Don't ask me why, but I love this photo! I took it right in front of Notre Dame, while I was in the line waiting to get in to photograph the bells (that I posted two days ago). Because of the 850th anniversary of the Cathedral (a pretty respectable age!), they installed these "steps" where people can sit while attending the various celebrations that will take place throughout the year (have a look at the kick off session they had there in December). Also, as you can notice it, it's pretty cold in Paris at the moment ;-)

Oh this is superb Eric. I don't get to comment as often as before but still like your surprises. Minimalist, but you can still tell it's a big scene.
ReplyDeleteYes, Michael, you took one of the words I was going to use. Minimalist, graphic, and the two people echo each other in their sizes.
ReplyDeleteSometimes the artists just do what comes naturally without imtellectualizing about the result, even tho they could.
They Echo each other in their outfits.. Their sizes bring dimension and irony to the photo. That is what I meant to say.
ReplyDeleteOh my, Michael is looking all "authory" now! :)
ReplyDeleteAnd I too LOVE this photo ET. I'd love to have a crack at photographing the steps as well, but.......waaaaaaaaaa

Great photo to caught the momment. Great Eric?
ReplyDeletePhx2cdg, you are an artist of words.
Very cool photo! It reminds me of an expanded musical score, with the two people as "notes" on the "staff".
ReplyDeleteOut of the picture, was there an old man just up and to the right ?
ReplyDeleteGreat composition Eric. It always seems difficult to get just the "right" people in a photo and doing just the "right" things. But you did it !
great shot. this picture reminds me of a computer screen game and the "little man" is making his way up to the "big man"....kind of like a super Mario.
ReplyDeletethe only thing cooler than this picture is you Eric for another great photograph!!!!
Excellent shot and crop! Great contrast of dark and light, young and old, short and tall, bold lines, perfect focal point, even the 2 subjects fitted perfectly within the lines, and so did the shadows! Have you tried processing the image as a B&W, and compare the effects? Nice capture!
ReplyDeleteThat’s a HUGE pet-levee of mine… . People from THIS side of the Atlantic (Americas) having so little perspective about the story the age / experience / perspective that 20 times the history of a place bestows on other venues than the one you’re used to…… Seems to inspire a particular type of insanity..
ReplyDeleteLove what Ms. M said about notes on a scale. Eric, your timing—and your eye—are impeccable!
ReplyDeleteLOVE IT! The contrast in size against the conformity of the stairs and outfits....great.
ReplyDeleteLove this shot. Nice setup, even though it's not. I agree with the other comment, B&W would probably look pretty good too.
