Un été à Paris...

For anyone who might be interested in what it is like to live in Paris and to provide you with glimpses of summer-time in Paris (a wonderful season even here - in spite of not having an ocean nearby...), here's the first installment of what I am intending to be a series of personal views of my current hometown through the lens of my 'leaving-much-to-be-desired' digital camera:

Nothing conservatory about it!

I just love the slogan for my alma mater's current PR-campaign:

    Nice work!

Vegetarians are better lovers?

I am sure many of you have seen this as it is one of the currently most emailed photos according to Yahoo. For those of you who hadn't heard about PETA's 'Live Make-Out Tour', click on the image-clipping below for the full news article.

A blog looking for its identity...

Well, this blog has just received a new name and I decided that the nature of the blog will be much broader than anticipated. Instead of treating it as a mere extension of my personal/professional website, I will try to develop this blog into a true personal blog reflecting interests and thoughts that go beyond my professional main occupation, music.

The experimental quality of these pages will remain, and experiences (and of course the always welcome feedback from other users!) will certainly shape the format of this blog in the future.

Well, there you have it. Enjoy the few items that are already present on these pages and I welcome you to visit again soon!
