French Countryside

I never blogged about my French Countryside experience, so there you go: part I.

Simple outfit because I went for a hike: wearing Massimo Dutti floral pants from Barcelona, Tshirt- Paul & Joe (freebie French Glamour) & the hat is a souvenir from Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer. Not too much editing because the colours were splendid and I didn't edit my curves away because I'm an honest blogger ;). Photos were taken near Apt. I will show more photos soon: not really featuring me because tripod stayed home out of stuffing-too-much-clothes-in-my-bag, but there will be French men featured so keep an eye on this space.

Alyz Photographies

Ma Larmée (my tear)

I don't believe in categorizing a certain type of photography with a certain country, however, I think that Alyz has the type of photography that I can link to the sublime darkness of French photography and philosophy towards life, mixing elements of beauty with the raw experiences of human emotions such as sadness, loneliness, and sometimes the effect of (dis)connection between human beings.

The first photo is excellent in both disrupting AND enhancing the line between the standard roles of femininity/masculinity.

You can find more of Alyz work on her blog.
