Back from my winter break

March 11, 2024March 12, 2024 ~ Madison Kennedy

Took an unannounced break !…

Several reasons to that, main one being I’m not doing my best during winter time as I have rheumatoid arthritis, so my joints don’t appreciate the added cold on top of everything else. Since I’m not going out much, I don’t really have any content to share.

I’ve finished sharing with you all my past Greece vacay pictures, so I basically need new travels or hangouts to update The Blog. With spring coming, it definitely will be easier for me to get out and do that !

In the meantime, here’s a short recap of my past few months (mostly January & February) xoxox

Although it could not be more Greek, Crete is really a country within a country, with its own history, folklore, and traditions.

Ah, lovely Heraklion ! We love you so 🤍

It’s the capital of the island, and it’s a must do ! You gotta stay at least a night, because the nightlife is definitely the best here since there’s so much going on with tourism & such. Also, they have the most amazing restaurants… I’d suggest Apiri : take the plate of seafood pasta, trust me. And Peskesi, which are some of my absolute fave places to eat. Don’t go for dinner before 9:30pm or so, people eat late there, it’ll feel empty if you go too early, and who likes an empty restaurant ? Not us !

It’s also the best city for visiting museums, and marvelling at the Cretan architecture. So much archeological sites to see. For hotel, I’d suggest to sleep right in the city center, so you can go by foot everywhere you need. I love the Metropole Urban hotel because it’s close to my favorite eateries, and it’s built on lively square.

Colorful buildings to warm the heart, and sunny days that lasts the year.

Grasse must be one of the prettiest little towns you can find in the South of France !

It is so colorful, with all the old buildings, and there’s perfume everywhere… of course since it’s the city of perfume ! Umbrellas follow wherever you go, cute cafés a daring sun that just won’t quit. Everything that I love. Cote d’Azur is a total dream, you shouldn’t hesitate to spend a few days here ☀️

Let’s take a little tour

Took a short walk in Svilajnac, it’s the city closest to where my grandma lives.

It’s super cute there… they redid the Main Street, added a fountain. This was filmed an early weekday morning, so it was quite empty, just how I like it. Warm, sunny and chill.

Last bits of Spring

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.
