No... the "great idea" is not to show my face on PDP, but what you actually can see in the background of this photo... It's one of the fonds de photo, that is " photo backgrounds" made by two artists Ella & Pitr, aka Les papiers peintres. You can find them everywhere in Paris (and other cities throughout the world), they are glued to any wall and they come with instructions that say "take a photo of yourself in front of this background and send it to this email address". That is what I did (with my camera phone, which explains itspoor quality)! The whole collection can be seen at this address (my photo does not show yet) and also in a book, that is due to be released on Dec. 10. I think this is a great, creative idea
You look so different! Is it because of the angle from which you took the picture? (You're still handsome though.)
ReplyDeleteAnother good reason to use flickr!
ReplyDeleteGreat photo -- the papier matches your hair. hahahahaha
ReplyDeleteQuelle idée géniale! Ella and Pitr need to come to NYC, or maybe I need to go to Paris (or Venice or Brussels or Arles or Vevey or Berlin . . .). So where did you take your picture exactly?
ReplyDeleteIs the one at la rue Vieille-du-Temple still there?
ReplyDeleteHow soon before it's covered in graffiti? Pity. Looks nice as it is.
ReplyDeleteI love it! You look handsome.
ReplyDeleteGreat idea! I think the quality of the photo you took looks great. Nice photo of you!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun idea, I love it! And great picture of you :^)
ReplyDeleteGreat !
ReplyDeletePortrait & autoportrait : a nice subject that I'd love to explore deeper.
I love autoportraits from artists in general and yours is fine !
The way you do things seriously without meaning yourself too serious, is really a good thing. Keep it up!!
I'm seeing you in more and more of your shots recently Eric. Why don't you do a weird self-portrait series like I do. Or even not weird if you like! Great shot :-)
ReplyDelete@Ujima "You look so different! Is it because of the angle from which you took the picture? (" No mostly the bad quality of the camera I think.
ReplyDelete@Lois "-- the papier matches your hair. " ??? I don't see pink dots on my hair LOL!
@Alexa " So where did you take your picture exactly?" Near the Blanc Manteaux area.
@Anonymous "Is the one at la rue Vieille-du-Temple still there? " I don't know.
@Cn "The way you do things seriously without meaning yourself too serious, is really a good thing. " ;-))
