Marcin, the leader of my Polish fan-club expressed the desire to see more of my older pictures on this blog. I am not going to give in all the way. Instead what I’ll do in the “Couples” series I’m starting here is I’ll try to make two pictures match. Not perfect matches. It might be a match through content or by form, or both. It could even be a bit far fetched sometimes…
The only rule is: there should be AT LEAST 15 years between each picture…

I had just joined Agence Vu and it was the real beginning of many even more exciting years.
