Snow everywhere

Snowboarding at Snowboxx

Published by

This past week has been an amazing week. I’ve been doing one of my favourite things everyday, and met with a bunch of great people. This is how it went… Unfortunately, I’m back from my one week holiday to the mountains. There were a lot of ups and downs, but overall it was an awesome week. It feels like ages ago since I headed to the airport with my suitcase, and it feels even longer since I last went to work. I’m not looking forward to it. I’m going to try to remember as much as I can, without boring you with all the details, as we all know nobody wants to hear other people going on and on about their holidays. The only main downside to this trip is that I didn’t take my DSLR, because I don’t trust my snowboarding skills enough to bring it with me on the slopes, which means that all pictures were taken with my phone or similar devices. I did take my GoPro a couple of days, but …

Can I have my own flurry too?

Today was my last day in the office for a week, and I couldn’t wait any longer. My last holidays were over Christmas (so not that long ago), when I was away from the office for about two weeks. I didn’t travel anywhere and most of my time off was spent being lazy. This time around, I’m going to be in and out of the office for almost a month. First, the trip to the snow. After that, I’m back for one day, and then I’ll be away again for doctors’ appointments. I’ll be back again for a couple of days after the Bank Holiday, before flying out again to visit my family in Madrid. So what does this mean for [shutter and ink.]? Well, it means that although I will try to post as regularly as I can, I am likely to miss a post or two. Recently, I’ve been experimenting with different topics and schedules, to see what works best, because I would like to add more photos (of any kind, not just …

Strasbourg – Photography

Published by

I finally got around to work on the photos from my trip to Strasbourg, which now feels like a life away. If you remember, I went there for a reunion. At university, here in the UK, it was always four of us together all the time, The Pack, Judit, Sabine (Aissa), Jean Marie and me. We hadn’t seen each other for a long time (in my case, ten years!) and we decided to meet there, since none of us girls knew Strasbourg and he lives there. Of course, you know I see Aissa pretty much every few months, but that’s not the point. The Pack was back together, for one weekend! I’m not going to go into detail about the trip, I will just say that it was a lot of fun. I was glad to see we hadn’t changed that much, and we could still have a great time together. Strasbourg is amazing. The city has a great history, which makes the architecture strikingly beautiful. During its history, it has passed from German and …

Entering the last stretch!

Tomorrow I’ll be in Strasbourg for a long weekend. I can’t wait. For some reason, it feels weird. I’m travelling from Stansted, and I’m not sure how I’m getting to the airport from the other end of the planet (or so it feels, anyway). I thought I was being clever by booking a flight late afternoon, so I could have the morning to myself and do stuff at home. Oh, how confused I was! Turns out it’s going to take me over 2 hours to get to the airport, and since you have to get there earlier, and I don’t know the route, or the actual place… Ugh. Just ugh. At least, I’m going to catch up with The Pack, the group of friends that were always together at university, here in the UK. I haven’t seen two of them in ages, and the other one, well, I see her pretty much every couple of months (hi Aissa!) It should be a fun weekend. Aissa wants to go running this weekend, and I’m a bit …
