I’m testing the Protonmail Authenticator app and it has a lot of nice features and seems trustworthy.
I am listening to AIrPods Pro 3 for the first time. They sound great and feel great in my ears. This is the first time I managed to pass the seal test. The installed tips work for me. I am a happy customer.
Notre-Dame Reborn
Notre-Dame has reopened, five years after the devastating fire. When I stepped inside on my recent trip to Paris, I saw not scars but renewal — a cathedral more luminous than I remembered.
Maison Européenne de la Photographie, Paris
Just published: Maison Européenne de la Photographie: A Home for Photography — my walk through the MEP in Paris and the Marie-Laure de Decker exhibition. Her black-and-white work held me still: film grain, quiet strength, and moments that linger. More than photos, this is about presence and seeing.
My iPhone battery life is significantly worse after upgrading to iOS 26. I have an iPhone 15 pro max.

Paris – La maison qui penche à Montmartre
FR : À Montmartre, près du Sacré-Cœur, cette illusion d’optique fait croire que l’immeuble bascule. En réalité, c’est la butte qui est en pente — mais l’effet visuel amuse toujours les passants et les photographes.

Normandy American Cemetery, Colleville-sur-Mer

Paris at Night, 2025
The Eiffel Tower glows beyond a quiet street, framed by lit windows and the moon breaking through clouds. A nocturnal Paris, both intimate and grand.
