Food shots with the macro lens, and a photo of my new favorite dessert: strawberry tiramisu (so simple to make).

Boohoo

You would think I have been through enough to put things into perspective and I would not be so annoyed by a material hitch.
Well, you would be wrong... When I realized yesterday that my 50mm/1.4 lens could not focus anymore, I was crushed. I have been crying like a little girl who just broke her favorite toy.
They are probably going to be able to fix it, but they will keep it during at least 3 weeks: boohoo...
It was really too much for me to cope with, I needed immediate comfort...
So, I bought a new lens. It was probably the childiest thing to do (though I don't think a child could afford it), but it really made me feel better.

So now I have a CANON 60mm/2.8 macro lens!!!
Yay!!!! Here are the first shots: our lunch with Juliette!
I still need a lot of practice, but I have the feeling that, me and my macro lens, we will have a lot of fun together!







Wishing you a happy, sunny weekend!
Music!

July 26

A bit uninspired and tired these days...
But still some real good food around: summer fruits, Japanese delights from and at my favorite place and a new addiction: strawberry tiramisu, I made one this weekend (sorry no photos).
I have to find shortly black truffles to try this Luxirare recipe.

Sara Lazarus and Bireli Lagrene: pure virtuosité dans la joie!

PS: I leave my shoes everywhere in the house...

Juliette

Sweet, sweet night with wonderful friend: amazing, unique, faithful, crazy, free, creative Juliette!

I love this Bonnie 'Prince' Billy song and video.

Inspiration

Parce que je suis rien qu'une copieuse, et que bon... Marion a toujours de supers trouvailles. Et ben voilà: moi aussi j'ai mon Pinboard: mur d'inspiration et de coups de cœur!

Inspired by Sparkling Princess Marion, I created my own pinboard!

Me, Myself and I- Part II

I was actually one week early for Jane's last corner view before summer. The first one is here. But because I love self portraits: here is a second one!



Thank you so much for your support.
The Nina Ricci PR agency emailed me to publish a second photo: Yay!!!

I really have to work on that book. And when it's done, it will be my first giveaway.

This blog turned 2 years old in June. It was created because my friend Marie thought that I should share my images.
I just can't believe how many windows this space has opened...

Music!

Instants

Qui mieux qu'Ane Brun accompagne les vagues?

Nina

I completely forgot to tell you that the PR agency that is working on "Nina, le parfum" facebook page contacted me to publish one of my photo... It was a huge and very nice surprise as I have never tried to use or sell my photos.
I cannot seem to find a direct link to the page since the publication is almost 3 weeks old. I you go there and click on the right column on "l'instantané". Mine is #11.

I started to think about doing something with my images. The sweet Janis convinced me to work on a little photo book. I am still trying to figure out some kind of unity among all my shots.

Wishing you a sweet Sunday!

Here is what i am listening to.
