paris at night
concept: it’s a moonlit night in paris, you’ve just finished the most romantic meal ever with your love and as you leave, walking hand in hand, you come across an old lady selling single roses on the side of the road. he runs over and grabs you the largest red rose and you continue. as you turn the corner you smile, look up and gaze at the glittering lights of the eiffel tower. as an accordion plays la vie en rose you look into eachother eyes, and kiss.
“Rain on roof outside window, gray light, deep covers and warm blankets. Rain and nip of autumn in air; nostalgia, itch to work better and bigger. That crisp edge of autumn.”
