I'm a photographer that's currently studying studio photography at Speos Paris Institute of Photography in Paris, France.

This is my blog! I will be posting photos I take, links, and other cool things that inspire me throughout my year here in Paris and beyond.

This is a modern interpretation of a portrait that I saw in the Musee du Louvre. It’s a project that we had to do for Studio class.

Quote

Surrounded by these photographs, I could no longer console myself with Rilke’s line: “Sweet as memory, the mimosas steep the bedroom”: the Photograph does not “steep” the bedroom: no order, no music, nothing but the exorbitant thing. The Photograph is violent: not because on each occasion it fills the sight by force, and because in it nothing can be refused or transformed (that we can sometimes call it mild does not contradict its violence: many say that sugar is mild, but to me sugar is violent, and I call it so.)
— Roland Barthes in Camera Lucida, Reflections on Photography

The sky
Is a suspended blue ocean.

The stars are the fish
That swim.

The planets are the white whales
I sometimes hitch a ride on,

And the sun and all light
Have forever fused themselves

Into my heart and upon
My skin.

Hafiz

This is the first part of a poem called “A Suspended Blue Ocean”. I find it extremely inspiring and gives me a few good ideas for a future project!

Photo reblogged from Mary-Kate & Ashley Olsen with 208 notes

So looking at this photograph, I’m realizing how much I look like the Olsen twins. Totally weirding me out.
I’m not necessarily complaining, I think they’re really awesome and have a great sense of style (most of the time.)
