This is what you shall do; Love the earth and sun and the animals, despise riches, give alms to every one that asks, stand up for the stupid and crazy, devote your income and labor to others, argue not concerning God, have patience and indulgence toward the people, take off your hat to nothing known or unknown or to any man or number of men, go freely with powerful uneducated persons and with the young and with the mothers of families, read these leaves in the open air every season of every year of your life, re-examine all you have been told at school or church or in any book, dismiss whatever insults your own soul, and your very flesh shall be a great poem and have the richest fluency not only in its words but in the silent lines of its lips and face and between the lashes of your eyes and in every motion and joint of your body.

Not I, nor anyone else can travel that road for you.
You must travel it by yourself.
It is not far. It is within reach.
Perhaps you have been on it since you were born, and did not know.
Perhaps it is everywhere—on water and land.

Do I contradict myself? Very well, then, I contradict myself; I am large—I contain multitudes.

Love her, but leave her wild

Quai Branly museumLove her, but leave her wild

I went to the Quai Branly museum with my best friend 🙂 She came from Switzerland, and we hung out for an afternoon in my hometown… which is Paris. Unfortunately, her trip was short so we couldn’t see each other for more than that, but it was fun anyway and highly enjoyable. We were lucky to get one of those rare sunny days in the midst of fall, the city was beautiful !

EPIC VLOG FAIL

I tried…

I was so motivated at start, there was even good weather conditions; a bright and sunny day in Paris is unusual at this time of the year. On this Halloween, I kept failing but I brought you something anyway, check it out, you’ve been warned.

Wanderlust in Paris

Can I get a hell yeah ?!

Wanderlust in Paris It’s been a while guys… I’ve just been living my life out here ! I wasn’t stressing about blogging because it’s a hobby, and I do always update when I can, but hopefully none of you is mad at me for that. I’m still pretty active on other social media platforms, such as my : Twitter, Snapchat & Instagram.

Anyway, I got some good news about my Leica camera (if you’ve been following my adventures since this post, then you know what I’m talking about). They got it last week I guess… don’t really remember the details, all I care for is that I’m gonna get it back sooner than expected ! So pumped, can’t wait for my baby.

SO GLAD I DID THIS !

AutoportraitureSO GLAD I DID THIS !

Buying the Nikon D3300 was the best decision I recently made, I am so happy with this camera ! I’m excited to go outside and test it out, but so far no such luck… it has been pouring rain in Paris, not the ideal weather for photography. Soon though ! It’s like we say in french “après la pluie, le beau temps” because after rain, is expected good weather.

The minor issues I encountered in the beginning were no big deal really, it’s just that I didn’t know how to attach the universal adapter to the battery charger, then the charger’s light was blinking which I thought was maybe a problem, but actually wasn’t. Lastly, I had no idea how to mount a lens… I know how it sounds, but I’ve worked with a Bridge so far, I didn’t have to care about lenses.

This camera is so easy to use though, that even if I can’t go outside take any pictures yet, I am already shooting self-portraits. I’m really enjoying this DSLR, it’s such a good tool 😀 ps. my hair is almost always messy because I don’t brush it, sorry about that 😛
