I love this one, especially the look on the police who isn't in the act of greeting Madame. He loved being the subject of your lens.<br />Bisous,<br />AidanAidanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16518167933001080635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8865814823931525026.post-86995043518476733972012-02-25T04:49:25.571-06:002012-02-25T04:49:25.571-06:00Ha, this can be only in Paris for sure!

You are right, normally you ...A fantastic shot!!! <br /><br />You are right, normally you are not supposed to take photos of policemen (or -women) "en face", when on duty. (Don't ask me why.) The "képis" these guys are wearing show however that they are not belonging to the "Police Nationale", but rather to the "Gendarmerie", (part of the army) or possibly to the "Garde Républicaine". That should not make much of a difference, they are all "the police". I guess you were just lucky to meet some real nice and friendly guys. (I wouldn't say that policemen in general are not nice people.) :-)PeterParishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09694538476960957295noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8865814823931525026.post-80035987483885089102012-02-22T22:14:57.297-06:002012-02-22T22:14:57.297-06:00Alain, I'd love to hear you sing this one!:)
...Alain, I'd love to hear you sing this one!:)<br /><br />Hiker, <br />I waited of course. Then got very lucky. An UTINV NIEIPSEN is exactly what did it.<br /><br />And for the record I've tried to photograph the Paris police before and they turned their backs and did not want to allow phtographs. Maybe having Luxembourg Garden duty makes them very happy and agreeable. I think so.Virginiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01152464973355194995noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8865814823931525026.post-64805575155250812962012-02-22T22:01:32.218-06:002012-02-22T22:01:32.218-06:00Lord, how did you get that exact right moment?
