more gems. Love the second pic, and though the person in the first one has her/his back to us, indifference is clearly the emotion. Thanks for your nice comments on my blog, V.
Schindler's list, don't look now, little red riding hood. Red is always a powerful statement. Indifference bought the tear to my cynical eye. All great but that shot with the title is photo journalism, the human condition, modern living... you get the pictiure. Gold star today for the sheer tour de force of such a powerful image.
The last shot looks like my dining table- full of Gary's brushes in coffee jars.
B, INDIFFERENCE, was a photo I had ignored until yesterday when i was scrolling through and had a second look. Maybe that says something for all of us. Don't be so quick to delete. Let your photos linger a while and maybe you'll see something at first pass you missed . Just a thought. V
I am a former elementary school teacher, a full-time photographer, lover of all things French ( whose French is slowly improving), obsessive Paris traveler, enthusiastic church and community volunteer, and grandmother to 5 delightful grandchildren.
I fell in love with Paris in March 2007. It was as the French say, le coup de foudre : love at first sight. As a result of that trip, my photography took another direction. Since that time I have pursued a career of sorts in photography and dreamed of returning to the City of Light. November 2008 found me strolling the streets of Paris once again. My first visit I was so overwhelmed with the incredible beauty of the city, I photographed it as a "tourist". In 2008 I returned and I looked at the city with more of a photographer's eye. I wanted to capture the unique, the small details, and oh yes - the people! This blog was started as a photo diary of that trip, but I have been most fortunate to return to the city j'adore 15 times since. Each time I leave, I wipe a tear and start planning my list for the next trip. Paris may well be a moveable feast, but I think it's best savored in person! Someone told me that once you have been to Paris, you will leave a piece of your heart. I left mine right there, but I brought home some wonderful memories. It is my pleasure to share them with you.

Amazing isn't it, how a caption can raise an image to an even higher plane. The red coat is stunning.
The 'Indifference' shot is powerful! Well done, V.!

The artist brushes spoke to me the minute I passed them. FOR GARY should have been my title. Sorry I didn't think of it.

"Don't Look Now" - yes! Christie and Sutherland and Venice mid 70s. Must hunt down a copy ...
He has far too many as it is.
