“The only way to get rid of temptation is to yield to it"
(The Picture of Dorian Grey by Oscar Wilde)
Porto is so beautiful - I could die right now.
When I meet Virginia, she seems to combine beauty with melancholy.
Just like the city we meet in.
We went on a suicidal trip only to get reborn again.
The funny thing is, the only one who fell this day, was myself.
My camera hit the ground, my knee was wound.

Or I just jump in the hope the wind or a bird takes me away |

I wake up and I´m alive |
My muse Virginia about the process:
This experience offered the perfect opportunity to end my Europe trip with the same spontaneity that it began with: as I was waking up on my second to last day in Europe, Esra asked me if I would like to be photographed that day - of course I could not refuse. I do not usually photograph myself, and so as this opposes my habits completely I surprisingly felt comfortable during the whole session. I had an incredible last day in the city trying to represent how Porto is the perfect place to die!
