Sure, I dream about my own book. Bet it could be a very exciting story of adventure for kids, or maybe photo album about slow life somewhere in Normandie. Meanwhile, my pic on the cover of the book, that was published in Spain and already got awards.
The author is Tomás Alcoverro, the most award-winning correspondent in the Middle East. He’s moved in Lebanon in 1970s and spent there the long period of the fifteen years of civil war (1975-1990) that devastated the country, during which he sent vibrant and vivid chronicles of life in a city split in two.
Here you can read the author’s interview about the book.
What I have to say about the pic? Like many of my most successful pics, it was made on the street, where I always try to catch something… usual. Yes, something that can explain the lifestyle of the place in simple detail. If you have traveled to Beirut or if you would ever, you never miss this Corniche promenade where all the beiruties spend their days and night. I wish you to catch the moment when the huge wave breaks upon stony ground and makes you fresh and happy.
