Street style

I attended a 2-hour workshop last Sunday as part of the Vienna Fashion Observatory exhibition. Aim of the Workshop was to get a bit of a sense of what’s required for Street Fashion Photography – we were given the basic tips to approach people on the street and do portrait photos of them with no …

Imperfections

Skin is the biggest organ we have. If it were to be stretched, it would measure up to 2m². Its size is immense and yet, in our daily routine we forget how important it is to us. In history, skin also has played an important cultural role: it was a canvas for scarification and tattoos, …

Good music & (not-so) Indian Food

I got a lot of vegetables two days ago hoping I could have at least one meal at home this weekend, but didn’t get around to do any cooking nor baking since friday. To make up for it, I went crazy tonight. Couscous and Gâteau au Yaourt with blueberries is what’s on the menu : …

Yesterday I took a walk around my neighbourhood. I found a building that had been completely destroyed from the inside and is being turned into a hotel (I think). I only had my pocket-digicam with me, and besides there were workers staring at me so I promised myself to come back with my analog+digital Canons; …
