The Photodiarist

Ulyana Sergeenko: Profile

Paris: Palais Garnier

Inspiration: I think she has quite a stunning profile.

Anticipation

Paris: Jardins des Tuileries

Inspiration: If I didn't know better, I would have thought a concert was about to start. No. Just the start of the Elie Saab show.

Natalie Joos

Paris: Palais Garnier

Inspiration: Her blog, Tales of Endearment, is one of my go-to reads.  And I find her colorful and eclectic style to be so very inspiring.  For a color shot of Natalie, check out The Photodiarist in Color.

An Afternoon in Florence, Pt. 2

Florence, Italy

Inspiration: I like the high contrast in this photo. . . and the shadow of the cyclist.

An Afternoon in Florence

Florence: Somewhere . . . I can't quite remember.

Inspiration: I took this, along with many others, using my Iphone while enjoying a quiet Sunday afternoon in Florence engaging in il dolce far niente - the sweetness of doing nothing. Sadly, that sweetness is a memory as I wake up these days, now home in New York, with long lists of things to do already formed in my dreams. 

An Evening in Florence

Florence: Overlooking the Arno

Inspiration: This was taken with my Iphone in the evening, hence the graininess. But I love the circles in the water created by the rowers' oars.

Tu Me Manques

Paris: Eiffel Tower

Inspiration: Paris: I miss you.

Crop Top

Paris: Palais Garnier

Inspiration: I am not a great fan of crop tops . . . unless work by someone (like her) with the abs to pull it off! I also like that the top is otherwise demure, architectural and minimalist.

Bologna: Streetscape

Bologna, Italy

Inspiration: As you can tell, I love photographing these narrow streetscapes!

Giovanna Battaglia

Paris: Jardins des Tuileries

Inspiration: Incomparable Giovanna Battaglia in a beautiful graphic printed cape (much like the coat in the post below, no?)
