Out of Office AutoReply

Hey guys, 

I am cruising in New Mexico and will be back next week. I shot film mainly so i can’t post anything serious yet… But you really do get your kicks on route 66, check this funny ad i saw last night.

Kyle Oddson

My old friend Kyle crossed the country from Portland to NYC on a motorbike just to spend last week end with me. This is friendship, isn’t it?

He arrived on friday covered in dust and i took a couple of pictures to celebrate.

 I met Kyle a long time ago at photo school in Paris where he was a foreign student. We weren’t really close at the time mainly because of the language problem. A few years later, when i decided to move to NY, i answered this ad on craigslist from a photographer looking for a roomate… Kyle was actually on the other side. And a couple of weeks later, we were moving in a small railroad appartment far away in bushwick.  It was a bit crappy ( see below) but to us, it was a kingdom.

We were poor, living quite a bohemian lifestyle. But it remains one the happiest time of my life.

Even the alternative shower is now a good memory…( see naked Kyle below)

 

The twins

This one is not from me, i found it yesterday at the Brooklyn flee market.

 

I collect portrait photographs since a few years now and most of my collection is in france so this is actually the first addition since i got to NYC.

I actually really like this one, It has a weird echo with the twins serie of Diane Arbus.

Michael Gandolfi

Another of my very photogenic friend, Michael Gandolfi stopped by this week to watch a soccer match from the European Cup. (Go France!!!) 

Took a few portraits.

 

Jerome Jakubiec

 

I took a portrait of my friend Jerome Jakubiec a few days ago.

He is a very good photographer as well as a generous, charming and very photogenic friend, with whom i share among other things, frenchness, left-hand writing, dropping off law school, catastrophic guitar skills and a certain taste for day-time drinking.
