Infernal

I had just said "NO" to a proposal from Mr. Yes, a journalist, and I wondered what difference being called Yes made to one's life. I started by collecting images of "Yes", from "Yes" to the referendum to "Yes" to the fixed-price chop..... Then, at the sight of an "O" followed by a "UI" in the sky, I made the crazy decision to say "YES" to everything, for a given period known only to myself. But when I calculated that in the month that had just passed, I would have flown seven times, attended five dinners in the same evening, accepted a bad exhibition, had to satisfy the curiosity of six students, been a juror at two festivals at the same time, I preferred to postpone. And, in the meantime, I contented myself with photographing the "YESes" of Dominique and Fabio, for whom I was best man at the wedding.
