Eddy Saint-Martin's drawing number two

Bianca is a lovely and truly fascinating woman. She's British and works as a photographer's agent for a Paris based international agency. We had dinner this evening to talk about work, but finally had an intense exchange about our lives. I felt like being deeply connected to her (Paris)

GUEST
 

For 1 week from Thursday the 15th of November  to Wednesday the 21th, I will have the pleasure to host my friend the Franco Haitian painter Eddy Saint-Martin on this blog. He will be expressing his personal vision of portrait through drawings.
Welcome Eddy and thanks in advance for sharing with me.

This evening I went to the major Haitian artist (and chaos master) Mario Benjamin's painting exhibition at La Revue Noire's location (Paris)

The weather has been so bad in Paris today, I felt like posting this portrait of me shot by Julie last summer (Ibiza)

My friend Danielle visited me this afternoon. We had a talk about vulnerability and voodoo, among many other subjects... (Paris)

In the train back to Paris with Patrick Rémy, the Deauville Photo Festival's Art Director (France)

Babette is a French photographer. When we met for the first time, just before the summer, she was back from London and thought I was a famous American photographer. What made her a bit shy. We visited the Deauville's photography festival with friends this week end (Normandy)

I was in a bar, this afternoon, complaining on the phone about trendy people, the industry's cynicism and the vacuity of all this, when an unknown young man interrupted me. "Sorry", he said, "I heard what you said and there's something I would like to tell you. I wrote this for you". I took the piece of paper he gave me and asked: "who are you?". He told me his name (I unfortunately forgot) mentionned that he was a young photographer following my work for a long time, and suddenly left. I've been deeply moved by what he wrote: "THERE'S A LOT OF LOVE IN YOUR PHOTOGRAPHY WORK, HENRY. AND LOVE HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH BEING TRENDY. KEEP ON SHOOTING !!!", RGM. It has been very nice to meet you RGM. See you one of these days at the same bar... H

Jeffrey Burch is an Australian, New-York based, art director and publisher. He published my second book in 2008. Our collaboration was based on internet and mail exchanges only. When I met him for a drink this afternoon in Williamsburg, it was the very first time I saw him in flesh and blood (New-York)

Britta, early in the morning, just after running a 6 miles race at Prospect Park (Brooklyn), and Judith, late at night, on the phone (New-York)

 

Today, after shooting the New-York artist Dike Blair's sophisticated apartment (for a life style Spanish magazine), I had a professional meeting on Broadway and went back to Stephanie's place in Williamsburg, where I'm staying (New-York)

Tonight I went out with my friend Britta Uschkamp. We took a cab from a Britta's female underwear collection presentation to a famous French champagne brand's event (New-York)

Sunny morning in Brooklyn (New-York)

Can a woman suffer from being beautiful? Amandine told me that she did, during a long shoot in an empty flat (Paris)
