Subject: Paris, again...

Very few of my photos mean so much to me, as those from Paris...

As we plan another trip, I have been motivated to review, and rework images
from earlier. Each time I see them,  new thoughts and emotions emerge. I
will show some over coming weeks.

All are images from previous trips, some never seen, some shown
before...almost all taken with leica M cameras, and film...

here's one...

Hi Steve,

I've just come in from "working my garden". I mean digging big time! It
feels like I need a slight cooling off from the 86 degrees Fahrenheit temp.

 

So a break for a cool look at one of my favourite cities also, Paris! 

 

You have to love it in the cool of an evening sitting at an outside
bar-restaurant watching the beauties passing by. :-)  Oh I mean watching the
pleasant scene passing by. ;-)

 

Nice shot ... However! :-)

Now you know when you see, "However" there is going to be a critical
comment. :-)  Right?

 

So OK here it is.

 

You didn't hold the camera straight!!!!! Look at the buildings right and
left and you tilted the camera down and I know why. Because you wanted to
make sure you had the lady's feet and shadow in the frame for sure. Right?

 

But in doing so you spoiled the "perfect" look to this very interesting
moment.

 

Nit picking? Damn right, but that's what sorts out the very good shooters as
you are 99.999999999999999% of the time. Don't feel bad simply because we
all did it or have done it. But once this is pointed out, you will never
forget the message any time you put the camera to your eye.

 

Bring on the next one! :-)
