Skype me, Skype me not

It's ironic how methods of communication sometimes turn into
a chaos "d'incommunicabilité".
I kiss your bad mood.

ناطرة زمور ؟



Here is to women !
Here is to "Schaeffer" et l'attente des femmes !
Here is to looking at you kid, for making me wait...

Au delà de cette limite, votre ticket n'est plus valable

AIRPORT / DAY
You check in. You get on your plane.
New grounds ahead. 
As you land, you're humming to yourself I'm sick of "Layovers"
You devour gates, you get to the one displaying those six little letters 
BEIRUT
You move around in line, you hand out your ticket then comes a voice:

Je m'excuse monsieur mais "au delà de cette limite votre ticket n'est plus valable"

Welcome to DXB, where layovers turn out to be destinations.

from Beirut to Beirut

I thought Emmanuel should have landed by now.
So I waited and waited, then waited a little bit more.
Then suddenly ! Nothing happened.
So I decided to take a walk to a small souvenir shop in Hamra,
picked up a postcard, vintage, just the way I like it, wrote on it a few words,
stamped it then....posted to this address :

Adonis Hakim
2nd street, Elissar
Northern Metn
Beirut - LEBANON

"Ta" nuit chez Maud



Françoise Hardy joue Maud



"Ma nuit chez maud" un film d'Eric Rohmer


Jean-Louis: And I'm going to be very busy

Maud: Business or love affairs ?

Jean-Louis: Love affairs, of course


Et bien voilà: tes nuits chez Maud se multiplient. Et dire que tu me demandais de prendre l'avion vers l'Est.
Je ne suis fidèle qu'à une seule ville meurtrière "Beyrouth". Les autres ne m'intéressent pas. Je te les garde, et Maud aussi.

La vérité derrière " Est-ce qu'il y a des croissants ? "



BB : "Est ce qu'il y a des croissants ?"

Gainsbourg : "Non, mais j'ai 3 chansons. J'en ai une sur les motocyclettes."

BB : "Je n'aime pas les motocyclettes..."

Another Boom

Another boom he says.

Alors j'ai décidé de lui dédier cette icone-photo.
Lui aussi il y croit de temps à autre, il me l'as dit une fois.
Je sais bien qu'il ne la rangera pas dans son portefeuille mais peu importe.

"Women are heroes"


Out-sized street art work by JR on screen.
Definitely the next #mustwatch on my list.
I'd like to think this documentary goes beyond
the exoticism of cities & their women.
Sometimes, having a woman in Sierra leone with her national
outfit, caught in your camera lens is sufficient to have a great
moving piece (tried it myself), its thriving narration of those women's real struggle that we lack.
