The Doorman


The Four Seasons George V is not a place where I hang out when in Paris, but last January I was fortunate to have an appointment to photograph their stunning floral arrangements.  Just walking up to the hotel was a thrill. The doormen are even dressed to the nines!

Looks like a scene from a James Bond movie V. The seem to be reading a map but, with a bit of imagination, I can see some plotting and a bit of espionage.

I took a "girlfriend" trip to Paris and the five of us had high tea at the George V . It was indeed oh la la...and the flowers breath taking!

Looks like he's better turned out than some of the clientele! It's not a bad idea to "learn the lobby" at a few high-end hotels around town. Never know when you'll be in the neighborhood and looking for a good public loo.

None of those people look like doormen.

Do you ever think about the disconnect between a doorman working here in such formal an environment and then going back home to what is inevitably a modest (or worse) home?

Dear Virginia,
the is such a beautiful hotel. Maybe one day if we stop renting apartments or stay for a short visit we will stay there.
Your photos are always so beautiful.
Wishing you a beautiful weekend!
