EYES IN THE NAKED CITY


Someone has to bring them back into the daylight: Weegee's pictures of criminals, jazz birds and lovers caught in the naked nights of New York City.
If there is a higher spirit out there giving a photographer the opportunity to catch a precise moment, Weegee must have been drinking prohibited whisky with this guy. He always knew when and where; always the first to arrive at a bloody murder scene, a fire, arrest or rescue event...

"When you find yourself beginning to feel a bond between yourself and the people you photograph, when you laugh and cry with their laughter and tears, you will know you are on the right track."

A tribute to Usher Fellig.

LA VIE EST UNE BLAGUE

Indeed. And if I had 11 111 111,11 YUAN on my bank account I would be a fashion victim for good... question MArk.

What can I tell you about the new ELEVEN winter collection? Rock, rehab, lethargic, pfffff no? Casting Jagger and Stymest for the new campagne however was an abusive idea to cure their image... and as you might know, I am into all kind of violations. So please: Don't follow my lead.


Live is a joke, joke is a tribute. This one goes out to

GO AND REHASH MASTERPIECES. PLEASE.

...and this one deserves a cordial tribute. One of those brilliant refreshing cocadisco-remixes you won't get out of your mind... Or like I use to call it: A summer-smog song - liberally disbursed by Beach House and Toro y Moi, merci les gars.

ANACHRONISTIC.


...running out of patience, time and energy. can tell a lot about those enthralling activities in order to get that bitch you call visa, but in the end everything catches on.

i finally arrived in shanghai. with that old smile on my face revealing how much i missed that city. so here's a photographic tribute to shanghai 2010, anachronistic, contrasty, inspiring and inscrutable - now more then ever.

HOW MUCH IS TOO MUCH?

I can't get enough of that guy - season for season for season for season SS10.

Motley, deeply mellifluous and edged tribute to Peter Jensen.

A TRIBUTE TO GRENOBLE


Dimanche, le 3 juin 2007: The very first moment the aircoach arrived in that town and as I could instantly see the mountains by which it was surrounded through the window, my ipod was playing "Girl and The Sea" by The Presets.

I discovered Grenoble with this song, and I am leaving Grenoble with the same melody in my head - and a heavy heart as well...



This tribute goes to my dearest friends, the most wonderful persons I have met during the last 3 years in Grenoble. 

Merci pour ces précieux moments que nous avons partagé ensemble:
Soso, Réré, Flora, Mathieu, Silveur, Marion, Jade, Romain, Sab, Fanny, Tchong, Julie, Etienne, Evan, Max, Denis, Melka, Pims, Val, Martin, Antonin, Hugo, Delphine, Chipnou, Koko, Grasse, Simon, Charles, William, Nico, Caro, Sam, Bastard, Guilhelm, Loïc, Mag, Victoria, Théo, Frigo, Audrey, Léo, Astrid, Denis M, Marjo, Kriss, Emilie, Polo, Langlish, Marc, Youri, Céline, Victor, Vo Phoniq. 

Je vous adore, bande de Quechuas!

2AM Good night song

Outstanding movie, existential screenwriter, haunting soundtrack. First and for most to burn the midnight oil. Or not.

A tribute to sleep - let me get some.


BRISBANE, BERLIN OR SHANGHAI?

Wouldn't it be much more easier to let someone else take all your crucial decisions? Your whole life consists in shaking the magic 8 ball without relying on the result...


The chinese answer: "Tōngxìngē can't be held captive, you have to let them abscond." I have to go.
