On tuesday my friend Sara and I went to see the Tim Walker exhibition here in Milan. it was simply amazing. We couldn’t stop smiling while looking at those great prints and the props his used on his shoots :)
Here the are a few pictures of that day taken with the iphone.

Images taken last summer around Oxford Circus and Bond street.

So today I’m going to be a bit off topic and post my favorite cookies recipe :)
The images are not great because I cooked them at night (..and I was too lazy to take my lighting kit out!), but the cookies where yummy! thanks to ‘cavolettodibruxelle’ for the nice recipe.

Ingredients:
butter 225g
sugar 150g
brown sugar 150g
eggs 2
flour 250g
chocolate chip 100g
leaven for cakes 1 small spoon
salt

How to:
First thing sift the flour with the leaven and a bit of salt.
Add the eggs, the sugar and the melted butter and mix well. I used a kitchen robot because the knead get quite tick. When finished put the mixture into the fridge for about 10 minutes
Take your knead out and start putting small heaps of it on a baking tin previously covered with some oven paper. Don’t make the heaps too big or too close to each other as the biscuits will grow a lot.
Let them cook in the oven at 180° for about 10 minutes.

Swans where the first animals I met in Évian-les-Bains. The Lac Léman has many of them, and I have always been fascinated and frightened by those beautiful creatures, sometimes too gorgeous and calm to be real. But I think that If i was a bird I probably wouldn’t have been one of them, maybe a “canard”? but I’m not a fan of the word “duck” in english so probably not. Maybe I could have been a small swan painted in pink, perhaps that would have been more appropriate for me ;)
Anyway, all those talks mainly because I had this picture of a good looking swan I took on the lac of Como to post.
By the way I miss the beautiful autumn light.. I just can’t wait for spring, sunsets and warm yellowish lens flares to come back to me :)
