My 5 favorite travel destinations

There is nothing more thrilling for my restless soul than to discover a new place as often as life will allow it. There were years where I traveled to several new cities each month; admittedly, it's way easier to have that kind of travel rhythm when you live in Europe. There were other years where my scientific schedule allowed me to fly overseas three or four times in a given year. Although I was not escaping my daily life by any means, I became addicted to the feeling of collecting places in my passport, my photos and my life story. 

Wanderlust is at once insatiable as it is exhausting. It's also deeply ingrained and quite possibly genetic, or at the very least highly contagious. I have welcomed "quieter years" with open arms, and I have learned to explore my own daily surroundings with the same sense of discovery and joy without the limited wardrobe, Ziploc bags, foreign currency and nauseating waves of jet-lag. But even during quieter times, I try to see at least ONE new place a year. If a conference or friendly visit is on the agenda, I try to combine it with someplace I have not yet been. 

In choosing a travel destination, there are 5 types of places I am intrinsically lured to. 
Picture
1. Port cities
Aside from the fact that Montreal itself is a port city, one of the earliest experiences that shaped my love for port towns was my time in Ancona on Italy's Adriatic coast. I love the raw, rough, busy feel of port cities - that characteristic curve of harbourfront roads, colorful cranes and containers stacked high against the backdrop of water, and the way a port looks from above, with the sea spilling into the urban space and large ships making smaller boats and buildings look tiny in comparison. Aside from Ancona and Venice which have their own special status with me, port cities that hold a key place in my heart are Bari, Barcelona, Lisboa, Corfu, Amsterdam and Copenhagen.

2. Rustic old towns
I love old towns. I love their façades -- with beautiful textures, colors and architectural details - their narrow lanes, their broken steps and missing cobblestones, their churchbells, their market days, the sounds of someone sweeping their doorstep or opening their rustic shutters, the sounds of cutlery clinking at dusk. I love the way that residents' voices echo between balconies or rise up from the street to the windows - that same way that tourists' suitcase-wheels disrupt the gentle morning silence. The smaller the town, the more I get turned around, but I have learned to love that too.

3. Riverfront meets urban
Water is my element. If I can't have the sea or the ocean, at the very least I need a river. I remember how down I used to feel when returning home to Florence after a weekend in Liguria - the Arno would definitely not lift my spirits or make me feel any less landlocked. Canals will also do, but only if there are several of them (the 3 canals in my beloved Milan barely get a 'pass'). I especially love it when a river cuts through a city with a strong urban feel, like Chicago, Berlin or London, and the way the architecture and city culture have a dialogue with the water. Rome and Paris have their own unique feel, and I adore both in a way that can't be summarized in these few lines. I also have wonderful memories of Prague, Dresden, Zurich, Verona and Budapest. Cities with a river coursing through also make very nice maps.

4. Fishing villages and coastal towns
I am drawn to coastal towns and tiny fishing villages to such an extent that it is exceedingly difficult to choose which towns to stop in along a coast - if it were up to me, I would spend time in every single one (and never make it back home). Coastal towns are magical - the way they are built in relation to the sea is a wonderful sight. Some towns are a jumble of pastel-colored houses, stacked one atop the other with no visible spaces between them, on a precarious cliff overlooking the vast sea. Others are sprawled flat and low, as though to keep the sea close and allow everyone the same spectacular view. Fishing villages are among my favorite places to stop for lunch, always eager to spend some time among colorful boats, kind locals and the generous offerings of the sea.

5. East meets West
I have a fascination for cities that mark a junction - either historically or geographically - between East and West. I once went on a mission to analyze the eastern influences on the urban fabric of Venice and its architecture. Istanbul is also still at the top of my dream travel destinations, as is Morocco.

8 things I love to photograph

28/1/2017

2 Comments

 
Over the years, looking through a lens has taught my eye to see things differently, until that way of perceiving beauty became second nature to me.
​
I have noticed how there are certain things that I am just drawn to photographing – certain subjects that recur in my photographs again and again, whether I travel far or take my camera for a stroll down the block.
Picture
1. Reflections
​What I love most about reflections is that sometimes they are obvious and right in my path, while other times I have to actively search for them – consciously changing my angle or height and hoping for a little bit of luck. Yes, I am that person who circles around a puddle (at least) twice, staring deeply into it like she has lost an earring (or her mind). I am incidentally also that person who looks like she’s spying on people through a window, or that she’s about to fall over into a canal…It’s almost always worth it, though. Reflections are little treasures that bring me a lot of joy.

