\\\\first of all, this post should have been posted ages ago but i just thought i would write something grand. guess i was wrong about myself, as usual. so in order to keep my mind focused i think i should just write sh*t posts and see what happens. free country, free blogging.\\\\
these photos and settings in the series remind me of the french cités i was once familiar with, though they also could be any other city in the world. mass housing system is something quite particular in style, and of course this "cité culture" can be found elsewhere in the world, not just in france. yet the clothing and the body build do refer to the youngsters in the cité and the hip activities they engage themselves in -- jumping off building walls etc. yea, does look kinda cool on newspapers eh.
these photographs are really intriguing eh. make you wonder HOW HOW HOW.

"DON'T speak like someone from the cité!"
if i ever did, i took it as a compliment. merci, salaud.
