Stage



Yesterday was my first day at my stage, or internship. I'll be working Wednesday mornings at a little business in the 2nd arrondissement that collects old photos of life in paris. It's called Phototèque des Jeunes Parisiens (Young Parisians), a name I don't full understand as the owner is not very young. Yesterday I spent the morning filing old photos based on their subject matter as well as just looking through their collection. The business makes its money selling postcards and photo books. They have a book for each arrondissement and also for certain decades or periods of time (1960s, Occupation, etc.). Above are the covers of some books they've published.

My coworkers are super nice and I went out to lunch with them after work yesterday. It should be fun.

  1. As your father, I feel it is my paternal duty to post a comment so it looks to the outside world like someone cares about what you have written on your blog and that this blog does not have all entries with "0 comments."
