Guillaume a participé à PHPA il y a un an. Voici sa nouvelle exposition… Certains s’en souviennent encore, la photo de Guillaume Amat pour notre projet photo était assez électrique… Mais Guillaume aime le calme aussi, le brumeux, le mélancolique, le mystérieux.

Spanish Snacking – Tapas in Barcelona, Spain Tapas are an important part of the Spanish diet. A snacker by nature, tapas work well into my daily eating pattern.