2. Boats
​If you know a little bit about me by now, you know that I feel deeply connected to the sea. Port towns, fishing villages, colorful boats, anchors and nautical rope are among my favorite elements to photograph, quite simply because they are among my favorite things in life.

3. Decay
​My time with Venice has made me appreciate the raw beauty of decay and disrepair. There is something rather poetic about a place standing the test of time – faded, weather-beaten witnesses of a long string of days and all the wisdom that age brings.

4. Daily details
​One of the most important gifts my camera has ever given me is the ability to document even my most ordinary days and, through that act, to realize that simplicity is the purest kind of beauty. When I discovered my growing interest in photography, I made it a point to practice every day by committing to a 365 project – a photo a day. What we don’t realize between glorious snapshots are that some days – perhaps even most days – are utterly ordinary and uneventful. On those days, my photo subjects were random things like fresh laundry, folded sweaters, frost on a windowpane or pillows on my couch.

​I enjoyed the exercise so much that it became a habit, even on eventful days or incredible travels. I consider it a kind of mindfulness exercise, to notice and celebrate simplicity.

​The glorification of the mundane is a running theme in many of my photographs and in the writing that fills many of my journals; everyday beauty and daily details, in travels and in my own life, are often the snapshots that I appreciate the most when I look back on the year.

5. Textures and patterns
​Looking through the lens really trained my eye to pick up on lines, patterns and textures, and to experiment with compositions that showcased them. I felt my tastes change over time; I became more interested in an urban, industrial feel, and played a lot more with lighting and with black and white to bring out the mood in those scenes.

​I love geometricity, hard patterns and soft patterns, perfect lines and imperfect lines. I love asymmetry as much as symmetry. What I love most is to be surprised when patterns and textures manage to make a statement in a photograph – sometimes even more than in the real-time moment itself.

6. Shutters and balconies
​My fascination with shutters started early on, in Italy. Windows and shutters are portholes into a different view, the threshold between inside and outside, private and public. Balconies are often glimpses into the architecture of a city and the life of its residents. Best of all, my love for window shutters and balconies makes me lift my eyes up and around, in search of color, perspective and inspiring urban oases.

7. Food
Food photography is my guilty pleasure – my secret dream, the skill I would leap into perfecting if I had the luxury of dropping everything else for a while. I can’t tell you how many times a month I am tempted to procure antique silverware, paint different kinds of wood slabs as tabletops and allow myself to lose track of time cooking, staging and photographing dishes in the natural light pouring in from the guest bedroom window.

Fun fact: Often one of my new year’s resolutions involves dabbling in new cooking and food photography projects. One year was the year of “Twenty soups”. Another year, I promised to make 12 kinds of risotto in the autumn and winter months (“Risautumn”).

My love for cooking began when I moved to Europe and lived on my own for the first time. My love for food photography was sparked by the magical cookbooks written by Tessa Kiros, photographed by Manos Chatzikonstantis and styled by Michail Touros.

8. Sunsets
​Sunsets used to plunge me into melancholy; I would watch quietly as the sun dropped to the horizon, feeling a very mild twinge of angst that the passing of time could be so blatantly visible to the eye. I have grown more accustomed to sunsets and to celebrating their beauty, even though I am still not fully comfortable with the series of milliseconds leading up to point where the sun suddenly gets pulled beneath the horizon. I childishly hate the idea that I can’t see something that was just right there. I enjoy photographing that series of milliseconds, as if to try and cheat time and freeze it, so the sun won’t actually dip out of our eyes’ reach.

5 great ways to display art in your home: From gallery walls to shelfies

25/1/2017

Are you searching for new, creative and space-efficient ways of displaying your wall art and travel mementos?
​
Here are 5 simple ideas to display artwork at home.
Picture
1. Art among your daily objects
​This is one of my favorite ways of displaying art prints or photographs – in the path of your daily gaze and daily activities. Your hands might be busy stirring a sauce or foaming milk for your morning cappuccino, while your eyes take a micro-moment to flit over a piece you’ve collected for your haven.
 
Here are some pins I love.

