And writers etc. Amazing to hear about that period.
Paris was the place to be for artists at the time! 
I'm not a linguist but would guess this is due to relatively recent influence of French art world.
(Whereas something like "homage" is medieval and has an English pronunciation /ˈhɒmɪdʒ/ )
I'm not sure but guessing the French/English pronunciation.
Question for @vernissage perhaps?
BTW for anyone wondering what it means: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vernissage
p.p.s. People are going to inevitably ask how this compares to Pixelfed. This is my take:
- Pixelfed is an Instagram-style social network platform based around images and short videos
- Vernissage is a Flickr-style photography platform for exploring still photos as an art form
Please feel free to correct if this is wrong.
p.s. The name "Vernissage" may cause some confusion as it was used for two totally different projects, so here's an explanation to hopefully make things clearer:
- The developer makes two Fediverse things: an independent photography platform called Vernissage, and a third party Pixelfed app called Impressia
- The Pixelfed app used to be called "Vernissage" but is now called "Impressia"
- If you want more info about Impressia, you can follow it at @impressia
If you're looking for a Flickr-style photography platform on the Fediverse, there's one in beta testing called Vernissage:
Bear in mind it's still in testing, so it may not all work properly yet. You can follow the latest news on its official account:
Vernissage is part of the Fediverse so you can also use it to view photos and follow photographers from Mastodon, Pixelfed and other Fedi platforms.
