Meet Monsieur Le Coq

This is what happens when your friend returns from a fucking war. Don't have a clue how these pics were taken.

Meet Nona

Nona comes from Sumatra and works as a public bus conductor in Jakarta. Her loud voice, incredible energy, extremely lively and warm hearted attitude to the passengers works as a charm. "I don't have much money but I am funny!" Sometimes she speaks english just for practice even to the locals. I can still hear her singing: "Sloooow down, baby..." She's a true life and soul of the bus which is decorated with a banner "Ora et labora!"

Meet Ujo

Me and Laura met this man at a regular flea market in Bratislava. He spotted us buying an antique frame which he was interested in as well. After a series of compliments to our choice followed by big ups to my camera he introduced us his idea of me somehow making a photo version of Hájnikova žena (The Gamekeeper´s Wife) a novel by Pavol Országh Hviezdoslav. However we did not really get it Ujo put a massive trust in our skills and insisted on us making his idea come true. What a huge ego booster! We had to think about that stuff for a while though :)

Meet Mohamed

This is Mohamed who calls himself MoMo. I met him on the road while waiting for a hitch from Djerba to Zarzis (Tunisia). We shared the same car we caught and had some good time in Zarzis which was his hometown. Mo proved to be a great "laid-back chiller slash instant tourguide". After a nice lunch in a local bistro and a couple of mint teas we set on a town cruise on his bike. MoMo lives currently in Europe with his girlfriend.

Meet Laura

 

Meet Jamal

Jamal comes from Houmt Souk (Djerba-Tunisia). Every sunday he walks his small herd on the town promenade while his sheep search for islands of dusty grass. He speaks fluent french but no english. That's why I can't write more about him.

Meet Giuseppe

I met Giuseppe (76) not far from his house in Vittoria Emanuelle street (Catania). He was sitting in front of a local church observing the buzz around. We tried to chat a bit however our conversation didn't make much sense due to my poor italian vocab. Wish I could ask him more things than just the function of his oxygen device and morning walks around his place. During our second meeting he introduced me to his friend calling me "mio amico Thomasso". He liked pidgeons and so did the birds like him.

Meet Gianluca!

Gianluca runs a designer Art Shop Kuken in Catania (Sicily). Half year ago he refurbished an abandoned place with some friends. He calls his shop his "bambino" and keeps tuning all details even you might feel it's almost perfect. Alimony for his baby make around a grand a month. Gianluca is a writer, publicist and an artist as well. He likes Kafka, oldschool Hip Hop and sweet liqueurs.
