Facsimile letter// Robert Gates
we had a remarkable sunrise, a “bluebird morning” common to late summer, as light cuts and bends through canyons-a shadow line retracts across the valley drawing towards the sapphire mountains to the east. it is a dream and a forgetting. a dozen or so friends and fellow churchgoers gather near the bank of the bitterroot river to witness. you lay back into the arms of the pastor and...

An unknown place
Mårten Lange: I have a friend who says he finds it very hard to make pictures in the city he's living in. He says that he associates photography with travel, be it physical or metaphorical. In a way, I agree. I can make photographs in my apartment, but I still need to get into a certain mindset. The feeling of waking up in an unknown place, a state of heightened perception. Do you know what I mean? What do you think?
Bertrand Fleuret: I think we all feel strongly that way.
Photography pushes you out of the house. I've spent the past twenty years away from Paris my home town, I lived in London, Amsterdam and now Berlin- after all this time Paris has become foreign too, all this unsettles me but at the same time I must have wanted it that way, and I must have wanted it that way partly because of photography.
