Theme day: No!
Well, it's July 1st, and, as usual it's a theme day within the City Daily Photo community... Guess what, this month's theme is: "post a picture of a sign in your town that includes the text 'no'", like it's easy and/or photogenic?! I had to actually produce the photo(!) with a little help from 1) Aristide Maillol who sculpted these magnificent 3 nympheas, 2) Jacques Froissant, a famous French blogger who brought a piece of paper and a marker, 3) Alexis Hubeau for the art direction and... Laurence Thurion who gathered all these people - and many more - for a Champagne party (you get the picture now, right?! LOL!)

Too funny, Eric! and a lovely photo for our theme day. I suppose I was looking to see a red circle with a line through it kind of photo for today! Kudos!

OMG, I can't believe that I'm the first to comment, especially on theme day. Well, I know many folks will enjoy this lovely and fun take!

So, who inducts me into that exclusive club of GF? ;^) woo hoo!
ReplyDelete-Kim

How funny! Are the ladies saying, "No dancing?"
ReplyDeleteNo Pam, they are saying, "Where is MY glass of Champagne, Eric?"
ReplyDelete-Kim
OMG, that's an excellent production Eric!! Very clever!
ReplyDeleteSo can I picture it and guess that one of these beautiful nymphes is saying NO to YOU ??? Well, don't be silly Eric, such a thing could NOT happen ;).
You should have suggest a YES theme, it would have been cooler!
*suggested :s
ReplyDeleteVery very funny and well-done!
ReplyDeleteNo you didn't!
ReplyDeleteCongrats GF Kim!
Hi,
ReplyDeletehttp://dailyphoto.afyonblog.com
Great photo and very clever idea Eric! My screen colors are a bit wonky right now, and it looks great in blue and pink I'm stuck with.
ReplyDeleteBUT ERIC....you must tell me what is going on with the Eiffel Tower? It's all decorated for ...the 14th maybe?
Guille thanks for helping me out with my ET!(x3) the other day.
Well, a sign inserted in a sculpture's hand is better than using the marker on the sculpture, which happened on Galatea and Procris in the Medici fountain. I suppose it happens often. These Maillol figures seem to glow, like polished steel. By the way, how did you get a motorcycle into the Tuilleries gardens?
ReplyDeleteVery funny guys!
ReplyDeleteLeave it to you to come up with another new way to surprise us!
Very clever. I think the artistic director might need another glass of champagne! Love the nymphettes.
ReplyDeleteNo...clothes!
ReplyDeleteLovely production, Eric!
"Gather ye rosebuds while ye may, Old Time is still a-flying; And this same flower that smiles today, Tomorrow will be dying."
ReplyDeleteAs Robert Herrick suggests, and Eric's nymphs might remind us..."carpe" that "diem!" Perhaps, these three gals are those famous Hespirides named Aegle, Eritheia, and Hesperia...here to guard the Tree of Golden Apples[But where is it? Oh, yes, it's Paris of course!], but I see one that would "prefer not" to by that NO sign she clasps. There's always a Billy Budd in the crowd...ahem, but I digress. Or they could be Dionysian nymphettes waiting for Eric to pour them three glasses of Champagne. That's who they are...party crashing nymphs. They'll probably even get their own constellation one day. Geez!Anyway...Sante!
Guille...what's the good news Jeff mentioned? Curiosity is peaking!
That is awesome! And a bit hilarious.. did the champagne put you up to it...
ReplyDeleteGood article about some of the gardens in Paris- http://www.iht.com/articles/2008/06/30/travel/29gardens.php
Leave it to Eric to find the sexiest solution, one in which no is simply not acceptable. Make my champagne a double!
ReplyDeleteA very clear no. I expect to see many and varied, but sure this will be the only one of it's kind.
ReplyDeleteEric
ReplyDeleteYou excelled your creative self this time. By miles!!!
Coltrane_lives
The girls are no use to Eric. they come with a big "no" sign!
Hey Cali and Corinne!
Guille
Come on brat, spit it out!
Funny! Funny! Well, I guess the British have the Knights who say Nik and the French have the Nympheas who say No! What's the backstory here do you suppose?
