Clement Louis

please follow the link to see what i'm talking about

i am not a big fan of black and white photography but i look up to Clement Louis, a 20 year-old student from paris, as the major influence in my world. i noticed his profile on lookbook. his subdued phogrography stood out from other fashionistas, later on i came to discover one finest artist. i found each of them incredibly calm and solemn yet very insolent, despite his minimalist expression. he is in between the joint of fashion photography and portrait art, otherwise he would become bigger in the fashion world but he chose to stay cool the way he is, as an enigma. i assume that's how he draw infactuation. there are so many people out there i adore, most of them are around my age but why we are so different? what does it take to be like them? that's an indeed big question to me.

(pay no attention to my previous entry. i wrote that long ago; it only shows how much the beach and music
together can impact people's mind.)

By The Shore



It almost dark. You are at the beach.
never mind about where you are and why you are here.
you don’t hear anything in your ear except this song…”Feel it all around”…
your toes are on water, your bare feet on wet sandy beach, like a child.

you close your eyes and were completely blew away.
you absurdly lay down onto the salty water and start to get wet.
you don’t care about getting wet. it’s one of the thing you wish to happen.
your shirt got soak as the water leak inside your shirt and you feel it with your bare back.
the tiny waves continue to crush on you.
your two arms are flowing by the control of the wave,looking as if you are flapping your wings and fly.
you don’t see anything because your eyesight go straight up to the sky, the purple dreamy sky.
you can see both the sun and the moon.
the sun is about to set and the moon is rising.
you can tell by the brightness of the dark.
you don’t think, actually you think an unexplainable feeling,the feeling that you wish to keep it forever.
now close your eyes, hear the rest of the song.

Feel It All Around - Washed out

Mysterious Bookstore

this has been such a long overdue. some week ago i watch "Before Sunset" and realized that this wasn't the first time i saw this bookstore. before i knew i was mezmerized by it, i had gathered information from all over the place and decide to write about the charming "Shakespeare and Company"

Shakespeare and Company, despite the post title, is not quite as enigma as its look. it was located right across Notre Dame at 37 Rue de la Bucherie, Paris since 1951. probably the most famous bookstore in Paris as it hold the literary festival every year. The founder was not Shakespeare and his friends (lol) but an American named George Whiteman whose now in his nineties and living just above the building.

okay, before i sound anymore like a tour guide, the cool thing i found out about; this place has been offering beds for those ambitious writers since post world war II period. these writer in this case called "tumbleweed" included Ernest Hemingway, has to work for the bookstore in exchange of a place to rest their heads and some powerful novelist vistas. what a place! i think most of people are not only there to buy some english books but also to see the real eminent slumbers.

Lord Knows We Are Miserable!

i am a total noob in here, don't even know what people usually say in the first entry. but well, i should be thankful i can get this far. what you can expect from this blog? well, i basically keep this blog to keep myself inspired(and to be proud of), so you are promised to see a big bunch of obsession in aesthetics, music videos, fashion photography and such. maybe enthuse about new movie trailer and some aftertaste reviews.

I managed to leave things the way it is and fix it along the way so excuse me for the mess. 
(and oh please enjoy my non-native english)

Echoplex - Miami Horror
third single from Illuminations, Miami Horror, my long-awaited album to come out since "Sometimes" came to tease us in late 2009. this is one of many songs with nu-disco beat that bring you to life anytime.
