snapshots

new market (Delkab market, flatbush ave), new streets, new cakes (cerise sur le gâteau at least)… Chinatown is a double of Hong Kong… a nice meeting with a latino lady and her dog "se llame Shakira, habla español"…

yiorgos kordakis…

… and his series of photographs about America: http://www.yiorgoskordakis.com/
All the series are amazing. It reminds me this beautiful movie by a greek filmmaker theo angelopoulos, comme quoi, 'Ulysses's gaze', with harvey keitel: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DaUEulIEBV8&feature=related
Very strange, i had the souvenir that this movie was in black & white but no, why my mind switch that?

las vegas: the emptiness and the fullness

I have been in las vegas one month ago and a part of me is attracted by this city and the other part hates it. This city is perfect for a crime scene. The strip looks like a movie set and behind this, there is nothing: empty park cars, some cars driving, nobody in the streets… I was frustrated not to walk in the streets as i used to do it in brooklyn. My soles were melting each time i was crossing streets. To stay in the casino with all this din reminded me Macau. Not to see the light, and to find the exit was a real journey: i became claustrophobic. Loneliness and sadness, richness and poorness… belongs to this city.
