ALL THE THINGS THAT PEOPLE DO IN WINTER, THEY ALL MELT DOWN IN SUMMER

David Lynch, Reykjavik, Iceland, May 2nd 2009


So we went to see Mr. David Lynch this saturday. Needless to say he is one of the most fascinating artists of our time. I admire his work for many years. I never thought I could ever meet or even see him in person in my life. But I did and I feel so honored

He had this press conferance here in Reykjavík. Just a few people including the television channels and reporters appeared. Albert, Eva and me were there too of course. He talked a lot about that Transcendental Meditation Program. I was not interested in it at all, but it was indeed interesting listening to him

After the short conferance he was outside having a cigarette. I walked up to him - I was so incredibly nervous - and asked him kindly for a photograph. He was very friendly and so cool, he said "Sure thing!". After I took his portrait he was just saying "You got it!". It was amazing. I thanked him kindly and allowed myself to tell him how much his work fascinates me. He is so awesome

Thanks to Stuart who developed the film for me, the photograph turned out very well and we made a big A3 print later which is now beautifully covering my wall at home
