Veni, Vidi, Vagari (I came, I saw, I wandered)


It probably doesn't get any more First World than this. The standard of living in this country sounds almost unreal.

Veni, Vidi, Vagari (I came, I saw, I wandered)


Hailed as "one of the most beautiful villages in France" (Les Plus Beaux Villages de France).

Looking around, it's not hard to see why Yvoire was bestowed that honor.

Veni, Vidi, Vagari (I came, I saw, I wandered)


Shot from a moving boat in the River Seine at night in the pouring rain.
In-Seine conditions, yes?

Veni, Vidi, Vagari (I came, I saw, I wandered)


Checking The Latin Dictionary, "veni", "vidi", and "vici" are verbs in the perfect form while "vagari" is in the present infinitive, but I just wanted an alternative to "vici" since "I conquered" would be an exaggeration of what actually happened.

Umi Ryuuzaki (Magic Knight Rayearth)



I missed the first 15 minutes of Inside Out because of this, but it was well worth it. Special thanks to Inah Uriza for the mini-photoshoot session.

I only had a PowerShot S110 compact camera to shoot with, but I think the photos still turned out nicely thanks to the monopod + optically-triggered flash.

The bubbles weren't as effective as I had hoped, but her idea to incorporate the stairs worked ridiculously well with the character's water theme. Note how the reflected LED lights give the impression of waves and ripples.
