Where Did You Have Your Epiphanie? // France + Spain

Leslie Callan tells us where she had her Epiphanie:

"I recently took a trip to Paris, through the French Countryside and down to Basque Country, stopping in San Sebastian, Spain. I'd upgraded to the Paris bag in Purple in late January from the red Lola because I needed to be able to carry around more when I'm working on jobs without having to bring my large roller bag. This trip was last minute and unexpected with a couple of girlfriends- we were given stand by tickets and told we could go anywhere the airline flies, and we chose France because one of my friends had never been there before.

The last time I was in Paris was before I'd become a professional photographer. It was three years ago during a backpacking trip through Europe that I fell in love with photography. Such a full circle experience to be back in one of the most beautiful places in the world, this time knowing how to take photos without shooting in Aperture Priority. It was just a coincidence that I'd just bought the Paris bag and was going to Paris! (the best kind of coincidence)

The Paris bag went with me all the way up the stairs of the Sacre Coeur and Notre Dame, through Versailles and Bordeaux, to the ancient castles of Villandry and Rabelais, and to the beaches of Biarritz and San Sebastian."

Highlights of Leslie's trip include:

* visiting castles in the Loire Valley

* going to the Marche aux Puces in Paris (flea market)

* Versailles

* staging impromptu photo shoots with my friends in castles and monuments and wherever else we felt like it

* staying at a rustic bed and breakfast in Langeais
