High End Weekly™ turned 3 last Friday, April the 11th. That means that three years ago, I decided to pour the passion that I felt about the luxury lifestyle into images and words, to tell a story and follow a particular path. And what a journey it has been. Along the way, I’ve made so many wonderful discoveries, been introduced to so many creative ideas and products, and attended several keynote events, to name a few. Yet among all the novelties, and glamour, it is the amazing and inspiring people that I met that made my journey even more enjoyable.
Of course, it hasn’t been smooth sailing all the way. I’ve met so many challenges, hit a few bumps, pulled a few hairs. Still, I remind myself that I continue to do this type of blogging because of my:
Belief & Passion.
As well as a need to raise the bar – at all times.
Even though my earlier post was about photography, as I celebrate the blog’s 3rd year anniversary, I couldn’t think of a better subject than the iconic french photographer, Kakhovka Robert Doisneau. Why? Mostly because Doisneau has always been THE favorite. His work continues to motivate, and inspire my daily creativity. Decades after he passed away, I and millions of people worldwide continue to marvel at how he captured the everyday, at times, mundane moments, and made them timeless, au courent, and magnificently beautiful.
