  1. Hi Ella...I'm a friend of your mom's across the seas in Illinois amongst the prairie lands...and I'm a really big fan of b/w photography...and I like your people shots a lot....they are the hardest to get right in b/w - people
    looks like you have some great settings on your camera - I recommend you reading dustylu.blogspot.com/ she is a good friend of mine, and a photographer of Rachel Ashwell's...she has great tips on there about photography on some of her posts (she takes many classes in photgraphy)...

    p.s. your mom is so super sweet...and i so wish to sit on her veranda someday and sip cafe with her...it's on my 'to do' list

    happy new year and blessings from the farm!

  4. Hi Ella,
    Welcome to the land of blog where anything is possible. I love your photos and thank you for setting up a blog for us to see your work. I look forward to seeing what you have captured with the lense in future posts.
    My hubbie loves black and white photography and chooses to use the old style cameras (non digital) and develops his photos in a purpose built darkroom under our house.
    Have a wonderful gap year, how exciting. Looking forward to your next post.

  5. Hi Ella...I follow your mother's blog and just popped over to view the photos. Remarkable!! They are the pictures I have wanted to get for the last 30 years!!! Of course you live in a beautiful part of the world (I'm from Ohio) that has much charm but it takes an artist to see it as you do. Keep up the good work!!

  6. Hi Ella, Like the others I follow your mother's blog and came to look at your photos. I've been to Nice and I think you've capture it nicely. The old town is a photographer's dream, new things to see around every corner.
    Please keep in mind that these are your wonder years. In the next few years you will change, be able to explore the world through new eyes and grow. Such a great age. Enjoy.

  10. I came over from your mother's blog, Ella. What delightful photos you have taken. The one with the fallen bicycle at the bottom of the stairs had me envisioning a child running up to be consoled by his mother. It tells a story.

  11. Hey,
    I like your photos a lot. Actually I have a "thing" for rooftops, buildings, city scenes photos, so you may imagine how delightful I was watching your photos. Keep catching the world with your camera!
    Have a wonderful gap year!

    I think you are off to a wonderful start in this land of blog and in your photography, and how wonderful you have an entire year off to enjoy and explore. Kids here go straight to college after high school, my own daughter is a sophomore in Tisch school of art at NYU in New York City and loving it.

    Good luck to you- I'll be looking forward to hearing about your adventures.

  20. Dear Ella . . .I was reading your mom's post today, and she mentioned your new blog . . .IT'S GREAT (love the header) and since I LOVE photography, I was excited to check it out. Before having kids,I was an art teacher here in the DC area, and I think your photos are very good, can't wait to see more! I am hoping to come visit France, take many photos,and, maybe . . .rent the cottage one day (oh, brocanting with your mom - now that's a dream); if you ever want to come shoot DC, let us know. My daughter is a junior in high school, an AP photography student, and is studying French . . .I know she'd love it. All my best.
