europa-europa

no wonder milan kundera, rilke or kafka came from prague. i would say that is the most perfect city to become a literature´s classic. such a inspiring place, just from walking around, -tren stations, cafes, beautiful arquitecture untouched by the world war everywhere, snow and this calmed river, the moldau, dividing the city in two. you get stories, words, images to write down in an unstoppeable way. it has this good old europe feeling. the one that shouldnt be forgotten.

spots in münchen: englischer garten

that was a foggy day im munchen town and i love this special fog that starts in the fields of the englischer garten. now we have snow. like a snow-white-fairy-tale-sort-of-movie. when you step with your feet on the snow after the snow is gone, you get all this ice that makes your shoes slide quite a bit. this crunch cruccnhch noise that follow your steps all the way around until you get home and your black high top sneakears are between black and white with all this white powder that is so cool when you go to the mountains. i cant bear the heat. lows down my pressure extremely, there is no way to get rid of it. with the cold is a bit another story. layers and layers of socks and pants and pullies and hut and gloves and you sort of can beat the at least -5 every day. now, about this pic, this is another of my favs spots in munchen, the englischer garten, an amazing park bigger than the central park of ny where everybody come to hang out in summer/spring, beautiful. they keep everything exactly as how it was originaly designed, back in 1789 by Sir Benjamin Thompson, a complete romantic fantasy: plants and trees and flowers and fields and lakes and swans and ducks and bier gartens.

listening to the nouvelles vague version of visage´s fade to grey. it fits perfectly with this overwhelming sensation you get riding the fields with the bike when is full of this fog.

maya-paris-farewell

maya is moving to paris because she got a residency there to keep up working with her art. this are some pics from the very beginning of the farewell that was arranged in madrid for her, which also happened to be the same night as my b-day so we all ended up having a crazy party at the studio from the biografica boys, in malasana. sorry the delay of this pics but is one of the things of working with film.
madrid. paris. munchen. the connection expands but i must say that i love having friends living in paris. is a great city to wake up late on a sunday have a quick shower-coffee, leave the studio by the Palais de la Bourse that some fashion magazine photographer have lent to your friend while he is abroad doing photos and go out to have a nice brunch full of those beautiful jams/cheese they have over there.
mmmm. paris. nice. it brings me really nice memoires.
