Il aurait été impossible à quiconque de mieux présenter MArseille que je en connais malheureusement pas ... Mais au travers de ta galerie, MArseille est tellemetn invitante, humaine et envoûtante, que personne n'aurait pu lui donner vie de si belle façon .... Un talent fou émane de tes images Marisa ... un talent fou !
