Jay arrives tomorrow!

Morning at photo class. I read over the midterm and chomp
on a cookie while Philippe uses my camera to explain something.

Looking exhausted as Philippe explains depth of field.

I had my last class before the break today and it went really well. Floriane helped me edit my Salon du chocolat photos and I was so impressed with how delicious I could make everything look with just a few tricks. I also got to edit the portrait I took of Chai and begin edits on other photos. During our break, Floriane showed us some of her photography and my jaw hit the floor -- she's really an artist. I hope that some of her talent rubs off on me!

Philippe took photos of me at the Hotel Sully in the Marais.
Notice my giant fuzzy "statement scarf."

Anyway, my project for the break is an autoportrait, and I haven't figured out what to do yet. All I know is that I really love this class.

I'm getting so excited for Jay's visit -- he arrives tomorrow and I can't wait to do all the fun parisian things I've come to love with my very own love. Paris is such a romanic city -- couples even make the metro look like the bridal suite at a hotel. It's impossible not to miss your special someone when you're in this city alone, and I'm so happy he'll be here soon to share it with me. After two days of settling in and stuffing ourselves full of those last few baguettes, we'll be headed off to the 2nd most romantic city I can think of: Venice! I'm SO excited!

On a budget note, I've realized that my last grocery run was probably unnecessary (or at least too close to my departure for Venice) because I have so much left to eat! I'm going to get on this right away and chow down on some chili and potatoes with crème fresh -- my new favorite automne dish.
