A quiet morning in the sun.

Waking up.

Bored out of my wits.

Eclairs.

Experiment.

More experiments. I tried to play with long exposure shots. And failed...

My sweet grand pa.

Mirror, Mirror.

Cooking and Reading

Since I'm only working 3 days a week, I have all the time I want to cook and read again. I'm starting to feel like myself again. I even started to paint (with acrylic paint) for the first time in my life. 

I do pretty much what I want in my free time and I'm really enjoying it. After being unemployed for 9months, it's good to work again outside the house and get to cherish my free time again.

I used to have all the time in the world, for 9months straight my time was mine and mine only, but it  drove me mad in the end.

Hello Again

It's been a while since my last post. I had 4 rolls waiting for me at the lab and didn't take the time to go get them. I haven't stopped shooting, it just takes ages for me to get the pictures back.

Last time I tried to take self portraits in a mirror, they were all messed up and blurry. It's really harder than it looks.

Life has been kind of weird lately, with what happened here in Paris, the couple of weeks following the events were... well, they were weird. Every body was in shock and gloomy. It's getting better by now.

I somehow feel it made us stronger.

The day after the attack I walked to work, it was a saturday. Usually when I go to work on saturday mornings, Paris is a ghost town. On November 14, people were all over the streets. It was not crowded but there was people on the streets, I really didn't think there would be.

My colleagues were all there as well. We were not in the mood to work but we needed to talk. Management decided to close the store at noon because they figured it was not safe to let us work after what happened. I went home and didn't know what to do with myself, so I took a 2hour nap.

Daily Life

 

Rougets barbet. Red mullets, how I love you!

 

Washing the blood away.

Hug.

 

 

 Hello!

Another Night At Home

 

 Treat! How I enjoy these simple meals and a glass of wine! It's like every night we do this is saturday night.

These are just sausages rolled up in flaky pastry and cut into bite size. So easy and so delicious!

 

Since it's getting cold, this little cashew loves to cuddle. I always have a blanket on my lap and he loves to crawl underneath.

 

Waving.

 

Got you!

 

Cheers! (and new pillow I made, I love the pattern!)

 More of my film pictures here.

A Night By Myself

 

 The other night, Greg went out to meet a friend and I remained home with the place all to myself. I watched TV, drank a little wine and shot a few pictures.

 

My live teddy bear.

 

View through my wine glass.

 

See you later!

 

Chill.

 

I'm the messiest person on the planet.

 

Watching TV.

 

Goofing around.

 

Long exposure. I need to shoot more of those! And experiment.

Tea and Madeleines

 

A quiet night in, eating coconut white chocolate madeleines, homemade, and drinking delicious verbena herbal tea, homegrown.

 

Need a break!

 

My tea collection.

 

Washing the verbena leaves. I grow them on the window sill. I bought one plant an Had to buy a second one because it was so good the first plant was almost leafless after a while.

 

Spilling water everywhere. It's not easy to take a picture and pour water at the same time. :p
