Free Spirit Sunday #3

My team and I were prepared –we thought-, but as soon as the first attacks began, I lost myself. They were hundreds, thousands, spread all around and coming towards us.

They opened FIRE with the speed of thunder as I figured it out that our end was near. With no place to hide (of course), I remember radio transmissions giving us instructions to retreat the area.

It was all too late.

on the way to or from celebrating new years with french champagne outside the eiffel tower ... or as close as we could get to it anyway. the metro was totally packed both there & back. everyone had to shove themselves inside ... stuffed like sardines! it was a great vibe though & i was taking portraits of people left right & centre. i got some great candid snaps of people plus lots of those who were more than happy to pose in their current state! the guy on the right was clearly desperate to light a cigarette the minute he got off the train!

the same night i went up to sacre coeur we ended up in a little wine bar down the road. i was with friends kerryn and matt who were staying with me for a while in le marais. we drank some great red & watched a giant bunch of philosophers - young and old - chatting in the bar. it seemed like one of those scenes you see in some french movie ... grungy looking academics talking loudly, holding their book by merleau-ponty or foucault & hitting the bar with it to illustrate their points of view.

 

it was fun ... and cosy & warm!

So i was at this concert, minding my own buisness, when an angel appeared. After weeks of being lost, its light showed me the path to follow. i saw myself reflected in her. i was complete. i felt safe. And the rest became easy.
