I'm coming back...










...to my old vocation: work as a photographer. Since a few weeks on sundays I'm going to the Puces de St Ouen / the famous fleemarket in the north of Paris. The sun is often shining these days this makes it very agréable! For me it is very relaxing to amble around, look at all these things which are arranged like in a theatre. It is very interesting how the atmosphere changes the nearer you get there. St Ouen is a suburb town of Paris directly behind the Peripherique and rough and old architecture is completly mixed there. I love this Brooklyn flair there, that changes the deeper you get into the fleemarket into international and jetset-flair. You hear english, italien, german, russian, everything there. I like how the antiquaries are fading to the decor of their little boutiques.