2. Leaning and layered
​Not a fan of hammering nails into wall or fussing with a planned-out gallery wall? A creative solution that is always appealing to the eye is to display your art on wall shelves, bookshelves or furniture. To achieve an interesting visual effect (while also saving space), you can layer the art such that they partially overlap. There is no right or wrong way to do this – how you mix and match sizes, in what configuration you group the art and how closely you pack the space is up to your personal style. This is a great strategy for non-committal folks, as you can easily change things up with the seasons. If you run out of space on shelves or furniture, the floor is also an option.

3. Classic gallery wall 
A traditional gallery wall in a room, hallway or staircase in your home is sure to dress up any space and to give your eyes lots to look at on a daily basis. You can go with a classic look – a symmetrical grid with uniform frames and sizes, or you can mix up the frame sizes, thickness, colors and matting, while still focusing on maintaining an airy, harmonious look. If you don't opt for a full grid, you could choose to align the top or the bottom of your frames, or you can stagger their height. If you do vary the frame sizes, you can choose one larger focal point in the middle of the set – or not! If you really want to make a bold statement, you can spread your gallery wall out from floor to ceiling. It is up to you and your whimsy.

4. Mixed gallery wall
A mixed gallery wall kind of combines principles 1 and 3 – a gallery wall of frames intermixed with objects that vary in color, size and depth. Think of a clock, a ceramic piece, a sign, antique finds, a mirror, a wall hook, a planter, a sconce... You can mix decor and practicality by adorning your wall with stuff you actually use (like your pots and pans) interspersed with art. That's what I've done in my kitchen and it makes me happy at least 3 times a day!
Picture
Picture
5. Easels
​Easels are a simple way to display art prints on surfaces like counters or furniture when they are not easy to lean (depending on their style and size). In fact, I think they're somewhat underrated! Acrylic or metal wall art, for example, can look very nice when placed on a small easel on a surface. Larger easels can also add an artistic flair to your space. Easels, like shelves, allow you to easily switch around your art display as frequently as you feel like it.

I hope you enjoyed these tips for creatively displaying art in your space!

6 Photographs that are special to me

23/1/2017

0 Comments

 
Favoritism is a real thing.
​
In an ever-growing collection of photographs, there are a few that are special to me and that I am especially happy to see you adopt for your home.
1. Laguna Mia
Picture
​Venice, of course. My lagoon, my soulmate. I remember the day perfectly. I can still feel the damp lagoon air on my face and tangled in my hair. I was alone – my favorite way to be in Venice – and I was close to one of my favorite places in the city. I was taking my time to get there, making sure to look thoroughly around and take in everything along the way. The air threatened rain, but Venice and I have a pact on that, so of course it didn’t rain. Two gondolas, a bridge and the perfect reflection. I felt as though I’d just captured a painting. I knew it was special to me before I even saw it on my computer. Laguna Mia encompasses so much of what I love and so much soulful atmosphere in a single shot. It is the cover of my (unpublished, stay tuned) book on Venice. It has my heart. 
Picture
2. London Bulbs
Picture
​Not long ago, I wrote a post about this photograph, as part of my “Made Me Look” series. London Bulbs is sentimental for a multitude of reasons – finally a trip to London, and one of the first photographs where I consciously thought that my eye had developed into something new, in capturing a mood and a pattern. I remember feeling as though I had caught something special just there. London Bulbs is so memorable for me that it forms a subtle background to my business cards (thanks Alati design atelier!). 
Picture
3. Barcarolle
Picture
​Another “firefly” I caught in my palm. Another moody day on the water. I took this photograph in Bari, southern Italy, one of my favorite port towns. I wrote about it as part of my “Made Me Look” series, and you may have caught a glimpse of it in my “Adriatica” blog post, because I had it made in acrylic for my maritime-inspired office. Veni Etiam was already in the works but not publicly unveiled when Barcarolle was taken. I remember discussing it with someone who said they thought a lone boat was so melancholic. That’s interesting, I told her. I find it so powerful. It is a meaningful photograph not only because I adore boats, port towns and Italy, but because of the power I perceive in its melancholy. 
Picture
4. Malinconia
Picture
​You may have guessed from the title that a touch of melancholy lives in this scene as well. I love this photograph for its colors, the reflection, the ropes and buoys, and the light. It was one of those rare shots where I only took one variation of it. I have it framed in my office. It reminds me that old, weather-beaten, rustic souls can be beautiful.  
Picture
5. Converging Boats
Picture
​There was so much that was beautiful about the small fishing town of Bermeo in the Basque Country. It was a cloudy afternoon, but all the colors of the village and the docked boats livened up the scene. I walked slowly along the marina as locals enjoyed their lunch at several small restaurants facing the sea. I looked down and found a dock with vibrantly colored boats, tied to the same anchor. Their harmonious position and colors made me stop in my tracks. I have never seen anything like it since. 
Picture
6. Gondola
Picture
​The tide was coming in. Waves were already spilling onto the wooden docks. The gondolas rocked and rose and fell with the unsettled waters, banging against the wood against their will. There were very few people around by the Canal; the fish market further away was in full bustle. I walked up a gilded gondola and caught its reflection in the puddle the tide had left. I love this photograph because of the unexpected reflection, and the way that each return to Venice offers me a new view to experience and cherish.

