nothing special in terms of equipment (i’m not at all studio equiped as you’ll see in the About page) so it’s just hand shot at 1.8 or 2 with the 50mm.

I met them at the Palais Royal stop and we went from there.

The stangest feeling i guess is when you don’t know the people as was the case with lola, trying to get comfortable and then here it goes, starting the laughs, the good moments and pui-ching asks me for the camera… i guess sake helped but we just started to shoot with it the 3 of us. took it in turns having fun unveiling what the lense would show from our deepest thoughts.

the meal went by with a few nice laughs and we then hit across the road for a few more drinks and a coffee, where we were more into the Black & white shots and trying to get something instinctive out of it.

A really nice evening, met a new great person speaking about Lola, discovered more on pui-ching and really… i must say… we have not been closeby for years, but our contacts and our friendship is for me totally established… and it’s just so good to be having fun here in paris with him, getting more buddy time is great (thanks for that pui-ching) paris_portrait_0562resized paris_portrait_0581resized paris_portrait_0585resized paris_portrait_0597resized paris_portrait_0618resized paris_portrait_0621resized paris_portrait_0642resized paris_portrait_0645resized paris_portrait_0647resized paris_portrait_0723resized paris_portrait_6194resized
