One particularly lazy afternoon on the Seine. Extra lazy since it was Jour de l’Ascension. You may not notice it from the photo but it was very hot the whole day , and this is one of people's favorite spot to cool off.
Fog in the morning
I woke up early intending to jog a little, but what did I see out there in the window? Mist, a forest with its own kind of silk scarf on, like that scene in silent hill. So I went back to sleep.. but not before taking this shot.
The birds outside kept singing though. They seem to talk more than usual in this fog.
Edit: I looked back and realized I wanted a bit more of those fantasy feels that I had so strongly when taking this photo, so I tinkered around and below's the result. I love it infinitely more, but some may prefer it in the bleak original way ^^~
Eiffel Tower
So I went and took a walk to the Eiffel Tower, like everyone ever set foot on Paris must. Probably the first thing that comes to mind when you think of France, to me it's those Victorian style lamp posts lined everywhere in the city, and I love the feel of it. I really do, and my love for Paris'd have been complete were it not for the graffiti and the futuristic, star wars like architecture of the La Défense part of town.
Oh, and I took these photos on valentine day, and they have quite a different feel than my other shots. City of love, what a name! Please enjoy ^^
I really can't decide between this color shot and the sepia one below. I love colors, but...
Miss Printemps Etudiante Vietnamienne - Paris 2009

Misc
Here's a few unedited shots for the Miss Spring 2009 student beauty pageant in Paris that I was asked to shoot for. Since some candidates were my friends I was going to do it anyway. Pretty high profile event for Vietnamese expats here, with pop stars and Miss Vietnam being invited over just for the day.
This cute child was brought on stage for an impromptu performance with the singer but then she started crying all over the place. The MC who just became a mother expressed a particularly motherly gesture here. I really love this shot!
With Mai Phương Thúy, Miss Vietnam 2006, seen here 7cm taller than me without high heels! I'm the guy with the leather jacket btw, not the photographer behind, despite this being my photoblog :D
Untitled
View at dusk from Notre Dame. Under those trees is the Seine, I really should go and take a proper shot of Paris by night soon.

There was no sign of it since winter began, and suddenly it snowed yesterday, from early morning till today. Right on the day I had my first final too, what luck.
Sorry there was no post for so long, I was busy with projects right up Christmas, then finals right after new year. The holidays? I was busy getting drunk. Enjoying my final year in college, I must.
A few of the photos I'd have posted if I could. They all look blue (literally!) and heavy, don't they?