5 simple tips for starting your own business

20/1/2017

0 Comments

 
Picture
Brainstorming and introspection (over coffee, of course)
1. Follow your heart

It sounds incredibly cheesy as business advice, but sometimes I am just incredibly cheesy. Pay attention to what you gravitate towards, what you love to do, what you’d love to share with others. You may not want to start a full-time business out of a hobby – and that’s totally reasonable – but if there’s something you’re passionate about and want to do more with, the first step is searching within yourself to pinpoint exactly what you can do. Sometimes life has a way of showing you what you’re good at, again and again and again, until you decide to make something more out of it.

2. Believe that you can

​
It can be daunting to chase a dream – even more daunting to dabble in things you have no idea about, like websites, licenses and accounting. But there is nothing more important than constantly reminding yourself that you can do anything with a little motivation and time. Finding the right balance between pushing yourself outside of your comfort zone yet being kind to yourself is really key. Often, we dwell on what we think are limitations to our success, but as someone wise consistently points out - these are only excuses! Think about all the crazy things you let your mind believe in a day. Why wouldn't you believe in your own potential? It takes time to retrain your brain to be on your side. You’ll have to be patient until you get the hang of it.

3. Be clear on your mission and be yourself

​
Doesn’t it feel like most people are entrepreneurs nowadays? Aren’t there tons of people on Etsy or in your community who do something similar to what you do? That’s why it’s so important to be clear on your mission and to find your own spin or niche. Most often, the fresh spin is related to your own personality, your own story and your own strengths. Those are the characteristics that set you apart from others and that make your mission appealing to others, so channel your uniqueness in your business.

4. Don’t be afraid to jump

​
It sounds like permission to be reckless. But what it is, is permission to take risks. There are always risks involved with starting something new, shaking up your status quo. There are also risks to business. There is always a lot to learn, and with the rate at which things change in our modern world, you can never learn it all. You should thoughtfully reflect, brainstorm, research, read up on resources and plan. But ultimately, you’ll have to take a leap of faith and learn as you go.

5. Invest in resources and find a mentor

​
It still astonishes me daily just how there is a wealth of information online FOR FREE, and how even incredible courses from world-renowned individuals can be FREE of charge. Make sure that "professional development" is on your routine to-do list for your business. This is something I only started doing at the end of last year, in the 2nd year of my business. I can honestly say that investing time in reading, watching videos, finding mentors and subscribing to their resources has accelerated my personal and professional growth in ways that could not be underestimated. It's easy to feel overwhelmed and to fall behind, so carve out time to find, digest and implement information from resources.

5 things you (probably) didn’t know about me

18/1/2017

0 Comments

 
Picture
1. I was born and raised in Montreal but have had an address for a prolonged period of time in 5 other cities. Out of these, Florence is the only city that is not part of my shop collection, as digital photography had not found me yet and somehow I think scanning faded film photographs would not result in pretty wall-art for your home! I’ll have to return – as is my way (and the translation of the Latin name of my shop). 
2. I should probably not admit this rather reckless habit…but I tend to throw my camera in my bag or purse without extra protection. That way, no excuses, it's always with me and I'm ready to use it (rather than a camera phone) whenever the mood strikes or opportunity arises.
3. In large part, I owe the development of Veni Etiam to my scientific career. Living in three European countries and attending scientific conferences two or three times a year have allowed me to see places I would not have otherwise travelled to in such a short period of time. Even when travelling on scientific business, I try to plan two days in my schedule for exploring, writing and photographing the place at my leisure. Bonus fact: I wrote for my University blog for almost five years before finally launching my own blog.

