Continuing my exploration of the most urbanized areas of Zürich, I came to the Freitag Tower that is in an artistic neighborhood & offers really interesting architecture sights and views on the city.
The last time I went to Zürich to see my best friend, was in September & I had a very specific wish. It was to take pictures of the city in its most urbanized, and also artistic way possible. So, Switzerland is known to be a very green and clean country, very much into nature that’s why I thought this would be an interesting change, and view I could show about this place.
Afternoon by the lake of Constance with my best friend 🙂 I was in Switzerland nearly two months ago (this explains the good weather on the pictures). I had a great couple of days vacationing there, this photoset is long overdue but I’m finally releasing the pictures.
My sorry-ass face when I realized my Leica’s screen was dead…
So, it happened… I got reckless, a short moment of inattention is all it took, and my camera plunged LCD screen first to the ground. I managed to catch it before it exploded entirely, but the screen was gone ! MISERY *crying face emoji*
I took it to the Leica store, and they told me I had to wait two months until I could get it back fixed… 2 FREAKING MONTHS ?! “are you kidding me” I asked there, but that was it. They scrambled urgent on my file in hope that would accelerate the process…
I was feeling so distraught about what they had told me, that it made me realize I couldn’t go through those two months without my main aka only work tool. I have a convention I’m attending this weekend & I’m covering it for Geekland magazine; how am I supposed to shoot portraits of cosplayers without a camera ? Using my iPhone… please. Let’s be real.
I went to a photography store, and spent an hour (at least) looking through their cameras, and trying some, until I decided : let’s get it, my first DSLR. I bought a Nikon D3300, which is an entry-level cam, for beginners, people who know almost nothing about reflex cameras. That means me ! I was told it’s a really good one, easy to use and after reading reviews online, I made up my mind about it.
I encountered many little issues at first, but I figured the camera’s technicalities and now I’m more than happy with my purchase 🙂 I’m gonna need to get a couple more lenses later, so I can shoot portraits & landscapes better, but for now it’s all good.
I love WeHo ! It’s such a nice place to hang out at night, especially at the Whishy a Go Go club. It gives out such a typical Los Angeles feel, that if you’re a tourist visiting the city, I definitively recommend you checking it out 🙂
