pretty city, paris 2012: bright encounter, in nouvelle athens
skies were grim in paris on the morning i took to the streets of the 9th arrondissement.
then i encountered this young family, holding hands while walking la rue.
believe it or not, the sun broke through--if only for a few minutes--shortly after they let me make a photo...
(LOVE)

pretty city, paris 2012: sweet stuff on la rue de babylone
how much do i love this couple?
note:
her dress, with cupcakes and tarts
her patterned tights and trimmed shoes
her lipstick (perfect, pink)
his cool kicks and button-fly
best of all: their sweet smiles

read a good poem: what we want
i liked everything about her: the pose, the patterns...
and: i hope you like this poem (it took a lot of reading to find this one tonight)
What we want
is never simple.
We move among the things
we thought we wanted:
a face, a room, an open book
and these things bear our names--
now they want us.
But what we want appears
in dreams, wearing disguises.
We fall past,
holding out our arms
and in the morning
our arms ache.
We don't remember the dream,
but the dream remembers us.
It is there all day
as an animal is there
under the table,
as the stars are there
even in full sun.
union square, nyc.

paris postcard: lefty style
a trio of favorites from the left bank:
matchy-matchy is really such a no-no. but somehow these frenchies really pull it off...adorable
outside the bon marche...a girl with a flower in her hair and a brownie in her hand? perfect.

paris postcard: everyday clothes, st germain style
there were times during this vacation when i just wanted to park myself on one street corner and shoot "style."
fantastic french style would come at me all day long, but i was so often moving in the opposite direction...
this isn't really a lament--i love that there's still so much for me to discover in paris. it just means that what i'm posting here now is only one small sample of how the parisians dress for the spring sun....

blue-la-la
le bag...
la ring...everything she's got, really
her smile
her belted blue...

the color purple
i really liked this shot for the coca cola, too. i drink it rarely myself--when i do, it's also "regular," in a can. i just love to see people enjoying coca-cola all over the world...

cool darks

and...uh-oh...
