Right now, nothing really matters.
But then (in no particular order):
Norway, petite poussins & amuse-gueules, Buffy, Citroen Deesse (black, of course), Kate & Milla & Gwyneth & Keira, Architecture, The Kevin Bacon game, Men's shirts in pink, Movies (as you American people say), Scotland, Books, Drinking apple juice while sporting Juicy trousers, Furniture design, Text messages, IMDB, SMDB, Photography, London, Screenwriting, Fashion, "PatRec" and spontaneously abbreviating things, Art, Stellan & Peter, Fairy tales & children's books, The English countryside, "Schoko Bons", Overknees, The smell of raspberries, "Shmalamalan", British rom-coms, Magazines, Sobranie's, MNG, Humming "The Girl From Ipanema" while hovering down the street, Being "mon coeur", Not forgetting anything... and a whole universe inside my head.
I believe in myself.
I believe in good music, and what it does to me.
If I’d be a day of the year, I wouldn’t want to be January 1. I would be very short-lived. I believe in a long, creative life.
For this reason, I believe in B-sides. B-sides survive longer.
I believe in love. Although it’s hard to believe sometimes.
I believe in not getting up before 10AM.
I believe in some form of deity. Good. I also believe in obscure creatures of the night. I believe that demons exist. There’s certainly one in my computer.
I believe in angels. I once "met" one.
I believe in the now. I also believe in the past -- I remember it. I can’t be sure about the future though.
Because I never recall my dreams, I believe in daydreaming.
I believe in Andy Warhol.
I believe in album cover art.
I believe in beauty.
I believe in Photoshop.
I believe it’s okay to cry sometimes.
I believe in the power of words.
I believe in German words that just can’t be translated into English. And vice versa.
I believe in talking. I love to talk! (You never guessed that, right?)
So I believe in the telephone as well. (Andy would have liked that.)
I don’t believe in my Palm anymore.
I believe in lists like this.
It’s also pretty obvious that I believe in the power images can have. I shouldn’t stress that too much.
I believe in jackbauering through a shoot, and then sleep for a whole day.
I believe in all tomorrow’s parties.
I believe in white trousers and Chelsea boots.
I believe in Nescafé instant coffee. Call me a chav.
I believe I should start smoking.
I'd like to meet:
Dunno... Everyone interested in fashion photography, I guess... Stylists, fashion designers, hair & make-up artists, models, other photographers... People interested in photography... But also: graphic designers, artists, film-makers, creative minds of every provenance...
[From now on, friend requests from people who want to sell me something will be denied. Commercial comments and advertising in my comment area will be deleted immediately. Not sorry, folks... Also, I will not approve friend requests from people who have set their profiles to private -- unless you happen to be a supermodel gone incognito. How can you expect to befriend me (even if it's "MySpace friendship") if you don't tell me who you are? Finally, I only add friends in real life to the “Top Friends†category, also people I know personally and people who correspond with me on a regular basis.]
