I very rarely showed you the mayor of Paris for I thought you probably weren't that much interested in French (local) politics, but for once I'll make an exception. First because, he was this morning at
Place de la République for its reopening (it's been totally renovated, I'll show it to you later...) - he's the man in the grey suit shaking hands (he a politician, remember?) - and because he'll leave his office next year which gives way to a n
ew race between two - or three - female candidates (and if you want to know how I took this photo, visit
my Facebook wall!)
Do you know what Bertrand will do when he is out of office?
ReplyDeleteNo, not really. Maybe enter the government. Or... retire!
DeleteI kind of like Delanoë, but it could be interesting to have a mayor who's woman. (And this shot is terrific—you are quite the photojournalist, mon ami!
ReplyDeleteFantastic shot, Eric! I'm off to your Facebook page to see how you did it. I'm blown away.
ReplyDeleteI hope that the 'new' Place da la Republique is as good as the plans looked (not always the case)
ReplyDeleteYou have a little jet pack attached to your back haven't you?
I so wish!! (That I had a jet pack!)
DeleteEven after looking at your Facebook page, Eric, I still need another clue. Please!
ReplyDeleteLOL. Why? Did you see my camera on top of the stand?!
DeleteI think this is what Eric is referring to from Facebook: http://sphotos-h.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-frc3/983582_10151627584963346_1875878465_n.jpg
ReplyDeleteI love these overhead shots for a change. The ground level was getting kind of dirty :-)
Our Mayor, Martina probably doesn't have to shake as many hands as the Mayor of Paris. Oh, and I don't use Facebook.