ReplyDeleteHave another glass of bubbly, Eric, and keep us giggling! :)
Eric, very clever. The sign may say no, but the eyes, the eyes say yes (not to mention various other parts of the anatomy.)
ReplyDeleteClever and creative, but we'd expect nothing less from you :) I trust the party was fun LOL
ReplyDeleteEric -- checked out some of the other city daily blogs, and yours blows them all away by far (quelle surprise). Vraiment, tres bien fait!!
ReplyDeleteHahahaha!
ReplyDeleteYou had to get your own sign, didn't you! Wonderful!
Gold stars for originality! Nicely done.
ReplyDeleteSlinger - Daily Photos from the Twin Cities
And was there live music? Dancing?Hors d'oeuvres? More "yes" than "no"? :-)
ReplyDeleteFun pic -- looks like a great time.
Certainly not the most spontanous but definitively the most inventive and esthetic !
ReplyDeleteThose ladies are so attractive.
I cannot imagine that anyone would dare to send her a "No".
The only hing I can think about is that this NO is her results for the Baccalauréat and her friends are trying to cheer her up !!!
Clever and unusual idea. Really like it.
ReplyDeleteOooh, I had no idea we could make our own sign! Too late for me for this month's theme day. Next month...
ReplyDeleteSo are the picture's on Laurence Thurion's blog those of the aftermath of the party?
Very creative and pretty photo, Eric.
So Guille, what's up?
no no - o yes yes
ReplyDeleteSort of like the Burghers of Calais, only really, really, really different.
ReplyDeleteNow if your Quick Burger changed its name to Burgers of Calais, I'd eat there, no question.
Belle allégorie l'Irlande, la Pologne et l'Allemagne célébrant la Présidence "sarkozyste" de l'Europe !
ReplyDeleteEire, Poland, Germany welcome the French auropean coaching !
Tssss Jeff! ;)
ReplyDeleteI have no time to stay, but I wanted you to know that I passed my school year of Law! I passed my exams! Thanks for all your encouragements during the tough period I spent here, annoying you! :)
A creative NO! Must not be many "No" signs in Paris!
ReplyDeleteWell, Guille, let me be the first to say congratulations! Isn't that a great feeling? Now you must celebrate just a little. Enjoy!!
ReplyDeleteVery clever - if you can't find one, make one!! ;-)
ReplyDeleteGuille...a BIG HURRAY and CONGRATS!
ReplyDelete[I think I hear dancing in the streets]
Félicitations et un grand bravo, beuacoup de courage et d'obstination pour suivre un double cursus si j'ai bien compris...
ReplyDeleteD'autres résultats encore à venir ?
Ou totalement en vacances ?
guille, congratulations on passing your exams! Now I hope you can relax and enjoy the summer.
ReplyDeleteExcellent composition, Eric! You really set the standard by creating something less mundane than your typical "no" sign. Well done!
ReplyDeleteHappy Theme Day!
Congratulations to you, Guille! Hard work always pays off. You deserve a nice holiday now.
ReplyDeleteEric, you're a great man with a great idea! What else you can expect from you? Love it!
ReplyDeleteI see you've gone with one of my life mottos: "When all else fails fake it!" Great job!
ReplyDeleteBien fait, Guille! You should have been drinking some Champagne avec Eric et les nymphes!
ReplyDeleteHey, yours isn't boring like mine! Very clever!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations, Guille, esq.!
ReplyDeleteEric,
ReplyDeleteNO Cellulite!
Only you would come up with NYMPHS and CHAMPAGNE- Damn! Only in Paris......
Eric,
ReplyDeleteNO Cellulite!
Only you would come up with NYMPHS and CHAMPAGNE- Damn! Only in Paris......
Lol! no cellulite is great! Witty post for theme day! Have a nice one!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations Guille! Fantastic news but i must say i'm not surprised. By the way you get your results so quickly? Here we must wait months!

Работа ценится по результатам труда, а не по накопленной усталости! Работать нужно с умом, а не до ночи. Безделье мука, но не отдых. Труд - основа жизни. Работа, которую мы делаем охотно, исцеляет боли. Безделье гарантирует бедность. Без работы не любят сидеть даже те, кто не любят работать. Работа избавляет нас от трех великих зол: скуки, порока, нужды.
