Went for a run the day before. Yikes. When you’re used to running in the Midwest, hills make everything a tad more difficult. I guess there’s a reason people run down by the lake where it’s flatter.
On the 12th (yup, I’m real behind on these posts), I went down to the lake again and visited the photography museum, next door to the
Olympic Museum. The Musée de l'Élysée was featuring an exhibit on Philippe Haisman, a photographer whose work was featured on the majority of Life magazine covers and who also happened to be close friends with the fascinating Salvador Dali.
I found Haisman’s work phenomenal and incredibly interesting. I especially loved his collaborations with Dali – he would try to create and photograph abstract photos by developing his photos certain ways, sometimes literally cutting and pasting photos and redeveloping. The creativity required amongst photographers before Photoshop was intriguing to me. The photos seemed truly raw and genuine. Below are a couple of my favorites from his exhibit (photo credit:

On the way back home, I hopped out at the Bessieres metro stop to take pictures of the postcard view as the sun was setting.
Lovely Lausanne. x
