Long ago I'd been in communication with Marc of infrared.fr over the style of his site which bore a striking resemblance to sleepycity. Heated words were exchanged but many months later all was forgiven and we finally met in a scottish pub near Chatelet. As usual drinks gave way to more exciting pursuits so Marc, Olivier, Cat, Dopefish, his gf and I headed southwards to a little something they'd been keeping under their hat. Something a bit concretey, 7 meters in diameter and entirely stormdrainy. If you've seen Drainor #2 you know Paris has no shortage of storm and sewers but this, this is special.

Imitation is the most sincere form of flattery. In art its called 'inspiration'. Im glad yall worked it out and yes looks very much like your site. But you were the first and everyone knows it. I have been planning some night raids myself. In fact if your a photog and in South Texas email me. Jstonefotog@yahoo.co m
