SO GLAD I DID THIS !
Autoportraiture
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 😛

Closer look at my red lips. I used the MAC Viva Glam Miley Cyrus #2 🙂
I DROPPED MY LEICA !!
This is just terrible guys !
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.

Time for another Q&A
Snapchat 👻 mads.kennedy
What tv show are you binge watching right now ?
I binge watched Stranger Things last Friday night, loved the show 🙂
Who is your favorite YouTuber ?
iJustine because she’s into tech stuff, her cooking videos are hilarious & I like how she edits her vlogs.
What bands are you currently listening to ?
Metronomy, Tame Impala and Chromatics. The Less I Know the Better, Miami Logic and Night Drive on a loop.
How would you describe your personality ?
I’m a little hyperactive maybe, definitively crazy. I like having fun and messing around, joking with people. I’m friendly, but I have a hard time being serious; if you get me there I can discuss of anything because I have a curious mind. I’m also very clumsy, and probably the type of geek cliché you’d see on The Big Bang Theory. When I work I’m focused and bossy.
What words do you say a lot ?
That’s embarrassing to admit 😛 basically, literally, actually, definitively, really… I need help.
What’s your diet ?
I follow the Paleo autoimmune diet because I have an intolerance for gluten and casein. Eating Paleo is adjusted to my needs, health-wise.
What do you like to drink ?
Hot chocolate with soy or coconut milk as a treat, and any green juice containing kale (especially if there’s some ginger in it, it’s so good).
What do you typically have for breakfast ?
Banana & scrambled eggs or cereals or bread with spread and my morning vitamins. Pancakes or french toast on weekends, sometimes pie or a piece of cake.
What brands are your sunglasses ?
My favorite pair of sunnies are from Prada, they’re black oversized labelled “baroque”.
Whats your least favourite word ?
“No.”
