufer, between Kottbusser Tor and Görlitzer Bahnhof. Crazily beautiful houses and much less children than in Prenzlauer Berg... Then I went back to Warschauer Strasse.

Antoine

Antoine went to visit me in Berlin. He is an object designer as well as a sound designer, and he wanted me to take some pictures for the cover of the album he is working on. Something around the idea of monolithe and concrete. Finally, we only had time for a few shots mainly at the Holocaust Memorial, though he won't use them because of the too big symbolism of the place.

Spreepark

Didier, a friend and photographer, went to Berlin for the second time this summer. Thus we went back to the Spreepark.

 

This old attraction park, the only one of the GDR, was a success from 1969 to 1989 and closed definitely in 2002, after what the owner shipped 6 of the attractions to Peru to open a Luna Park in Lima (and left everything else to be neglected). His Peruvian project failed. He was caught 2 years later transporting cocaïne on his way back to Germany... the drugs hidden in the "Flying Carpet" attraction.

First time we went there, we were caught and taken to the exit by Roms living in the park. So this time we were really cautious. We saw several of them patroling by feet and with a car, and managed to hide. This is the only attraction still working in the park.

Coffee doesn't help

1 day in Paris

I went to Paris for a day with the 6 a.m. flight that f***s you up for the whole day.

I saw Claire's new flat for the first time. She'll soon go back to psychology studies after nearly 2 years of break. 

Next to her bed, I loved this ironic association :

And this is Claire, waiting to enter a party at Le Nouveau Casino :

Weissensee

Some pictures of Nancy dressed in a lake. That was inspired by The Last House on the Left, one of my favorite movie ever. Though, the quality is not good, I guess I must still learn how to use my camera properly !
