Leaving Paris

Charles De Gaulle Airport, Paris

Getting close to the top of the escalator to the departure lounge at Charles De Gaulle Airport in Paris - what a fabulous airport....other then they made me take out every piece of equipment I had with me....wires and all....what fun

Paris Impression 3

I really enjoy the way Hipstamatic renders the colors of Paris - and most other places I might add...raw and saturated.......It was the figurines int he widnow that won me over. Wallah.....

Late Afternoon Light

 

There is a quality about late afternoon light that is totally provocative. The indirect light creates those rich dark tones in the shadows and smooth highlights that the camera seems to love - not to mention one's own eye.... I also am enjoying the perverse symmetry of this image.

This particular image appeared outside my hotel room window in Paris last week....It was photographed using the iPhone4 and the Classic Pan Camera. Something about the cinematic aspect ratio of Classic Pan that works structurally for an image such as this. As mentioned in a previous blog I have been working with this camera quite a bit lately.

Jim Morrison's Grave

Tree, Jim Morrison Grave-site, Pere Lachaise, Paris

 This morning finds me in the airport in Copenhagen awaiting my flight back to New York City.

This image today is a piece of the tree that stands next to Jim Morrison's grave on the Right Bank of Paris at Pere Lachaise. As one can see most people who visit the grave sign this tree - not so easy to read any of the names but it stands after 40 years as a tribute to Morrison and his legend. I am one who always wonders what could have been but realize some are just shooting stars who finally hit the ground....

I am happy to have seen the Doors several times and needed to visit the grave....

OK off to the plane....
