I’ve always aimed high. As a teenager, I’d say “You think I can’t do it? Watch me!”. As an adult, I still like to take bets and challenge myself, and when I think of people I’d like to interview for Inspired By You!, famous people as well as friends of mine pop up in my [...]

Since I restarted doing stuff for Inspired By You! (brainstorming sessions in cafés, contacting a few people, talking about it to friends, looking up everything I came across), I’ve discovered so many interesting people and projects it drives me crazy with excitement! I don’t even know where to start, and social medias make it easier [...]

It seems that many people have been writing about inspiration and how those who surround us are a source of energy and creativity. However, I might simply be aware of that theme because that’s what I’m focusing on right now. To be honest, I hope I’m wrong, because I don’t want my theme to be [...]

Here I am again, a few months later. According to my Spring plans, Inspired by you! should be well started by now. In reality, between finishing my studies, looking for a job, finding one and getting used to the schedule and everything, my project has been gathering dust somewhere in a not too well lit [...]

I’ve finished my studies a month ago and have been busy looking for work, including freelance translation jobs, but my project has not died, it’s just on stand-by until my professional life is a bit steadier… See you soon!

Because we’re not always moved by an artist, it’s important to aknowledge when it does happen and enjoy the magic of the moment as much as we can. This is why I’d like to share Sally Mann‘s photography. Although her art is controversial, in my opinion, she has a rare way of capturing the beauty [...]

I can’t write about starting this project without acknowledging the help of those who surround me, friends, web 2.0 friends or acquaintances. Weither they inspire me, encourage me, believe in my project, give their feedback, lend me equipment, give some advice or simply don’t discourage me, they’re here, and I’m blessed. Although it’s not always [...]

When starting a project, the first thing you’d think of having is the right equipment, isn’t it? But what if the urge of starting something is greater than what you actually have? If you want to bake a cake, flour is mandatory. And cheap. If you want to record interviews, you have to have a [...]

I’ve been working at a documentary film festival these past few days, as an interpreter/translator. That’s something I love as I get to see documentaries, talk with directors, learn tons of things and help people understand each other. Tomorrow, I’ll be working on Red Shirley, Lou Reed‘s first documentary. Mr Reed himself will be attending [...]

A good way to see if you’ve learned something is to explain it to someone else. That’s what many students do; they study a certain topic and then explain it to their friends or relatives, trying to be as clear as possible. That way, they can see if they’ve integrated things well enough to do [...]
