Life is simple. Play like Man Ray and Marcel Duchamp
Life is simple. Meeting successful students.
Life is simple. If you walk the streets with Hopper in your mind and a camera in your hand.
Life is simple. If you walk the streets with Hopper in your mind.
Remains of war.
‘Gli Ingabbiati’
(I didn’t see the performances)
Being a guest in a hostile* academy.
(* friendly fire, don’t worry)
Sunday afternoon.
Facing Flanders, Ypres.
(no thoughts)
(while the sun was shining, I was looking for marks of happiness)
(while the sun was shining, we were spotting houses and landscapes in Schuiferskapelle)
(while the sun was shining, there was an Easter party going on at the retirement home)
(while the sun was shining, I was grasped by contemplation)
(while the sun was shining, I was among socialists)
(while the sun was shining, I was looking at a candidate princess)
(while the sun was shining, I was distracted)
(while the sun was shining, I was in Ypres, meeting people and dogs and Canon-owners)
