PDP Meeting in Paris


What could be better than a picnic along the bank of the Seine with the full moon, the Pont des arts in the background and a group of Paris lovers? Oh yes, did I mention the Rosé wine, the saucisson, Fromage de tête (real one!), Cantal cheese, and good conversation. But wait, there's more... A telephone call from Buzzgirl from San Francisco to top it all off! There are more photos to come on "The making of" but it's too late now and I have to wake up very early tomorrow. I just wanted to give you a peek...

  10. This picture proves that Paris is still human and that the people who live there, are still open hearted, not isolated to their daily problems, simple and natural as their antecedents who lived too in this beautiful city.

  14. Eric, it was an excellent evening! Thank you so much for organising this. The food and backdrop was fantastic as usual, but meeting the fellow bloggers was even more fun. As I don't want to reveal who is who (without their permission), I'll at least disclose that I'm the fat guy in the orange t-shirt. Voila, you can begin to narrow the others down from there.

    So, when is the next one????

  15. Great to see this meeting of like minds, or is it similar eyes, Eric. What a great idea. At times like this I do miss miss Paris, but only a little bit. Looking forward to seeing more.

    Hope you have a great trip to Dijon.

  16. So cute. Looks like the perfect setting. Hi Michael!

    Also, the 9 guy to 2 woman ratio isn't bad, either!

  17. Michel, it was great meeting you last night and your big camera. I'm looking forward to seeing those shots too!

    Missed you Buzzgirl, and wish I could have spoken to you on the telephone. It was nice of you to have called. The scene was perfect and the weather just right.

  19. This proves that the internet makes people come together in real life - I love it!
    If any of you ever come to Copenhagen I'll be happy to make a similar event!

  20. This is the real "Paris Plage Spirit".
    Eric, seek for a job as councellor for special events at la mairie de paris ;-)

  21. Nice meeting! Hope I'll be able to be there, as well as most of the "happy bloggers", at the next DPB IRL...

  22. It seems you had a great time. I come to PDP everyday. In fact, I'm thinking of starting my own Santiago(Chile) DailyPhoto. I haven't seen any.
    Hopefully, you'll repeat this kind of event someday.

  24. Happy early Father's day to our leader and DP father! Our friendly Parisian is making this so much fun! Hope that I will get to meet you and other DPers some day.

  25. This restores my faith in the internet and reminds me it is possible to meet some decent like-minded people as opposed to just being plagued by illiterate idiots in chatrooms and forums!

  26. Hey, Eric and everyone: It was really fun. Sorry I didn't comment before (it's Monday in Minneapolis, and I'm getting ready for work--yechh). The party formed a perfect ending note for my ten days in Paris. Thanks to Eric and Tomate Farci for getting everything together, and thank everyone else for your hospitality and welcome to an American whose French is embarrissingly bad. Au bientot, mes amis.
