I have lived in four apartments in New York- none of which was above the second floor. Now here I am staying with lovely friends Roger and Rachel, floating high above the city on the seventeenth floor of their building on the Lower East Side. My bedroom is a gondola. Every morning we arise before dawn, make coffee and settle down to greet the sun and awakening day.
I'm here to execute some portraits, but managing to see old friends, visit galleries and museums, attend dance performances and concerts and chow down lots of ethnic food.
I gave up New York in early 2005 to see if I could live happily year round in a small village in southwest France. I hoped, by getting away from the constant bombardment of big city distractions, to be able to focus on my own creative work. I see this blog as a bit of a record of this time in my life.
