Paris: Architecture, Cirque, Pompidou, Grafitti & C215!

As promised here are some more pics of my trip. Since there are so many images (I travel with a 2gig memory photo card) I am seriously editing, yet still finding it difficult to jump to our next destination without thoroughly doing each city artistic justice. So sit back and enjoy the trip!
Gregg and my shadow - I find shadow pics quite fascinating and such ephemeral stains of our existence and presence.
Check out the most romantic Parisian window.
And of course phenomenal architecture.
Above - I love their faces...especially the somber one on the far left. Below- these performers were in front of the Pompidou (Paris' modern & contemporary art museum).

C215 is a graffiti artist Gregg and I have been following, we have seen his art in NYC. He is a an exceptional stencil artist and we recently learned he is based in France! Our students have made stencil projects inspired by C215!
I thought the pic I took above juxtaposed the C215 image well & the word 'plan' above her. She also reminded me of a B&W pic I took years ago of some homeless women across the street from the Louvre (which is still one of our future destinations!). So stay tuned for some Notre Dame Cathedral, macaroons, postcards, and more art next time! And as usual leave me a comment and let me know what you think of your trip tic so far!!!

i loveeee the architecture pictures. The performers are also really cool, and the graffiti is amazingggg.
and i win "stainboy" because you are too busy eating lunch. hah!
This is great. And thorough is good. Who’s in a hurry?
Blue filter on Le Pont Alexandre III cherubs? Translated, means big sigh if you’ve studied photography and have nice equipment. I used to, but I guess it didn’t stick and now I’m point and click!
Loved the Roxanne window, but my absolute hands-down favorite this post was the graffiti! I’m in awe of good graffiti. Makes sense, since I’m also transfixed by tattoos, which is along the same lines (blaring pun intended), the supposed defacement of something supposedly sacred. Translated, means in my world it’s all art and all beautiful in some way and rebellion is good! =:-D
right on missalister!!! about art and life and grafitti and sacredness...this photos stir up the best memories, of a chilly breeze, warm hands from a well placed crepe! and great art, mostly not in the museums....i love marisol!!!! this blog warms the essence of my soul. tell your neighbors, friends, family, strange people you meet on the street. people stuck in cubicles need to avoid work by visiting this blog!!!!!
ms. diaz, i love seeing both your & mr. emery's beautiful work. i look forward to seeing more memories of your trip... your posts are always inspirational! i will be sending you an email soon. -c. (it is a mystery!)
