Why did you move to Paris? - I studied a Licence in Marketing in Mexico City, and even since before beginning it, I decided I wanted to do a speciality in fashion in Paris. At the same time, 2 years ago I fell in love with a french man… which sped up the process {instead of moving to Paris 1 year after finishing the Licence, I moved right away} For more, read my about me & post why this blog?
Do you live with your boyfriend fiancé? - I do :)
Would you tell us a bit more about him? - His name is Florian, he’s 24 French. He studies and works in informatics.
How did you two meet? - For a brief recount read here.
What do you do in Paris? - I’m currently studying french, and I’m applying to some schools to hopefully enter to do fashion management either on autumn 2011 or spring 2012.
Do you speak french fluently? - I don’t, I’m currently studying it… and making some progress… hopefully I will be {fluent} by the end of this year {fingers crossed}
Do you take the pictures in your blog? - Most of them I do (Around 90%). The ones that I don’t, are either reblogged or have a linked source. And most of the photos in which I appear are taken by my boyfriend {who’s just recently starting to feel passionate about photography too (yay!)} If you wanna see some of my “work” go to my flickr.
Where did you learn to take pictures? Nowhere. I’m a 100% self-taught {I don’t know if I can say I actually KNOW photography, but what I do is pretty much the result of experimentation}… and well I do feel like I take some good photographs from time to time but I still have a long way to go… and I’m definitely not a professional {just yet}.
What camera do you use to take your pictures? - Most of my pictures are taken with a beaten-up Nikon D50 with which I commonly use a Tamron AF 18-200mm 1:3.5-6.3 lense, and more recently a vintage {from the 70’s} AF Nikkor 70-210mm 1:4 The rest are with a point and shoot Sony Cyber-shot DSC-TX5.
I see you’ve reblogged some of my posts, but why don’t you follow me? - This is a tumblelog derived from my first {impersonal} one pinknailsinparis. Because of that I can’t follow with this blog {ambitieuse} just with the first one… so I’m prob following you through it. = I also can’t make asks with this one, so sometimes you’ll receive the answer to your questions through an ask by pinknailsinparis {I’ll try to not forget to mention it’s me}
