Mexico in Paris in Mexico
This is Luis. The friend, fellow project maker, cook, garden keeper, teacher, laughing partner and guardian of Casa Rincon, the family house in Mexico where Adrian has a recording studio with Erlend. We go there every winter and find the balance we need when living a hustle hustle city life in Paris. We think of Luis often and have this portrait I took last January, here with us in Paris ... a land far away from the tropical coastline of Mexico.
Extraordinary Places
We went on an afternoon drive out into the dry golden plains that surround Marfa, TX and found this oasis. There is a small natural spring that feeds into this pond as well as a water silo that sits next to it. We helped my sister , Simone, climb up the ladder on the side of the silo and took some warrior princess style portraits. When I feel restless, going on a long drive outside a city and into a natural setting is the best.
If I were to release an album, this would be the cover.
If you would like this photograph, you can acquire it here. It was taken on a medium-format Rolleiflex camera from the 1940's.
Clemence
I love this portrait.
She is shy and tough.
I came across it when viewing portraits taken with the same Rolleiflex medium format camera as me.

Marfa Freeze
A water main broke on the corner behind the courthouse. The result was a glittery townscape frozen in time in an almost black & white photograph. I stared and stared and it kept getting more exciting. The chain link fence turned into a crystal lattice and the icicles everywhere looked like perfect ice swords.
JB Blunk House
We visited the JB Blunk house last month, up in Inverness, CA. It's an active home studio with revolving resident artists and craftspeople that continue to add magical vibes to the late JB Blunk's creative space. The house now functions as one of the best residency programs in the country.
I dream of doing a residency there with Adrian, and will hopefully do that in the next couple years.
It's the ultimate northern California location for searching deep into your instincts for art making.
Off in Mexico
I'm finally back. Mexico is what's missing in my Paris life. It usually takes me 3 days or so to actually BE here, after I've arrived. I'm here now.
