Love is all playacting.
«— T’as d’beaux yeux, tu sais… — Embrassez-moi! — Nelly… — Embrasse-moi encore!» Marcel Carné, le Quai des brumes, Port Of Shadows, excerpt “– You know… you have beautiful eyes… – Kiss me!”)
Some famous movies quotes (Hôtel du Nord, la Belle et la Bête, A bout de souffle, les Tontons flingueurs, and so on). I found a couple of subtitled excerpts; oh, I do wanna see again Truffaut’s L’homme qui aimait les femmes, some street photography mood, in there).
Paris, quai de Seine, October 2012.
“Un baiser apaise la faim, la soif. On y dort. On y habite. On y oublie.” Jacques Audiberti.
(“A kiss takes one’s mind off the hunger, off the thirst. We sleep in it. We live in it. We forget everything in it.”)
Paris, quais de Seine, July 2012 (DSLR).
The Lock.
Paris, quais de Seine, July 2012.
Road(s) narrow(s). Reduce speed.
I still have fun with my DSLR own challenge…
Paris, pont au Change, July 9th, 2012.
Gay Pride scene and portraits (DSLR, 3/3, my last fav).
I do not know if it’s the same in all the countries which celebrate the Gay Pride, but this day is always full of tenderness in Paris. Hope you can see it.
Paris, June 30th, 2012.
Mouths story.
Paul asked for this pic, then this one’s for you, my buddy (you can see Paul’s work by clicking here).
I had told about a classic photo, and, well, we can also see it as a “classic Parisian lovers” pic. But feel free to see my humor a lil subversive.
Paris, Châtelet, June 8th, 2012.
Sortez couverts. (“Make sure you’re protected.”) Paris, Belleville, 9:30am, April 20th, 2012 (iPhone shot as usual, no treatment, no edit, no crop — for my friends who didn’t know in the early 80s).
La porte cochère blue. The blue door.
Paris, Saint-André-des-Arts, 1:26AM, March 24th, 2012.
SERIE: my “outtakes”, my “dismissed”.
On this day, 35 cities lived through the lens of street photographers during 24 hours. Pix will be posted soon on
«L’amour n’est pas un feu qu’on renferme en une âme,
Tout nous trahit, la voix, le silence, les yeux,
Et les feux mal couverts n’en éclatent que mieux.»Jean Racine
(“Love isn’t a fire we can contain in a soul: everything gives ourselves away, voice, silence, eyes. And badly banked up fires stand out even clearly.”)
Paris, subway, April 2012.
«Un front qui s’appuie
À moi dans la nuit,
Deux grands yeux ouverts
Et tout m’a semblé
Comme un champ de blé
Dans cet univers.»
Louis Aragon
(“A forehead which leans on me at night, two big opened eyes, and everything seemed to me as a wheatfield in this universe.”)
Paris, place de la Bataille-de-Stalingrad, march 23d, 23:53PM, 2012.
