After we left Monet’s home in Giverny to continue the road trip across Europe, we stopped here in Nice, along the French Riviera. I remembered this rooftop restaurant from about 20 years before when my dad had brought me out to this area. It was fun to take new friends there to experience it as well.

I took this during our short day in Nice, France while we were on the European Tour. After a breakfast stop with mimosas, we took a stroll down the beachfront and ended up in this hashtaggy area where a bunch of locals were in full French party mode! This is kind of a “throwaway photo” – and by that, I mean, I take a lot of quick photos here and there with never any plans to publish them. Just tiny little moments here and there that I think are interesting. I don’t publish 95% of the photos I take… I’ve always thought about making a Tumblr or another Instagram account called “Trey’s Throwaway Photos” that are little moments like this. I don’t know what to do with my other 95% of photos… they are not terrible, but they’re not portfolio-quality either… just kind of in between… little ideas like this.

I love Nice!
