My Camera & I Go to Austin, TX

As you saw earlier this week in the post below, my empty stomach and I went to Austin, but my camera came with too! I haven't posted a lot about it much lately but my true passion and love lies in photography. I've been taking photographs for at least 10 years now, studied it in high school, took classes, and even went to an art school in Manhattan for a year. I really just realized I didn't need to be spending thousands of dollars learning about a craft I already knew so much about but thats a different story.

I post a lot of pictures to my blog but most of them are taken just on my iPhone so they're obviously nothing special. These photographs are taken all with a Canon 7D in RAW format. Each one tells a different story in itself of the city and I find they all really do Texas a good job in justifying its uniqueness.

This is only a small selection of a larger body of images that I took while I was there. I didn't want to inundate this post with too many images. 

I really do enjoy looking at them. 

I hope you all do too! 

Jalouse?

I've been having a serious blogging problem recently with being able to come up with material. I suppose this is my introduction to writer's block & I am at a complete loss at how to effectively treat it. Today is obviously no different. I thought I would just take this day to share some of my favorite photographs from when I travelled to my favorite place in the world, France, a year ago with my mom.

A quick synopsis of the trip: my mother & I traveled to France in July of 2012 to meet up with some family who were spending a few days in Paris after their cruise. The two of us decided to end up staying for about two weeks, traveling from various destinations in & around Paris, & then to the south of France to stay in Cannes. My two favorite aspects of the trip were visiting Monet's gardens in Giverny & in the south, Eze. If you're ever going to be in France, make sure you visit these to places.

Don't worry, this post comes avec beaucoup de jalousie, its normal.

Feeling super French now? 

I made a playlist on 8tracks to make you feel like you're in the middle of a Parisian summer.

Grab a chocolate croissant, espresso, & a cigarette & press play.
