Mes Priorités

In an effort to practice reading in French this afternoon I delved into the wonderful world of Rousseau online for a bit, and wanted to share his famous opening to Emile with you:

Tout est bien sortant des mains de l'Auteur des choses, tout dégénère entre les mains de l'homme...




In more superficial news, should I splurge on a good ticket to see La Bête tonight? I'm absolutely itching to see it, but I also have a family to visit on the other side of the country, a wish listed trench coat, a pilgrimage to save up for, a residential move to make and a new dwelling to furnish. Decisions, decisions...

About Me

My Photo
I'm an LA transplant now living in Manhattan. I used to take too many camera phone photos despite never having purchased an additional memory card. That was the main form of photo evidence for my "haciendo" and "viendo" until Kristen, an LA based friend I share the having of a knife tattoo behind my ear with, gave me her old Fujifilm camera, which has since DIED. Kristen is now removing her knife tattoo from behind her ear, while mine is still in tact, for better or for worse. The camera died on my first day in Lisbon. The last image it captured was a collection of traditional blue & white ceramic wares displayed in a storefront window. Whatever I was trying to photograph afterwards wasn't worth it. I write and produce film projects, have a dangerous predilection for vintage Robinson Golluber scarves and this blog serves as a window to everything else I do when I'm not satisfying those first two passions. I'm trying to blog more and tweet less @annabelleqv. What about you?
