...of a little city called Strasbourg

I have a love/hate relationship with Strasbourg, depending on my mood swings... I arrived here a bit over two years ago now, in the coldest winter ever (at least it felt that way) for what was supposed to be a three-month internship. I ended up staying quite a bit more, met some incredible people and created unforgettable memories... I know living here has changed many things in me, and I did learn to love this city (it wasn't quite a love-at-first-sight deal at all...)
People say Strasbourg makes you cry twice: first when you arrive and then when you leave...

I'll keep you posted about that second set of tears, when/if I leave..
Here are a few pictures of different seasons in my adoptive city..

Autumn leaves

Love this one because of the sky's color

This was during the filming of Sherlock Holmes II

Everyone was interested to see Guy Ritchie, and all that big Hollywood movement in Stras...even cats.. :)

Kind of a mascot around here..

The best season of all: le PRINTEMPS

Friends <3

...of two beautiful sisters

I got two spend a short afternoon with Diana while she was visiting her sister here in Strasbourg. It is not hard to get pretty pictures when you have such beautiful models :)

...of Domnita & Ion, of a best friend, of a beautiful love story

It is pretty difficult to try to write in just a few words what you feel about someone who has been your friend for more than two decades, someone with whom you share a million memories, good and bad, someone who knows you inside out, someone who was there for you when you needed them to be...
One of these persons in my life is Domnita, whom I met when we were 3 years old. We lived in the same building, went to the same kindergarden then school, and we grew up together, we laughed, cried and discovered life in its early stages together. She recently got married to a wonderful wonderful man, and words cannot express the amount of happiness I wish them...Here are a few pictures I got to take of them.. I luv u Tsitsa!
These first few were taken in Paris, just a day before he proposed :)

 Don't be fooled by the angel face :)

 And here they are on their most special day (so far)

...and I offer my photographic services to you for ..oh I dunno, maternity and baby pics :)

...of Paris

Photographing cities like Paris, New York, or Venice never gets old... Here are a few of my favorite pics from several Paris trips & stays
