Last bits of Spring

June 9, 2023June 9, 2023 ~ Madison Kennedy

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.

Spinalonga island

March 15, 2023March 9, 2023 ~ Madison Kennedy

We continue our trip to visit Spinalonga island !

It’s a picturesque spot, the views whether from inside the fortified citadel, or at the ramparts, are quite breathtaking. Fun fact, it is known as the Leper island… people who contracted that disease in Crete, even Greece, would be sent here to live away from the rest of the population. It’s pretty now, even if it’s in ruins, but you can definitely feel some bad, lonely and desperate vibes.

By the way, don’t pay attention to my boyfriend’s outfit (the green shorts… you will get familiar with those in the next posts); he’s the type of guy to pack one or two pants when going on vacay at the beach, because he believes we don’t need clothes for that sort of trip. Whereas I’m over here changing outfits daily 😂

Primaveral… the very beginning of spring

March 6, 2023March 3, 2023 ~ Madison Kennedy

I love this season 🤍

There’s a sensible winter coldness in the air, but you can already see spring making its way, with trees blooming white flowers. My favorite time of the year is almost there (or not, but it’s getting closer). Also I’m slowly but surely getting better, so now I can even go on nice walks in Paris. It’s tiring, but it makes me happy to get out. Next week, I’m gonna start sharing pictures from my vacation to Crete last summer. I’ve edited a bunch, so they’re ready to go 🤗

Switzerland road trip

February 15, 2023February 10, 2023 ~ Madison Kennedy

I’m so glad I had this little vacay time with my bestie ❤️ It was an extended weekend I’ll never forget ! I hope I get to go back this year as well, as this is just memories from last year. Movement has been so hard on me with my autoimmune disease, but I’m a wellness warrior. I love traveling, so I’ll do whatever I need to get back in shape for that 🤗

I’m still listening to the Twilight soundtrack like it was released yesterday

We’re in the city of Chur !

We were so lucky that it was so sunny that day. This little place in the middle of the mountains was cute, filled with medieval buildings, vintage shops and magic spots. We had a great time exploring it.

I just love these road trips with my best friend… I could go anywhere with her ! We’ve actually been planning a big-ass US road trip, I’m not gonna tell you more about it except that I can’t wait until we’ve filled our savings for that travel. It’s gonna be a blast, I just know it. And so it.
