A New Year is born to our self-centred world
Millions more passed before with no celebration
This will not prevent me from extending my best wishes
To you all who take the time to look at my images
And patiently follow my ramblings
In spite of this era of digital revolution
Books remain the ultimate holders of our short history
Our knowledge and individual experiences
And should remain our inspiration for the future
Even if there is no longer any electricity
