6.30 AM...
J'aime ce temps ou une complicite evidente se noue entre les passants.
On n'est pas a six heures du matin dans la rue comme pendant le reste de la journee.
Les pas sont toujours ceux d'une personne seule, qui se melent aux miens quand je la croise.
Il cherche une clef et ouvre la porte d'un camion, elle va prendre son tram en fumant deja une cigarette, avec son gros cartable il ne peut plus fermer son anorak...
Il est 6h30 et quelque chose change.
Les passants marchent soudain en petits groupes, comme s'ils arrivaient du meme endroit.
La journee commence...

Sometimes it is necessary to be in front of himself...

London Heathrow, saturday 18th, 4PM local time...

I slept at Jim's place last night...
...We met more than ten years ago in france and we were not so close than in Los angeles...

Venice beach, this thursday 1PM...
...He's still sleeping. What can he dream ?

And me, what am I dreaming?...
I remember this stupid proverbe "Venice alone is worst than any place"...

I was driking a coffee...
It was 10 in this morning and I was driking a coffee. Bill sit down in front of me. He told me "Hi! How are you?". Californian always answer "fine thank you", but this morning I answered "quite okay".
We smiled. Then we began to talk about life.
He told me:
"If you take a photo of a detail of the face, for example focus of the noze of the person, you can say you made a portrait of the person. But when you see the picture you are not able to tell which was the colour of his eyes.
Life is sometimes like this..."
"I prefere to say 'for now' instaed of 'it is'..."
Now it is 3PM, we spend 5 hours together.
I have an appointment with Bill, 60, tomorrow at 9.30 for another coffee...
Nice to meet him.

LAX, Los Angeles airport, monday 10/13/2004.

This sky remind me a story...
Close your eyes and imagine a blue sky. When a grey cloud comes, like bad news, blow on it like a little wind. Try to keep this sky blue, all your life.
This morning the clouds were too many in this sky and the cable tried to keep them together...

This morning I saw this strange giant by the window.

I was in this tram ...
...Outside, on the window there was a big sticker, a commercial.
By the window I had to watch the landscape through the sticker and his black lines. It was like a TV...
