Very artsy Dive! I love the street shot from above. And lets be honest ladies, who HASN'T slipped up and forgotten their shirt and then realized you DID in fact have your scarf on so....wallah! ;)
And, you never really hear of people adopting from underfunded Parisian orphanages. Now it all makes sense seeing the babies on display like that. Poor ugly things.
That last one is a nice happy shot. Glad you had a visit with your sweetie.
Thanks, Shan! Those babies are creepy; even more unsettling than Jesus and the six (six?) dwarves. I do approve, however, of the latest women's fashions on those mannequins!
The house sure is big and empty without Katie in it, though I'm just this minute waiting for her to get up and come on line for our first videochat since she went home. Woohoo!
Cali: my camera has a crap lens; you should see the ones Katie took with her real zoom. Woohoo! Watching the traffic from the top of the Arc de Triomphe was great fun. Sheesh! Total chaos! It's a wonder any car survives a week there.
Katherine: Not so much a conceptual piece as a complete fluke, but I do like the result, especially the creepy way they are rummaging around in that poor woman's head.
Amazing and Fun Photos! Faves are the man on the bench, the silhouetted action figures and those women picking out the brains of that poor passerby. What is it about naked dolls? I did a painting series on some of these in college and it creeped everyone out. Did you ever see actual women dressed like those mannequins? And last but certainly not least, you and Katie!
Intriguing photos -- and a little creepy, like the doll babies and the figures. Looks like you had such fun in Paris! As others have said, the last photo is a gem.
BTW my WV is goningis -- sounds like some kind of dental disease...
Aahhh ... how could they not be smitten with each other? Apart from everything else, they are almost the same height which is going to make me look like such a short ass (arse) when I'm standing next to Katie next week. :)

Great pics, Dive! You seem to have been drawn to figure models! Aren't they odd! Nice pic of the two of you :)
I, of course, like the last photo best. xx
Thanks, Lynn. We did find some very odd stuff in Parisian shop windows. No doubt Katie will post more of it.
Mum: Me, too.
xx

Woohoo!
Your camera has a powerful lens. The shot from the Arc de Triomphe is cool! The C-E really is a parking lot!
Will that last photo be featured on the holiday cards you don't send out? :D
Of course that last one is cool, but so is the second-to-last. Really neat conceptual piece.

Holiday cards? You're right; I don't send 'em out. Hee hee.

The old man reading the newspaper might be my favorite here, but the first one could be a painting—a Georges Seurat.
People in Paris do love their parks, Robyn. The one at the top (Place des Vosges) is a rarity in that you are actually allowed to sit on the grass.

I really like the photo of the news woman. I wonder what breaking news they were about to report?!
Neetzy: What is it about naked dolls? Hee hee. I think the dolls are only creepy because they've got kind of adult faces on them. Brr.
As for the mannequins, we found lots of fashions in Paris shop windows that we have yet to see on the streets; not least the display of paper undies.
Ms. M: Hee hee for the dental disease.
We did indeed have lots of fun and I fell completely in love with Paris.
Katie: I think they were just going down the street to Stohrer to report on the yumminess of the cakes (photos of which I may well post soon).
Are you smitten with Paris, too, now, Dive?
Yup. Katie and Paris both. I'm a hopeless case and very happy about it.
Aahhh ... how could they not be smitten with each other? Apart from everything else, they are almost the same height which is going to make me look like such a short ass (arse) when I'm standing next to Katie next week. :)
Such a sweet comment, Dive.
You'll be standing next to Katie next week, Mme B? How lovely for the both of you! Where will you be standing, may I ask?
