Paparazzo
Trying a new lense with 200mm zoom I rented for an event tomorrow, ideal for paparrazzing around. I see this window almost every day and am always intrigued by the sculpture on it. It is a bit creepy, since there is a blueish light comming from behind it.
Canon 70-200 mmm. f/2.8
Nail Varnish Paradise. Searching for an interesting subject to shoot at night I discovered this bright spot with hundreds of tiny nail varnish bottles... color paradise!
Delphine. Aerial Sling (hammock, loop) belongs to the family of Circus and Aerial acrobatics. It is a long piece of fabric, hanging from the ceiling, forming a swing. What is distinctive of this fabric is, its length of approx. 2 meters, which allows the acrobat to get his whole body into it, as if it was a huge hammock and perform a number of poses and drops.
Feeling terribly sore muscles after trying it a couple of times! In the pic, my coach Delphine at the Geneva Aereal dancing school.

Great Swiss actor and theater producer Valentin Rossier. Here portrayed at his home in Switzerland.
Light was poor, but in the end I took it to my advantage, giving the picture an old portrait style. I find his way of looking very intriguing and captivating.

Making of Cold Blood, great show at Geneva's Théâtre de Carouge by movie director Jaco van Dormael and Choreographer Michel Ann de Mey. Film making on stage. You open your eyes and see nothing. You are in the theater but already somewhere else....brilliant !

Great to be here for the 11th time. Spirit of Davos they call it. Nowhere else to find this special combination of people, this kind of energy. Allways worthwhile the effort. Davos World Economic Forum Annual Meeting 2018
Hotel entrance covered in snow after days of blizzard. Magic return to the annual event for the 11th time. Davos, Switzerland
A bit of movement in Geneva's proverbial empty streets at night. Last bus.
Not so abstract: Detail of an oil painting on wood by Swiss artist Sebastian Ferrero. I bought it from the artist some years ago and never get tired of looking at it and discovering new shapes and colors eavch time

Zebra: Playing with shadows
Imperfect geometry - This pic was taken after having my first experience of aereal dancing. As I went out of the school I though the contrast was so interesting between my experience some minutes before, so exciting and inspiring, and this dark corridors, cold and empty but with some beauty in them despite of it.
Ivory ! These ivory elephants were brought to Spain 40 or more years ago. I think they were purchased in the actual Equatorial Guinea, then a Spanish colony. Today ivory trade is completely forbidden for good reasons.
