sunrise, cap martin

I am editing through all the images of Le Corbusier's Cabanon in Roquebrune sur Mer, France today. When I shot the cabin, it was the height of the August holiday in France. I will admit I was a bit frustrated at the time because everyone was in vacation mode and I was just gearing up to get into full on work mode (this was my first shoot of the trip). The best light at the cabin was in the morning so I woke before sunrise. I am not a super early bird, but sunrise shoots always bestow the gift of seeing the sunrise - a fact I find easy to forget when I am trying to rouse myself out of bed. But that day, I walked to my balcony (I was staying in Cap Martin) and this is what I saw. It was so quiet I could hear the water lapping on the shore. It was the start to one of the most important shoots that I did on my trip. Heavenly...

foundation maeght/josep lluis sert

Heyhey everyone! I am actually in the Swedish countryside at the moment, but I have so much more to share from Foundation Maeght in St-Paul-De-Vence. Today a few of the architecture. It is hard to describe this place so I am just going to let the images do the talking. Plus I have a bit of prep for tomorrows shoot. The buildings are by Josep Lluis Sert. This is a place you have to experience first hand if you can. I arrived late in the afternoon, so the sun was dipping just right as the heat subsided a bit and the cicadas buzzed - very visceral.

I love the way the roofline echoes the top of the bookshelves in this one.

note from cap martin/

A couple images from the beach across the street for me in Cap Martin. I am in the S. of France one more day and then off to Stockholm!
Just shot Le Corbusier's Cabanon. A dream come true...
