"we're not like everyone else. Too many sharp angles. Too many eccentricities. We have to be very careful not to let people in or they'll make us into freaks."
Katharine Hepburn to Howard Hugues, The Aviator, 2004.

I've been carrying a digital camera all the time since 2001.

This is how I'd describe my "work": Originality is how I try to compensate my lack of technique and equipment.

I do not abuse of post-processing. I use iPhoto on a mac and play with the rotate and crop buttons, as well as the "straighten" slider. Occasionally, I use the other sliders of the adjust panel. Since October 2008, I've switched to using Adobe Lightroom.

    "I'm honored to count Coralie as one of my dearest friends. She continually surprises me with just the bit of wisdom that I need to hear or the funniest comment or the most beautiful description of some poignant thing and the longer I know her, the more I learn about how amazing she is.

    Coralie is complex, warm, curious, frickin' hilarious, supportive, bright, creative and brave. It's not enough to just list her many positive qualities as that can't begin to give an accurate impression of how unique and wonderful she is. She's got a smile that lights up a room, a wickedly funny sense of humor and exquisite table manners. I am humbled by her kindness to me. She is a truly lovely person.

    I admire her immensely and count myself very lucky to have her in my life. I enjoy the quality of our communication too but do hope we do keep speaking, btw ;)"