4. I love color in all things. You’ll notice from my shop, my Instagram account and glimpses I give you of my personal space that there are no neutral tones and there isn’t much white. I’m known for my pink and purple post-its. My apartment is called the "Pink Palazzo" due to its antique rose walls. Almost none of my Christmas ornaments or dinner plates belong to a uniform set. I live in a very colorful world and I translate that into Veni Etiam. This is possibly related to a neurological trait I have called “synesthesia”. Without color, I just wouldn’t be me.

5. My biggest dream is to be an author – not only a blog writer or scientific author, though I enjoy both tremendously, but to sit my butt down and finish a book, cover to cover, and to have it printed would be my greatest joy.

5 things you (probably) didn't know about Veni Etiam Photography

16/1/2017

​1. Veni Etiam was founded in 2014 but officially launched to the public in 2015. That is why you’ll see “EST 2014” on the logo. That one year period was the year in which I dreamed up my mission, my collection and my online shop. I designed the website though it was still unpublished for a year. The day I hit publish, I wrote my first blog post and … there was no turning back!

2. As much as Italy is my most profound inspiration, the place that acted as a kind of catalyst of my vision for Veni Etiam was the Basque Country. It was during a scientific trip to that region when I started to think more concretely and more technically about my photographic aspirations. Fun fact: the Basque country is a part of my scientific aspirations as well, so in a way the place plays two important roles for me. There are several photographs of the Basque Country in my collection. Can you spot them?

3. The first 5 photographs ever printed with the Veni Etiam Photography logo on them were Laguna Mia (canvas), Underground (canvas), Plentzia (acrylic), Light on the Lake (canvas) and A Windowful of Sky (acrylic). These were printed for individuals I knew, before Veni Etiam was officially launched.

4. When I first launched my online shop in 2015, I only offered wall-art on canvas, metal, acrylic and wood. It was when I kept getting asked about fine-art prints that I decided to include those in my web-shop and opened up an Etsy shop that focused on small-sized prints.

5. Before I found my new home and studio in Montreal, Veni Etiam basically consisted of a big red plastic bin of prints and a big box of shipping materials hidden (not so inconspicuously) under my bed. 
I hope you enjoyed these five fun facts! Leave a comment and tell me which one was your favorite.

Veni Etiam turns TWO!

15/1/2017

It feels like so much has happened since I wrote my first blog post the day that I launched my little passion project, that it’s incredibly hard to believe it’s only been two years.

So hard to believe, in fact, that I have found myself mentally double-checking my arithmetic (2015 to 2017, yes, two years. Duh, silly girl).

In two years, Veni Etiam went from being a web portfolio with a blog, to a dynamic shop, as well as a seller on Etsy and in the local Montreal community, with its growing inclusion in stores and art fairs.

It may be bad business to admit this, but when I opened my shop two years ago, I didn’t have a clear business plan or a clear goal – not even at a vague conceptual level, let alone in a measurable set of milestones and metrics. All I knew was that it was time, that it was risky and that it made a little pocket of space inside of me fill up with excited butterflies. Everything else, would have to come along the way.

​I was pursuing my PhD in neurolinguistics by day (and night… sigh #consumedbymyPhD) and working on Veni Etiam in those intervals where my eyes took breaks from my Excel sheets and experimental designs to work on more Excel sheets and on web-design. I remember being late to start on my academic to-do list on some mornings due to urgent product photos that I had to take to explain to clients what aluminum prints and floater frames looked like. Suddenly, I was standing on a chair in the dining room of my tiny but beloved apartment that I had affectionately named “The Pink Palazzo”, taking pictures of pictures (a sometimes frustrating task) from all sorts of angles, while my thesis beckoned. But there was room for both in my heart and in my life.

​Building a business at the same time as building a research career was as bizarre as it was, simply put, “me”. The only downside about having two lives was that I didn’t have as much time and energy to make Veni Etiam grow to its full potential right away. But life isn't a race, and sometimes we benefit more when we don't try to force the pace of everything.

As time went on, my passion grew. Ideas crept up faster and could not be ignored. Structure and strategy developed. I learned so much from fellow artists and clients. I experimented and fine-tuned. I took leap after leap; sometimes it paid off, sometimes it didn’t, but I was happy I took each leap, because now I don’t have to wonder, and now I don’t have to try that again.
​
A lot has changed in two years, and I feel momentum, excitement and gratitude. I am pumped for this year and so grateful for followers who “get” what I do and why I do it, who feel inspired by my photographs and stories, and whose feedback always keeps me motivated and aligned with how to best serve you.

♥ to choose which 8x8 fine-art print they wish to receive for free
