Reflection and Self-Portrait

As further proof that I belong behind the camera and not in front of it, I attempted this self-portrait in the mirror today. I can't stand my facial expression, and I have no idea why adjusting my tie sounded like a good idea at the time, but I decided to post it anyway to see what people think.

Reflections: Notre Dame & European Parliament

Notre Dame in Paris through the side mirror of a scooter parked across the street.

The European Parliament building here in Strasbourg. The design of this building is very modern-- a sharp contrast against the well-preserved French-German architecture of the rest of the city. Many of my friends have internships here for the semester, and the sessions of Parliament are open for Strasbourg residents to attend, so I am planning on attending at least one in March.
