Paris styles and beyond

This past week I spent five days in Paris, France. I’m not sure even where to begin. These photos are just a glimpse of what I saw overseas. The artwork was straight from the history books but as clean and elegant in real life. I basically spent each day walking the entire city. From the very first day I arrived to the last when I departed I never used any public transportation to move about the city. I wanted to discover everything I could about Paris with the little time I had. Paris is not as big as most U.S. cities but it was still worth while. In addition to taking pictures I only allowed myself photography for the first tens minutes at a location, the rest of the time I spent sketching and drawing in my book. I also recorded my thoughts as I walked throughout the city but lost my iphone the night I returned, so all those voice memos are gone. Which sucks because I wanted them to go with the video I shot. Now when I look at the video it doesn’t feel as powerful without the narrations I planned. I may still post the vids but as of now its in limbo. Basically I love Paris. It is a beautiful city with style and culture that I will visit again. However, I stayed at a hostel and that is something I strongly do not recommend. Man I have a few stories but I will save those for another time. Stick to hotels, motels and holiday inns. When I was planning this trip I had to goals in mind, to try absinthe and to purchase a sketchbook. Not just any sketchbook, something that looked fresh out of lord of the rings. A book that Da Vinci would be jealous of. And I did find such a book. The problem now is what to put into it. Enjoy these pics and keep a look out for the next post containing sketches from the trip.
