French Journal Day 151 (Travel Diary Day 231)

We have attained, for the first time in 6 months, a sense of normalcy in our lives. From going out shooting the wonderful city of Paris with locals and attending meetups with running clubs, to walking the dog and working during the day, we are almost on the brink of establishing a fairly normal routine.

This will come to an abrupt end in a little over 2 weeks when we leave Paris and begin driving around Europe.

Rachel is beginning to have doubts about the whole idea. She’s worrying about the cost and what benefit, if any, it will have on us in the long term. Although we have continual income from our work on the internet, Europe is an expensive place and I don’t know many people who can happily afford to travel around it continuously for 3 months without it making a serious dent in the bank account.

She wants to do it, of course, it’s just a big step, especially considering we still have the Americas to explore. I wonder sometimes if I’m doing it simply for selfish reasons. Developing an impressive portfolio is a must for any photographer and I’m no different. The idea of seeing and capturing so many amazing shots drives me on.

The truth is, as the months have passed by we have continued to make more and more progress in establishing for ourselves successful Internet careers – Rachel doesn’t want that to stop and neither do I. We won’t be working as much while we’re on the road which may negatively impact us.

But, as we’ve always believed, it’s better to take the risk and have the experience than to wonder what may have been.

Today’s Photo – St. Paul St. Louis church

Yesterday Rachel and I met up with Wendy, an Aussie living over here who helped me organise the Photowalk. She kindly showed us around some parts of central Paris. Later we were joined by Joana and David, who also live in the city.

In the late afternoon we came across this church, St. Paul St. Louis, which was preparing for a special mass to coincide with the resignation of the Pope.

I processed this using the workflow found in my HDR tutorial.
