This is a project of keeping a pair of pants alive.

Todd gave me the pants in the August of 2003 in Oakland.

The first major repair was in November of 2004 at Greg & Satomi’s (gold thread).

Second major repair was in June 2006 at “le 101″, Bordeaux June 2006 (orange thread).

Followed by a work over  of the seams in September 2007, during Cartondule, Lyon France (bright light green thread).

Most recently, I repaired the front pockets from scratch, July 200, at Anne’s house, Lyon, France (white & green thread around front pockets, orange pockets).

The orange thread has been used on many occasions for minor repairs.

A dark green thread has been used to attach the belt loops, roughly in March 2008.

these pants have served me well and were even featured in the New York Magazine Look Book, in December 2005.

The pants have been worked on recently, December 2010, and await a small over haul in the side seams. I will post photos as the work is completed !

Elle est tombée ! Donc ce matin, j’ai fait un peut de bricolage et J’ai lui retrouvé.

This is a story of a man and his beer. When I returned home last night, I put my beer outside on the gutter, to keep it cool. I chatted with my friends and forgot about it. When I returned, it was not there.

It had fallen ! so, this morning I made a tool for recapturing it.

Ce midi, j’avais une bière, pain avec du beurre et du chocolat.

At noontime, I had a beer, bread with butter, and chocolate.

This project is an attempt to take a vacation in the country of my birth.

It is quite interesting to be a visitor in a place where everything is at once, familiar and yet oblique, due to the time & distance between when I last was there and this visit.

I did not realise how much I missed the food.

but I did realise how I do miss the forests and friends.

And berries.

I miss picking berries.

Happily, I was able to berry hunt in Sweden in July.

As well as newer adventures in the Washington, Oregon and California.

September is summer.

10 chansons :

1. at dawn, the long river’s banks are swaddled in fog
2. the hull groans beneath the weight of our nets
3. and you, old man, how many fish will you bring home today?
4. upstream, the currents are softest
5. the fisherman sits down to a meager feast
6. the shimmering sun on the river’s back paints medallions of gold
7. empty belly thinks of rice, full belly thinks of beauty
8. the belch of smoke
9. many return weary
10. tale of the ungrateful wife

le transformation spirituel d’élan :

élan d’origine

dévoilement d’âme commence

avec un peut d’effort  l’âme devient visible

le transformation presque à fini

et voilà, l’âme dévoilé !
