Magic Happens… On Camera Or Not!

Due to my extreme exam load last week, I didn’t get to capture magic as much as I would have liked to. Still… Cupcakes are a classic. Handmade bread! Mm… Ah, Sociology! A work of ar...

Magic Happens… Just Because

The key to life is small everyday magic and happiness. Finding it or triggering it. For example, my friend and I bought a persimmon (kaki in french). When we bought it, we had no idea what it was: a ...
