Ensuite - Part 2




Cafe Les Deux Margots, where hemmingway and picaso used to hang out.  its the most expensive espresso i've had so far in paris (4.2 euros, expensive is usually 3 euros).



my friend hyunjeong goes to SciencesPo university.



the bastille roundabout


bastille market on a thursday


who buys cow face?


saint felicien, roquefort, and st marcellin from the bastille market.  they are magnificent


what did he just eat.


inaugural game of petanque with my new old petanque set.  we went down the street to bobillot and rue du moulin des pres where there are two courts.  there was dog sh!t in one of them.  Seriously Paris i'm done with your dog sh!t everywhere


Nicolette didn't believe me that i needed to take my camera incase we saw a heart shaped vegetable or something like that in Chinatown.  and little did you know that we did!


rue des artists off of rue Alesia.  I always wanted to photograph this place when i rode by on my bike so this day i did but by the time i got there the sun was gone, which is to be expected in paris.


Looking north on avenue Renée Coty


U-Lock on a wheelchair left outside


Looking north on avenue Renée Coty


up there is rue des artists, down here is avenue Renée Coty


regime change.  looks like its no longer rue denfert-rochereau, now its avenue denfert-rochereau.  don't know what the difference is.


I've been searching for fall leaves for the last few weekends and couldn't find any in the tuilleries and finally found some at jardin du Luxembourg.  Online it says that there aren't really fall leaves here, they just kind of fall off and die without looking colorful.  I have found this to be true.  so if you're looking for leaves like in japan or northeast USA you might have to go elsewhere in france   



Jardin du Luxembourg is a small park but there is actually a lot to do here here.  Hemmingway used to stroll through the park often


many Petanque courts



love how they cut the trees square in paris


this thing is awesome.  you swing along this track like you're donkey kong jr. 




a much bigger fountain than in the tuilleries but the boats don't look at nice.




i was jealous of all these little kids.  I will rent one of these boats some day!

A Bushel of Fall Work



for the radio times.  "Jess lives by the sea with her mother, but when her dedication to getting good grades becomes an overwhelming obsession, Juliet decides her daughter needs more help than she can provide.



spot for the monthly column about golf rules for golf magazine.  this one is about an opponent claiming that its against the rules to hit the ball with the back of the club left handed and that he must use a putter.



full page illo for Investment News about the dos and don'ts of changing firms.  The biggest don't is sneaking out data and info from your old firm cuz they gone get cha.



for Emory Alumni Magazine.  An Alumni's Memories of 911, including a call from his wife telling him that his collegue and friend made it out alive after he and his other colleague searched for him with no sucess on the 87th floor of tower one before it collapsed.  it was kind of sad searching for images and reading about 9-11 while doing this illustration.



Section cover for the Washington Post about the decline of family dinners and how to make them better



Section cover for the Washington Post about the decline of family dinners and how to make them better



Spots for the Washington Post about the decline of family dinners and how to make them better.  this one is about creating a game plan so making dinner runs smoothly.



on the left is making conversations at the table and on the right is about enlisting their help to get them involved and invested in dinner.



on the left is about conquering picky eaters on the right is about leaving all electronics and gadgets off or away from the table.



ful page for Strategic Finance.  It was for a survey of Chinese accountants income.  As everyone knows, China is coming up.  I just spent a month in China so was happy to do this one and include Shanghai and the new Chinese bullet train in this illo.  I used to do the lion dance with my Kung Fu school in new york.  It's nice when living life and exploring cross over into your work.

3x3 Magazine feature



I'm featured in 3x3 Magazine October.  It's published 3 times a year so it will still be on the newstand for another month.  They picked a few pieces that i'm not the biggest fan of but at least someone likes them.

Ensuite - Part 1



Now on to more Paris


area near my house that is triangular that is very photogenic.


near the Pantheon.  You can see the church from Midnight in Paris back there on the right.


and this dude sleeping.  It wouldn't even be picture worthy if he wasn't so large and in charge.


somewhere between the Pantheon and the Louvre



cafe marly in the Louvre


the louvre.  great example of how the sky is always stormy but where you are is sunny or vice versa.


Steve McCurry is one of the reasons i'm into travel photography.  He's probably my favorite travel photographer.  He shoots on film and his colors are amazing.  Its a quality that you just can't capture with a digital camera.  He did the famous Afghan girl cover for National Geographic.  check out his work:  http://stevemccurry.com/ I bought this book at a magazine shop in Pau.  "100 photos de Steve McCurry pour la liberté de la presse"


I went to the Salon du Chocolate in some convention center down by the tram in the 14th i think it was



the sign says don't touch but many people stuck their fingers in there to get a taste.  gross


Marou has beans from vietnam and is good stuff.  they said they would be selling it in Le Bon Marche soon.


awesome hot chocolate that was super thick cuz it was made with cream and like 76% dark chocolate.



spices


they had a "chocolate fashion show".  I thought i was gonna see naked women with selective parts of their bodies dipped in chocolate, instead i got some stoner art student's halloween party.  





have you ever seen a cocoa pod/bean?  inside the white thing are the beans i guess.  so the Salon du Chocolate was not as crazy as i thought it would be.  the fashion show was a huge disappointment.  I guess it was ok for a sunday afternoon out.  it says they have it in New York, Tokyo, Seoul and a few other places too.


Les Cocottes has been recommended by my uncle, friends, and the internets.  It's pretty decent.


I guess they like serving bottles of wine in these plastic bags cuz i've seen this before.


a cocotte is a pot and they serve everything to you in them and its supposed to be more like home cooking.
