PHOTO: On the street where we lived June 2, 2010

I miss Rue d’Alger and the fact that it’s so conveniently located within walking distance to the Louvre, Musee d’Orsay, Champs Elysee, Place Vendome, Place de la Concorde and the Opera.

I miss Paris. There’s nothing quite like it. Please don’t say you love New York more. I love the Big Apple too but they’re entirely different beasts and cannot be compared. Ever.

I miss walking to wherever my feet will take me. No worries. It’s just not possible to worry so much when there is so much to inspire you wherever you look.

This is a photo of the apartment building we stayed in for 2 weeks.

PHOTO: A bench for romance June 2, 2010

There’s something about shots like this that inspires my imagination. I can totally see a lady sitting on the bench reading a letter and holding a locket that contains the photo of her loved one – a WW2 soldier. She’s all dressed up like they did back then with not a single hair out of place, red lacquer and those classic stockings with stitching at the back. I know, I know, there’s absolutely nothing romantic about war but the love that endured during that period, totally inspiring.

Took this photo at Chateau Amboise in France. It’s got a lot of history and awesome views.
