Is the youth wasted on the young? Well…I still feel like an eighteen year old Scotch.
There has been many faces of ME! and my dear friend and photographer William Santillo has seen and photographed all of them.
Yes that is me. In Tweed at a ski lodge somewhere in Julian Alps. Or was it at a gentlemen‘s Club in London? No, that was at a Czech castle somewhere in Tatras, where waiters wear tuxedos and hover about with trays of Russian Caviar and French Cognac? Na Sdrovje!
I think I will plead NOT guilty!…with explanation. I was framed! Will that get me off the hook? Please!
William and I have travelled the World together… from the Americas and the Caribbean, to the heart of Europe.
While shooting in Paris once, and as we took over the underpass by Seine with our equipment and assistants, curious police officers asked us what we were doing? “We’re making ART!”…We said.
That worked…Merci Beaucoup!
Mexico can be as tasty and sweet as the local Tequila. Hot liquid nights filled with music and laughter. Buenas Noches!
My favourite Red Dress!…wonder what happened to the rest of it? Oh yeah. I remember.
I love Black & White photography and so does William.
So whenever Mr. Santillo and our crew can sneak off and shut ourselves up in a hotel room….or go to a beach where we have fun and let our inner artists reign.
These are my favorite shoes. Nice, eh?
Dilemma! Which one would you choose? The top or the bottom option? Currently available in both!
While in Antibes France, I posed at the public sculpture named Le Nomad, that sits at a pier facing the sea. Visitors thought I was part of the sculpture. I am a work of art after all! And a Nomad. Nes pas?
Le Nomad sculpture was created by a Catalan artist Jaume Plensa and is installed on a pier in Antibes where it has a magnificent view of the sea. I’m lost for words!
Last but not least…
2. Venus & Adonis is a collection of erotic poems by William Shakespeare. The poem is inspired by the stories found in the Metamorphoses, a narrative poem by the Latin poet, Ovid (43 BC – AD 17/18). It differs greatly from Shakespeare's version. Shakespeare's version is hot. Ovid‘s is not.
Venus & Adonis poems were written in Elizabethan English, which in this case becomes a hidden reward for visiting me: Can you, as the learned guest, write me an email at salone@salone.io and quote back the poem you liked. There are 7 of them. Why? You‘ll see!
