For us it was our most successful year in our liefs so far!
We had the opportunity to work in New York, Paris, London, Istanbul, Bolzano, Vienna, Brussels…
We have been invited to big Festivals like the Ars Electronica, found a Gallery, did some nice expositions and meet a lot of nice people.
For us there is nothing to add, except to say THANK YOU.

Une photo d’action de POM, Gé et Joos parce que ce qu’ils font est toujours incroyable autant dans le format, que dans le placement et que dans la bonne humeur que ça apporte à tous sans avoir à se creuser la tête. On regarde, on sourit, j’adore ça. Et puis aussi parce qu’ils sont adorables et que j’ai la chance de pouvoir les suivre de temps en temps dans leurs sorties. Dernièrement, la 3e édition du festival One short One movie s’est appuyé sur leurs collages à l’UGC Capitole pour les thèmes des courts métrages. A (re)voir par ici.

Action photo from Pom, Gé & Joos. What they do is always amazing because of the size, of the place and for the smiles they bring to everyone.

lois di de2008 aura été pour moi l’année du retour à l’argentique et surtout la découverte du moyen format qui a changé ma vie de photographe amateur…
J’apprécie particulièrement l’exercice du portrait avec ce nouvel outil pour moi. Voilà donc un portrait de Julien Loïs, ami coloriste et illustrateur qui vous laisse sur le cul en trois coups de crayon. Ici devant un détail d’une de ses dernières réalisations murales pour une librairie de BD.

In 2008 I came back to analog photography and I discovered Medium format film. It really changed my life of amateur photographer.
I particularly enjoy shooting portrait with this “new” tool. Here is Julien Loïs a friend of mine who is an incredibly talented illustrator. On the photo he was working on the wall of a comic shop.

Et enfin, Ricardo, le factotum de l’association Nicole Crême, sérigraphe fou et talentueux avec qui Loïs et moi avons démarré une petite production d’affiches sérigraphiées de qualité.
Peut-être plus d’infos bientôt sur ekosystem…  ;o)

oeno mister tGhost subway station in Paris. I love this place because we can find some very old school pieces. (Oeno on this one !)

theworld2final2 mister tPerfect place (Quay d’Orsay), it reminds me some great moments. and the barges bring great light.

jsutMidnight marauders in Berlin

JustBerlin is broke and besides having no money for the anti-graffiti-fight
they too have no money for infrastructure / building costs etc. There
are so much abandoned places like this old & unfinished Parking-Garage.
Finding a chilled spot for doing some graff in the daytime and in the
middle of the city is no problem at all. (Hey Chris).
