A message for you...


Here is my message to you all! It's a shop window of Franck & Fils (a very traditional department store) I noticed a couple of days ago while I was going to my niece's near La Muette. Only, exceptionally I did not have my camera with me. So tonight, when I left the office I went all the way to rue de Passy, waited for someone to pass by the window and took this shot. Don't ask me why they used Love and not amour though! Anyway, my dear visitors, let me wish you all a happy Valentines day ;)

  4. Il y a donc une mise en scène?? ;)

    Very nice picture. It's a relatively sober one for Valentines day, which is a good idea, I'm little fed up with all this pink hearts and ribbons, too kitsch for me!

    So,happy Valentines day.

  5. A gorgeous shot, Eric. It was so worth waiting for someone to walk past and what a great silhouette she happened to make! Wonderful.

  6. Happy Valentine's Day, Eric! You are such a pro - I thought the silhouette was part of the display, not a real person!! Perfect! Thanks also for going all the way back there just for your PDP fans!

  10. Like Monica and anonyme, while I wait for PDP to load I anticipate what Eric's surprise will be. How do you do it, Eric? Most days, you dazzle. Today is no exception.

    I thought the same, pont girl. The silhouette seemed part of the display.

    I wish love and happiness to you all, wherever you may be.

  11. We love you too Eric. Why? Because only you would go to all this trouble to bring us this photo with this message. Happy Valentines Day.

    Anonyme and Petrea: glad we agree on something!

  17. Beautiful Eric, thanks for going to the trouble.

    Franck & Fils is a thrilling shop and rue de Passy is the place I tell everyone to start their Paris retail experience.

  18. Provided you aren't without money, a home or food, it's all you need, really.

  19. There's nothing you do that can't be done.
    Nothing you can sing that can't be sung.
    Nothing you can say but you can learn how to play the game.
    It's easy....(tubas, please)
    All you need is love.
    All you need is love.
    All you need is love, love.
    Love is all you need.

    Oui, Lucio Crispino. Now, I may lack love, but I am fed.

    A very nice photo, mon ami Eric. All my best to you.

    ReplyDelete
  20. And a happy Valentines to you too, Eric. A lovely photo - you snapped the passer by at the perfect moment.

    I left a hearfelt thankyou to you on Menton Daily Photo's first anniversary - 7th February.

    And happy Valentine's Day to you, and all your fans.

  22. Is a photo of Anne something new? Anne's photo: woo woo!

    At first I thought the "O" in "LOVE" was an outsized platinum-with-diamonds ring (nothing says "true love" like tons of money; at least in my case, as recipient; ha ha) but then I noticed the white fluffy stuff. Could it be a dozing lab rat?

    ReplyDelete
  23. Oh, my darling...
    That blog was dedicated to me, wasn't it?
    I was expecting you would do something special on our day but this is so lovely...
    You forgot to say "I love you Anne" but never mind...

    Tall Gary, the other Anne is not Eric's Anne.

    ReplyDelete
  24. Ah, Anne i now see the reason for your fierce competition. Quite right too. You are the real amour d'Eric! This is fab news but can we see you in a little more detail than a silhouette?

    ReplyDelete
  25. Ah, Lynn, I wish!
    Eric has so far decline to acknowledge my love for him. So, in truth, he is my real amour not the other way around.
    But don't you worry, I have my plans for Eric, wait until that picnic!
    Are you going?

    ReplyDelete
  26. he he Anne that's an enticement for me to attend, if ever i heard of one. If i can get the time off i shall try to be there. I'm looking for new work right now, so it depends what's happening then. I really want to.

  27. I don't appear to be on City Daily Photo anymore! Waaaaahhh! I feel a tantrum coming on...

  30. Belle photo, Eric!

    Bibi's coming to Paris tomorrow, camera in hand as usual, so Parisians, be on the lookout for her!

    ReplyDelete
  31. Thank you so much, Eric! Your enchanting photographs of Parisian life provide a daily Valentine for us all.

    ReplyDelete
  32. Very special! Well worth the return trip. Thank you for your
    efforts.

    ReplyDelete
  33. Lucio Crispino, you said it exactly. Love isn't ALL you need.

    ReplyDelete
  34. A lovely photo Eric. :) Many a man might be envious of you today, for all who love you here. ;)

    Wishing Everyone a Joyous, Loving, Chocolate Intoxicating and Wine Inducing Passion filled Valentines Day! (although, mine will be dedicated to writing my dissertation)

    ReplyDelete
  35. Ah Eric. You never cease to surprise and delight. Thank you. Happy Valentine's Day to you.

    ReplyDelete
  36. As I didn't tell it before, happy Valentine's Day to you Eric!!

    I would like your Valentine to know how lucky she is to have such a 'gentleman' with her.

    That is surely not Lynn, Monica, Petrea etc, who would say the contrary (and neither many other fans, too long list!).

    Thank you for all!

    ReplyDelete
  37. Good question! French is still spoken in Paris, is it not? LOL!!
    Happy Valentine's Day!

    ReplyDelete
  38. Oh, anonyme, I must clarify. Although I'm one of Eric's biggest fans, I'm not in competition for his heart. My heart belongs to my treasure of a husband, the man of my dreams.

    However, I may one day enter the competition to be first on the blog, so watch out.

    ReplyDelete
  39. Ooops, sorry Petrea...
    I didn't mean any competition at all... I am confused.

    ReplyDelete
  40. he he heeee, Petra, get in line! You must make a comment about the picture, according to the unwritten rules set by Lynn, the current winner and first champion. Spelling won't count.
    Be assured,
    Eric will be mischievous with his posting times, tho he hasn't admitted to a thing.
    P.S. I wound up being anonymous up there on the first post, as I still can't figure out how to post my name on this new identity choice. Here goes...

    ReplyDelete
  41. Rules set by Lynn? Moi? ... snigger. Eric writes the rules here, i merely threw down the gauntlet - oh and i won this time he he!

    ReplyDelete
  42. Yes anonyme but you see, even though Lynn and I are merely virtual candidates to Eric's heart (with all due respect for Eric's real life copine), no matter what, he will always be in OUR hearts. We might be engaged, married or dating someone else, Eric will always be the gentleman of our dreams!

    Am I right Lynn?!

    ReplyDelete
  43. Perfectly said Monica. I agree!

    ReplyDelete
  44. all we need is love, chocolate and wine.... great photo eric.

    ReplyDelete
  45. Hey Eric, Thanks for bringing us back to our old stomping grounds in Paris. This department store is quite the fixture in the Passy neighborhood. This photo was well worth the return trip. Thanks for all the advice on the Munich Daily Photo blog too. It's been a big help. All the best.

  46. Warming, haunting, sublime, timeless,classical, beautiful...

    ReplyDelete
  47. Well..Eric...j'ai aime tous les photos en general...
    celle-ci me presente vraiment Paris...Paris, pour moi, est tres froid sans amour....sans amis...
    Cette femme me ressemble en qq sorte..elle passe "devant" l'amour " LOVE" , mais jamais "dedans"....

    ReplyDelete
  48. Oh, this is making me miss Paris so much. For almost one year I lived very near this Frank & Fils and loved to see their displays. Thank you more taking this picture.

  57. The idea behind this article is excellent, and for me the first item ("Create your own damn content!") is the real gem here: most of the people spend their entire lives only consuming what is created by others, and creating nothing themselves--or never sharing what they create, which is better than not creating at all, though not the best they could do.

  58. There are may person searching about that now they will find enough resources by your post.I like this blog..
