mois de la photo

This week's project was to be inspired by the Photo Exhibits for Paris' Mois de la Photo. My photos are based on works by Michael Kenna and Jan Yoors. Hope you like...

The sunset was spectacular one day, and thankfully, I had my camera to capture its brilliance!

From the top of the Pompidou Centre.



A giant ferris wheel for Saint Nicolas' Day! So excited for the Christmas markets...

The Pantheon: a must-see.




Paris is lovely.

brussels/amsterdam

Just got back from a two day trip to two countries!! Exhausting, but amazing. Here are some pictures.










I completely recommend to everyone to go!! Just don't go into the coffee shops...

decisive moment




The next project dealt with the decisive moment. I could only choose one (the first), but these were a couple of options for me.

more pastries



Instead of having class inside, my professor decided to have one day of class as a picnic. So we bought a variety of breads, cheese, fruits, vegetables, and meats on Rue Cler, and then proceeded to eat a fabulous picnic underneath the Eiffel Tower. These are the pastries from Le Notre... amazing.

You can be jealous. That's ok.

someday


I will have a room in my house with a fabulous orange wall. One thing Paris does well is accent colors (but just to let you know, Paris does almost everything better...). Though neutrals are the staples, patisseries, hotels, even clothing stores have great colors to accentuate the mood. Yes, I'm getting lots of ideas for my future home.

Another photo project here, but here are a couple of pictures.



I wish I knew how to just copy it onto my blog, but I'm playing with the settings for a wider text section. We'll see!!

And sorry for being horrible at updating this blog. I'll try to do better... Emphasis on try! Who has the time anyway.
