IT STARTED AS A JOKE

–

It was November 2007 and I was in NY with my business partner. My friend came up with the idea of taking pictures laying down on the floor, which sounded like a great idea to me.

Since then, I have put together a series of this silliness, annoying my traveling companions and creating ridiculous situations in front of famous monuments and landmarks.

LANDMARKING ACROSS THE GLOBE

–

This project brings together my travelling passion along with my desperate need to finish anything I start. What continuously haunts me is the fact that I started too late; meaning that I need to repeat 20 years of journeys in order to collect new photographic trophies. I guess we all have our obsessions, don't we?
