Bref, en Septembre je blogue de nouveau
Gosh, I have been gone for so long
Ok ,I have thought about all the different cheesy ways of saying that I am blogging again but I can't find a good one so I will keep it short.
I am blogging again :D
What's new?
My blog will be more structured. I am adding little categories that I am grouping into the " Inspiration box " tab. My Inspiration box is a collection of my inspirations, reviews and discoveries in photography and other Visual Arts. I hope that I can inspire you too.
Of course, I will still blog about my silly and ordinary life in "my black rainbow"
Thank you for still reading me
