PARIS 2005 pt1 (656kb)

[wendellt]

Hi everyone

end of last year I finally got to travel after a long year. I bought my D2X specificially for my ongoing personal project to shoot Paris my way, it's such a lovely place and i have longed to visit it again. I consider this series 'MY ART' with no commercial contraints or pressures just wondering around in my own time with my camera and vision of Paris. It was very cold and most of the time it was overcast and snowing but in almost a month i got 4 gorgeous sunny days and life was beautiful.

Part 1

picture perfect apartments along ile de la cite


Fountain at Jardin des Tuileries


Concentric fun at Place de la Concorde

Hi Wendell
A great series of pix - thanx very much for showing them to us.

Lovely photos Wendell. I really like the 'smarataine' one with the lone figure. It just appeals to me.

Awesome memories no doubt.....

Actually the more I look at "exit to Rue de Rivolli" the more I like it the most.

but all you pics are fantastic Wendell.

Gorgeous pics Wendell, as per usual! Reminds me I seriously need to get in and PP my pics from Paris last year! You've certainly captured the essence of Paris in Winter, looks very stark and cold, but at the end of the day you're still in Paris! I don't think I'll ever tire of going to Paris!

Exquiste stuff Wendell, I saw these last night but it was well past my bed time, they are even better a second time round! Look forward to more shots when you get the time.

Great photos Wendell,

I've been waiting to see your Paris photos. Love them all, it's hard to pick but I line the one along the Seine near Pont Neuf and the exit to Rue Rivolli

Hope to be there in Sept , but most time will be spent en Bourgogne et Alsace, but will have a few days in Paris.

thanks for sharing,

André

Wonderful pictures, Wendell! I especially love the Pont Alexandre III picture - nice timing to get the pigeon in the shot!

Looking forward to Parts II ++
