salut le monde

So it's been over a month since the last post. As you all know I've been super busy and haven't had the time to keep this updated. I'm happy to inform all of you that I've made it to Paris and have signed the lease to my new apartment.





The flight was pretty awful. We waited on the tarmac for about an hour before takeoff, and then I was stuck with a screaming child two rows ahead. Luckily I had good in ear monitors (fancy term for headphones).

I'll still be super busy for quite some time but I'll do my best to keep this updated with my goings on. Up next I need to get my name on the electricity and gas bills, get a mattress and a fridge.

vélib

These bikes are a part of the Paris "rent-a-bike" scheme (vélib). Unfortunately, they seem to be having a hard time financially and they might have to shut it down. Read about it here.

On a happier note, my appointment to pick up my visa is next Wednesday !

slides

I guess I like these types of slides... Three years went by between these photos. The first was taken in winter 2005, in Inwood, Manhattan, when I just started taking photos. The second is from winter 2008, in Long Island City, Queens.
