This is Joachim, my best and longest friend. After almost 40 years of sharing including the oddest experiences, we had a fantastic afternoon in Madrid doing our first joint photo shoot. Of almost 2000 images, this one is most totally him: he's as much at ease in a suit as on a surf board, and when he's not talking tough business he'd just as well hug a few trees. A friend for all situations. Anytime. Priceless.
