CURRENT MISSION

Meet interesting global people

ABOUT ME

I have been living in Paris for three years. I would love to meet other artists and photographers. I'm looking for inspiration, and people who find the small things in life beautiful. I have worked as a professional photographer for many years in Miami and London and Paris. Here is my old photography site http://www.albaoren.com/pages/0019.html I'm now a student once again and am studying at the University of Paris.

Teach, Learn, Share

I would love to meet more photographers, or artists, or other teachers. I'm also interested in learning Chinese.

I'm quite knowledgeable in photography, but there is always more I can learn. I like going to the Jeu de Paume which is a photography museum.
I teach business English, but I'm here to socialize, not to teach. I can speak French and Spanish.
