A fashion weekend in Dakar is ready to start. This weekend the city of Dakar will enjoy a big fashion show and an article about Sira and my pictures will be published in one of the most popular magazines in Senegal. Sira is a fantastic model. So easy and pleasant to work with. She is very professional and natural at the same time. And incredibly beautiful. She has everything to succeed worldwide as a model, but just one thing stops her from her dream. She is big "indoors" but she needs to be known "outdoors". A big wall difficult to climb waits for her and many other africans at the border of her country. But we will find a way to climb it.

"Crazy, absolutely crazy" was how somebody described some of the pictures I took of her. "We want you to do these pictures, as nobody in Senegal does the same as you do" they told me when everybody was ready for the second shooting many hours before we had scheduled it.
I was at Sigil when I met Jules. He is a cultural agent in charge of the Sorbokane Consultancy Agency specialised in live concerts and festivals and the conception of art projects. He also manages ' JUST 4 U ', a music club with a garden where you can listen to great live music every week. A "must" in the night life of Dakar. That morning in Sigil, while talking, he put this song, 'crazy'. Listen to it and maybe you can 'feel' a bit of my crazy love for these people.

"I remember when, I remember, I remember when I lost my mind
There was something so pleasant about that place.
Even your emotions have an echo
In so much space
...
...
But Maybe I'm crazy
Maybe you're crazy
Maybe we're crazy
Probably
Uh, uh"

Sira es preciosa!!!
Nunca he estado en Dakar, pero me han entrado ganas de tomarme una cerveza en ese local tan MUST.
Estuve cotilleando más a fondo tu web donde están expuestos tus trabajos.....Eres muy buena!!! Lo hablaba con Masmi (Otro blogger de tu tierra) que tus fotos son alucinantes.
:-) la primera es genial, mezcla tantos detalles!!! regalame un 1% de tu talento!!!!
Pues mil gracias, Fanmaki! y gracias también a Masmi. No sabes lo que me alegra que os parezca bueno mi trabajo, qué bien!! :-)
Y si quieres, la próxima vez que vaya a Just 4 U te hago una foto para que veas el ambientillo, pero mejor sería que lo saborees tú mismo con esa cervecita y con los ritmos africanos vibrando a tu alrededor. Te aseguro que vale la pena! ;-)
:D Gracias Denise, cuenta con ese % para compartirlo contigo. Seguro que algo bueno sale entre las dos!!! ;-)
si, es mejor que lo saboree en vivo.
Bueno.... dentro de poco vas a tener una ocasión inmejorable para saborearlo, así que si te animas, serás bienvenido!
Yo de ti me lo pensaba!!
Gracias :)
