Sometimes a photographer can trap another one! That's what I did when taking this shot in the main courtyard of the Louvre where the famous glass Pyramid (that I only photographed once here) was built. This pyramid is also surrounded by several basins that I used in this picture. Have a nice week everyone...
Thank you Eric, I'll need it i feel. I wish you too.
ReplyDeleteAt first glance this person looks as though wading through treacle. lol. What a great shot though, that pyramid is so interesting. Never seen it up close.
You lucky man to live in a city where such a visual feast set out before you. Your subject looks like a fly fisherman of images, holding a little camera instead of a rod and reel.
ReplyDeleteLovely photo of a photographer.
ReplyDeleteShe does look like she's standing in water or as lynn said, treacle! lol :-D
ReplyDeleteReally cool shot. It's fun to check out your blog each day.
ReplyDeleteAnd dream about Paris...

treacle
ReplyDeleteEtymology: Middle English triacle, from Anglo-French, from Latin theriaca, from Greek thēriakē antidote against a poisonous bite, from feminine of thēriakos of a wild animal, from thērion wild animal, diminutive of thēr wild animal — more at FIERCE
1: a medicinal compound formerly in wide use as a remedy against poison
2: chiefly British a: MOLASSES b: a blend of molasses, invert sugar, and corn syrup used as syrup —called also golden syrup
3: something (as a tone of voice) heavily sweet and cloying
I love words as much as I love Paris, including looking at the etymology and the users. !!
you are my kind of guy, Jeff. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteOh, I really like this one - and I think having it in black and white has made it even better!
ReplyDeleteThanks Eric. I hope someday to get to walk along those paths you show us in your daily photos. Especially at the Louvre...the one place on Earth I have always wanted to visit. Thanks for the photos...I visit every single day!!!
ReplyDeleteMommy: don't forget to visit the Louvre website. It's the next best thing to being there! But be careful, you may lose an afternoon before you know it.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Jeff - I was wondering what "treacle" was - clever Lynn.
ReplyDeleteI have only seen water in the Fountains here once - all the other times they had been drained. This is such a romantique place at night when it's all lit up!!
Nice shot.
ReplyDeleteIt's catch my eyes from the DP portal.
B&W is very nice on this picture.
it is charming!
ReplyDeleteNice shoot. Looks like it is already very cold out there.
ReplyDeleteI love this shot Eric - you seem to take a lot of pics where you place the camera on the ground or on a ledge and I think it's really effective (reminder to self: must do more of this).
ReplyDeleteJust on a point of reflection: I talk about the daily photo blogs loads, not just in my personal circle but also at work as social networking is a lot of what we do at Spannerworks. How many blogs are we up to? how much traffic do we generate as a group of bloggers? how many comments are there within our circles? I'd love to know some of this stuff.
Good work brother - look see what you started!!!
wonderfull foto! congratulations
ReplyDeleteI like that angle as well. I think to do that when I photograph my cat but not when I'm photographing other subjects. I like this black and white and the photographer! Fun. I love catching others in action.
