About Me

CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME

eum... thats pretty hard to answer...i guess i'm pretty curious and I'm always willing to try/do new things, i love listening to people's story, i laugh a lot, i can be very calm and introverted, and i can party for 48hrs straight.. i guess i'm a mix of a lot of things, like a bunch of us..anyhow i dont like the idea that i'm defining myself...you'll see who i am soon enough ;)

PHILOSOPHY

"J'ai beaucoup circulé bien que je ne sache voyager. J'aime le faire avec lenteur, ménageant les transitions entre les pays. Une fois arrivé j'ai presque toujours le désir de m'y établir pour mieux encore mener la vie du pays. Je ne saurais être un globe trotteur"-HCB

Henri Cartier Bresson is one of the photographer I admire the most.... in this quote he's saying that even if he moved around a lot, he can't say he's good at travelling. He can only do it slowly, minimising transitions between countries. Once there, he prefers staying for a long period of time to adopt the lifestyle of the country. He couldn't be a globetrotter.
(I hope the translation isn't ruining too much the essence of the quote:S)
