Sunday Paris Church Series - Notre Dame de Paris

While photographing Notre Dame organist Vincent Dubois last November, he was kind enough to take Mary and me to this "gallery" to photograph. This is an area that the public is not allowed and was empty except for some pews along the side. This allowed for some wonderful photographs with an unusual point of view.

Sunday Paris Church Series - View From the Organ Loft

Last November, with thanks to Dr. Jeff McLelland, Music Director at Independent Presbyterian Church, for the introduction, I was so fortunate to meet Vincent Dubois,  organist at Cathédrale Notre-Dame de Paris. I was invited by Vincent to sit in the organ loft and photograph during the mass. 

Sunday Church Series - The American Cathedral in Paris

The residence of the Dean of the Cathedral is located above the enclosed courtyard. I always enjoy attending services there when I visit Paris. This trip, Mary and I will be attending a mass at Notre Dame de Paris as we will be meeting Vincent Dubois, one of the organists. I am hoping to be able to photograph him play during the mass. He will be playing a recital at Independent Presbyterian Church here in February.
