I told people around me but not on Flickr, so for the many friends that I know on Flickr:
I have been pre-accepted into the Art Institute of Seattle in the Photography section.

I will be leaving France for good to live in Seattle for at least 3-4 years, starting in October 2012.
I wanted to thank everyone on Flickr for bringing me this far, it's thanks to your encouragements throughout the years that have helped me improve.

This is one of the scenes that I set up in a train station for a "Storytelling Scholarship" they are giving out.

Many Thanks once again,
Nathan

This is a project that is very personal to me. With a goal to reflect about things in my life by going beyond my comfort zone and understanding todays world view through the life stories of others.
I will this time not only interview strangers but also people I know to have a larger scope of interviews.

Hope you enjoy it.

18 year old french student. Her favorite color is green and her favorite food is seafood.
Her dream is that her "life becomes a voyage" and two words she used to describe herself was "Fighter", when I asked why, she just said :"If at first you don't succeed, try try again" and the second word to describe herself was "Daring" because she could leave everything to find adventure "I don't know how to ride a motocycle, but I would do it anyways if someone asked me."
Her favorite childhood memory was when her parents where still together and they where all having a great time together around the pool. Her worst childhood memory was seeing her family fall apart.
If Barbara could change anything in today's world it would be the "individualistic and hypocrite mentality of our society."
I then asked her what the word "Happiness" meant for her and she replied: "It's the ephemeral feeling of really existing."
