I am overdue for a post.
The last few days have been a whirl wind. I’ll start with today since it is most fresh on my mind.
I woke up late. Finally a solid 8 hours of sleep. I clambered out of bed and threw my clothes on and ran out the door to meet my new photog friend Jerroid at the Pompiduo to see a photo exposition they were having. So amazing. I saw original pieces by Henri Cartier Bresson, Man Ray, just to name a few. I am always blown away at the quality of their imagery.. for being in the forefront of the photography world in the 30’s.
We grabbed lunch and then I met up with my new friend Annie (the aupeir) for a bikram session. If you never done bikram, you are in for a treat. especially if the whole class is in french. haha.hahah…..
I love the late night culture here. Most places stay open until 2-3 in the morning. I met up with more friends at 11pm and we ordered three bottles of wine and a fromage and charcuterie platter. After the 3rd bottle is when all sorts of interesting topics of conversation start to come up. I think I agreed to have my ass cast on Friday. haha.. nothing like preserving your best assets.
I have shoot tomorrow. My roomies need headshots for the business. Should be a fun challenge seeing as I brought no gear with me.
Yesterday I did an engagement session through the city with en engaged American couple I met over the weekend. The whole time I was cursing my 50mm and myself for thinking that would be sufficient for this trip. It was a great way to experience the city walking and shooting. I am starting to get my barings and now know the different neighborhoods and main streets.
I have eaten soooo much food and drank so much wine while I’ve been here. It will be amazing if I dont gain any weight. I ordered tea last night instead of wine and I felt like a party pooper. Geez!
