l'atelier de shimony

Jonathan Shimony is the professor of my art class- "materials and techniques of the masters"
His studio is in the suburb right outside, south, of the city. the location is considered very "FAR" if you ask any true parisians, afterall, its in zone 2 (AHHHH!!!). but in reality? its really only 10mins rer ride from st-michel notre-dame, which is bascially the heart of paris (and where i live, HA).
anyway, he's invited us to have classes in his studio instead of our regular "classroom", which is a room in the back of a church thats leased to aup. we are contracted to keep it pristine and clean so that makes it hard for us to really go crazy with the paint.
today was our last class at the studio and i went prepared. i brought my camera and asked to photograph the place. he agreed and said if i manage to sell any of his works, i can even get commission. so there, peeps- show some love.

student: is your wife french?
shimony: no, worse
(questioning stares from everyone)
shimony: she's parisian
