Flood - Ahrtal

In the night of July 14th 2021 a deadly flood rolled over the west of Germany.

I was assigned to document the devastating disaster for Bloomberg NEWS.

As I came back from a day Job in Berlin covering economy news, my Editor called me at 4pm asking to leave right away to drive to NRW.

The destruction was terrible as I arrived as one of the first Journalists in the village Schuld which was struck very bad as it lays in a valley.

Jimi La Paloma

I met Jimi on the streets of Madrid and we quickly developed a friendship.

He allowed me to photograph him once in a while.

Jimi was 54 when I met him and his real name is Zbigniew, every one called him Jimi La Paloma. Free just like a pigeon, that's what he said.
