This & that Q&A

This & that Q&A

I didn’t edit much new photos lately, so I decided to do a recap through a Q&A !

How has your photography hobby developed ?
Pretty slowly, but nicely ! Because I’m still kind of crippled by my rheumatoid arthritis, (I’ve had a horrible flare-up start two years ago), between the fatigue and the chronic pain it has been really hard to adjust anything in my life. But I’ve tried to focus on photography as much as I could when I was feeling okay, and I put some photos on 500px for sale, and managed to get enough sales to buy a little compact camera soon ! It won’t be a professional one, but I have my eyes on something that will give me the feels I’m looking for in my aesthetic. Also it will be a great change from shooting with an iPhone, so step by step, I’m coming back to more serious “photography” basically 😅.

What have you been doing on your free time ?
Mostly spending time with family really, they have been the best support system. I’m trying to reconnect with as many family members as I can, because we all kinda live different places. But nothing can replace a good time with your dear family, also best friends, so I’m literally striving for it.

Paris during the Olympics, and my broken finger…

Paris during the Olympics, and my broken finger...

But at least it’s on my left hand, and I’m not a leftie ! 😂

Life has been so hectic lately, but we finally have some good weather in Paris : welcome to Summer… we skipped Spring for you, apparently. I’m gonna try my best to tan on my balcony, and keep up with my beautiful plants, while staring into these breathtaking sunsets that we get, drinking from a nice glass of wine;

Speaking of wine, during the hot days I’m very much into having to drink between an iced tea, or latte during the daytime, which I make myself. When comes the evening though I want a good dry white wine, can be sparkling as well. I’m also loving Greek Raki, the Tsikoudia, which is made from grapes, or the Serbian Rakija, my favorite being made from apricots… it’s divine. Or even some Japanese Sake, which I usually prefer drinking warmed up.

But anyway, I’m gonna be spending this month editing lots of pictures for sale purposes : I’m saving up to buy a professional camera, and launch like a mini sustainable thing, so it can be more than just a hobby, G.od’s willing.

Hello ! Took another break 🤪

I was actually seriously sick for basically two months straight, it was insane. My immune system completely gave up on me, and I caught all kinds of silly viruses, and the recovery process was so long… I just couldn’t do much else.

Finally feeling some better, the weather in Paris is so sh*tty though, I’m having a hard time. It’s definitely not helping with my rheumatoid arthritis symptoms… I wish we’d just move to the South of France 🙏 one day maybe !

In the meantime, I was visited by my best friend Barbara, who came all the way from Switzerland 🤗 we had an amazing time together, I miss her so much, always. Long distance relationships are hard, but when it’s true love, it’s lasting no matter what. Although, you do have to nurture it.

“This is my costume. I’m a homicidal maniac. They look just like everyone else.” Wednesday

"This is my costume. I'm a homicidal maniac. They look just like everyone else." Wednesday

Boo !.. a little bit of fun for this Halloween 🎃

I don’t typically dress up, or even put makeup on, but when I saw those filters on my Snapachat, I knew I wanted to try them out. Have some really cool portraits, I kinda look like a bloody anime girl ! I also have some Vampire ones 🩸

My 90’s Yearbook

My 90's Yearbook

I just had to… seems like every year now there’s gonna be some AI portraits trend, and this one is really bomb. I mean, who doesn’t want to feel like they’ve been to an American high school in the 90’s ?

Well I did go to a private American high school, but it was for international students, so that’s not the same… oh well, but I miss those days ! They were so fun. I was like, totally emo geek at the time (and yes that was a thing). I have so many good memories. So this was like a never-experienced nostalgia, but close enough. I’m posting a couple more of those on my personal instagram @bymadisonkennedy
