It has been very busy... getting to know how things around,
preparing for shootings etc.
Le 104 is a great place, though. I started to know what this place is for, it is for the community, plus the cafe serves wonderful dishes. I visited other resident artist's open studio today and a screening in the evening, which was nice. It is a bit far from the center of the city, but I am happy, gradually meeting Parians.

ps. thank you for interested in helping my project. It will be mostly for volunteer works. hope to see you soon.

-8 degrees in Paris tonight.
I arrived here three days ago. There have been some good
days and bad days in general, but today was a good one,
because I revisited a lady from two years ago and she
remembered me! I finally got some inspiration to move
forward to do the project here. Well, this will be the
most difficult task that I've ever tried in the past. But
I love Paris.

After staying in Riga, I was in NYC for 10 days.
Now, I am back home in Sendai, finally.
It feels like I was away for one year, slowly recovering from this trip.

It has been very cold in Riga, around 5 C also with the random rain.
Tonight, I will have a presentation for the photo school here. Then, I leave to London tomorrow. People whom I met have been mentioning about the economic crisis in Latvija. They are keeping their spirits strong for the longing of recovery, yet the situation seemed terminated for a moment. We all have to think positive and take advantage of the situation, so as I.
