l'amour toujours

February 15th of 1986, the day we first met.
In the weeks that followed, we sent each other cards & letters, spoke occasionally on the landline and took pictures with cameras.
Love grew and we traveled by train to see each other, weekends in The Hague and Zwolle alternated.

Today, 15th of February 2026, and yes, it's really been 40 years since it all began... So much love came out of it.

paris - fête d'anniversaire

Paris - 1st of august

It's my birthday!

We were already in Paris in February, just a little too early for the David Hockney 25 exhibition at Fondation Louis Vuitton. So my birthday was a perfect occasion to go back in August. Celebrate life...

A whole lot of Hockney, quelle fête!

It was a day full of color, wonder and happiness in Paris and in the evening we dined at Joli, in a magical museum garden in Le Marais.
