I love summer walks 🤗
I’m doing short updates lately, pictures-wise, because I’ve been editing photos from a trip. It’s basically from my archives, and I can’t wait to post them… probably next week ! In the meantime here’s some lovely shots from home, with a gorgeous bouquet my mom gifted me 💞 and the beautiful shaded road next to the river.
I got a couple of really nice bouquets lately ❤️
The first one was gifted from my sister Dakota, who has always impeccable taste in matters of flowers (also any type of interior / exterior design). She handpicks everything she wants in a bouquet to make it extra personal, and it’s always a joy for me to receive flowers from her.
Second one was gifted from my dad, who chose white Casablanca lilies, they smell incredible and are so gorgeous. Additionally in France, lilies are the symbol of royalty. And last bouquet was gifted from my cousin Mila 🤍 sweetheart, who came to Paris for a visit and spent the afternoon at my place, lunching. She chose incredibly beautiful tulips that lasted me a week ! I feel so blessed 🙏
Don’t know if y’all remember, but I re-opened my photo store via 500px recently… here it is !
Because they had changed their payouts rules in favor to the photographer; but they’re so complicated, they barely accept any picture for licensing. It has to be super basic, something they for sure know it would sell, or shot with a real high quality camera. So I’ve been struggling to get myself at over 20… and it’s not even my fave pictures.
That’s just not how I like to shoot, plus I don’t care about the quality so much, I’m more into this film-like aesthetic that I have going on, which fits me perfectly. Besides, I’m a hobbyist photographer, I ain’t gonna drop a large sum of money on a high end camera, when my iPhone already gives me incredible shots.
Anyway. I’m gonna have to move my sales to another platform ! I’m keeping 500px for sure, and I’ll update it as usual, but I need something where I can pick and choose what I want for sale, and have better options for myself. I guess I’m gonna be spending my next few days (and not weeks hopefully) at this research and make. 🧿 We’ll see what I come up with, xoxox.
So I started this creative writing thing with one of my friends, it was his idea, and it’s a great idea to kick off inspiration. Especially because I’m lacking of it at the moment, and I want to finish a book… I’m in a complete utter blank ! I’ll take all the help I can get.
The topic this time was “happiness” and my version of it.
