The Oeis' SDG turn, where photography experts Ivan and Philippe show us how it's done.

03 Jun 2006

A wedding shower for Linda Apeles and her fiancé Dan, who personally knows the band Franz Ferdinand. A surprise for me, since I compulsively ask people from different countries if they like certain bands I know that come from their country. "Oh, you're from Scotland. Do you like Franz Ferdinand?" "Yeah, actually I played with them." "Really?"
