Since everybody has different tastes, I think the new people coming in on the every other week (the week I'm not there) then they can clean up after me and stock up the frigo.

In the summer, I loved to walk along the Seine to pick inside those beautiful apartments. <BR/>The best way to get to visit some of them is to follow the artists route that some boroughs organize some week-ends.Lezardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03516308992472683773noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11471590.post-27068448853954155952008-01-08T18:04:00.000+01:002008-01-08T18:04:00.000+01:00Even Los Angeles may have a few of these in the gr...Even Los Angeles may have a few of these in the grungy areas south of downtown.

Typically they're found in older commercial districts that have been run down but have avoided 'slum clearance' and now maybe undergoing revitalization. While they were artists spaces, often they were for commercial artists, graphic designers and such. <BR/><BR/>That they still are common in Paris is a tribute to how frequently the space was built and that Paris has avoided the wholesale eradication of the past for the new.Jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04533925704547098316noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11471590.post-16104779088837464382008-01-08T12:29:00.000+01:002008-01-08T12:29:00.000+01:00Michael that's brilliant!

At first I was wondering if that was someone posing for a portrait in the upper right window but then realized it would be too cold and dark by the window. It might not even be a person there.<BR/><BR/>I was impressed to see so many people in Paris sketching: in parks, at monuments; oh, kind of like PDP—where there was something worth seeing, capturing, creating with, and sharing. <BR/><BR/>It is good to see the appreciation for art that exists in Paris.Tall Garyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18130518604439054014noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11471590.post-52858799736005108592008-01-08T02:35:00.000+01:002008-01-08T02:35:00.000+01:00Very beautiful shot Eric.
