Rain and/or Shine

The Eiffel Tower and Versailles (Versailles was the only place we could use the self-timer). 2 of maybe 5 photos of us together on our honeymoon. The scenery was more interesting anyway.

Backlogged from our honeymoon: Couple inside Notre Dame; A very well-dressed toddler playing on a very dirty sidewalk; Children's cooking class on same sidewalk; Violinist at Sacre Coeur.

Timeless

"Wool plain weave and silk velvet with silk and metallic-thread embroidery, glass beads, and ostrich-feather trim"

I would kill for a jacket like this. From the Fashioning Fashion exhibit at LACMA, circa 1891.

Inspiration

It seems like everyone is traveling to Europe right now. True, it's summer, the season of travel. But I feel like every blog I browse or facebook page I come across (forgive me for citing a social networking site as source) is scrapbooked with European getaway pictures. It pushed me to look at pictures from my trip to Paris in early 2009. Looking back, that is when I caught camera fever and couldn't resist clicking at every building or monument I passed. I think Paris, in all it's photogenic glory, is responsible for inspiring my interest in photography. Here are my favorite photos from the trip:

The Hall of Mirrors at beautiful Versailles

Underneath the Eiffel Tower (obviously)

The Louvre

This is before I bought my DSLR. My little Nikon delivered pretty well on this trip (one of the few times).

Paris, je t'aime
