Crémerie Holy Donut

A sunny spring day. Noon. A car. An ice cream shop. A small town on a lake. A funny name. All you need for a perfect "opening season" picture.

I could have gone with a retro post-processing, but decided to keep the original colours, just warmed up a little. A very cheerful result!

And for the record - Saint-Donat is the name of a saint. But who knows, maybe he liked donuts?

Shameless autopromotion

I'm not really into selfies, but sometimes I get asked for a (good!) photo of myself and you can use pics from 10 years ago only for so long...

These portraits were actually taken by a friend and then post-processed by me. She did a good job - now I have photos to use for the next 10 years or so! :)

The reason I was asked for these: I was interviewed by Elyse Lévesque for her article on digital nomads. As we weren't able to meet, the pictures had to be taken by myself. The bottom one ended in the article. For the full version you need a tablet (iPad or Android) and the LaPresse+ app. You can read the full text (in French) here (warmly recommend, it is very well written), but there is no photo of me there, just my words.

Enjoy your morning coffee

Cute little coffee shop in Luang Prabang. Got there before the famous "Giving Alms" ceremony started, to watch it while enjoying the coffee. Probably the only place in Laos serving Japanese coffee too! And a very nice waiting girl - when I asked to have a croissant, she just jumped onto her bike and after 5 minutes I could enjoy a fresh one from a near bakery.
