I was in international press Nirvana, also known as the Relay H shop of the Avignon TGV train station. Carefully, I approached the January edition of Architectural Digest and began to gingerly flip, flip, flip. “What if she had decided to go ahead with it and just had forgotten to tell me?” I barely let myself wonder, breath baited, scanning quickly, disappointment looming large…no. It was true…close… but no cigar!
What on earth am I talking about? Well, a few months back I received an email from Betsy Horan, the Photo Director of AD. She had interest in some of my photos of L’Isle sur la Sorgue that might be of use for her January issue. Wait, my photos? We are used to dealing with photo requests around here…but for Remi (and as there has been some confusion as of late, let me clarify that the photos on this blog are indeed taken by me, what he does is a whole other level of kitty and kaboodle altogether). How I had blinked in surprise at her email for several seconds in surprise and then split out into the biggest smile. Remi was so proud. And it is worth mentioning that in our small exchange, Ms. Horan could not have been nicer. Further proof as if we needed any that quality rises.
So today’s little Hide and Go Seek was the final confirmation of what I already knew, that the photos were a no go…this time! But how incredibly excited I was to have been contacted. Really and truly.
Well, I will keep moving forward in the right direction…
…but bundled up (our sweet visitor from Australia has been swathed in a puffer) because despite appearances this ain’t L.A. and Baby, it’s cold outside!
Have a great Weekend everyone!
Ooh! ps. I am experimenting a bit with putting comment approval and word verification back on as the spam is getting out of control. Hating it? Don’t mind at all? Any thoughts are welcome…
Hey! Do you use Twitter? I'd like to follow you if that would be ok.
I'm definitely enjoying your blog and look forward to new updates.
Hey! I just wanted to ask if you ever have any issues with hackers?
My last blog (wordpress) was hacked and I ended up losing several
weeks of hard work due to no data backup. Do you have any methods to protect
against hackers?
My partner and I stumbled over here by a different web
page and thought I should check things out. I like what I see so i
am just following you. Look forward to looking at your web
page for a second time.
Keep this going please, great job!
This information is priceless. How can I find out more?
For most recent information you have to visit world-wide-web and on internet I
found this web site as a best site for latest updates.
I agree with La Contessa. Your photographs would be a breath of very-welcome fresh air in AD. And a column by you to go with those photographs…well, we readers of "Lost in Arles" know just how fortunate AD would be! Your ever-discerning reader, Leslie
Oh I find things like that so deflating, you handled it better than I would!
Most of my spam gets trapped so I don't use word verification, I can't bear it but then I have a bit of a problem with letters/spelling, after three attempts I usually give up.
Well, I think your photos are sublime and I love the way you marry them in a dreamy way with your text. Forget the "AD." I for one would be honoured to have your photos published on the "AT."
