If you love Paris and you love photography, then November is the month you need to go! For the entire month, fabulous exhibits, many free, are offered all over Paris from the Grand Palais to the smallest galleries. We didn't opt for the extravaganza Paris Photo, at the Grand Palais, but in one day saw three terrific exhibits, at no cost. Today we visit the Mona Bismarck American Center, just across the Seine from la Tour Eiffel. The Yousuf Karsh exhibit was excellent. You might not have know his name but you certainly would know his work.

Paris je t'aime
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.

Ses photos sont un peu académiques mais il a fait des portraits remarquables.
Yes, I didn't know his name before, but almost all his photos - portraits - are extremely well-known. Defintely worth the visit!
Sorry I missed this one, V—but glad you didn't!
What a nice shot !
I would love to see all that! I'm so glad you were there at that time to have the opportunity -- so fitting for a wonderful photographer!
I know him well. He had his studios here in Ottawa for decades, made his name here. Several of his works are hanging in the lounge of the Chateau Laurier, including his Churchill.
His brother Malak Karsh was just as accomplished a photographer, but used a different subject: the landscapes and the wilderness. They were both amazing photographers.
Actually, September if the very best month in which to be in Paris, for all the reason you mention for November....PLUS the weather is fantastic!
I saw an exhibit by Karsh at the MFA in Boston several years ago --- excellent portrait photos. Glad you were able to see this exhibit. Inspiring, n'est-ce pas?
me gusta!
