Hello,

I got an email from my friend Jens in Germany who takes care of my website and blog. It said something like: “…lots of people are already visting your blog. SEND CONTENT!”

Hahaha. So here is some content. Please find some picture below that I shot in Saintes Marie de-la-Mer, in Southern France. I hope you like them.

I spent the whole day today sitting in the right passenger seat of my Land Rover typing away on my computer. There was some leftover work for the Iraq book that I had to take care of and also a whole montain of emails to write. The campground that I am staying on has a great wireless connection, and there are few things that make me as happy as this. But it means also: work.

Today I was reminded of this guy on the New York subway that I met a while back. He is selling double A batteries. He keeps shouting at people: “… I’m not a beggar, I’m a business man! Business man, Business man! Business man, Business man!…”

So here I am sitting in my Land Rover on a beautiful campground close to the beach in Spain taking care of bills and trying to run a small photojournalism business. I’m not a beggar, I’m a businessman!

I’ll drive to Southern Spain tomorrow and will take the ferry to Marocco a day later.

On my way to Africa. I can’t wait.

Best

Christoph.

    Hi Christoph, I “discovered” your work on Lightstalkers and I love it. And this project is wonderful, simply astonishing!
    Just a question: how did you organize your camera equipment and how are you planning to manage your pictures, laptop recharging and the problems (I hope there won’t be!) you might get in a really difficut continent like Africa? Do you already know where you’re going to stay (lodges, hotels etc.), do you have contacts like photolabs, shops etc. or is it more adventurous than that? Just curious…

    Ciao from Italy

    Nicoletta
