Rue Norvins

10/13/11 - Week 41
Using this shot for this week's Project52 "Hipshot" theme was inspired by the ShutterSalt theme of "Intersections."  An unobtrusive shot with the P&S while hanging out on the street corner.  Taken in the Montmartre section of Paris on 9/20/11.

Monsieur Violin

Via Flickr:
Lin and I were strolling through the Marais, along tight streets and beneath arcades where sounds are amplified in volume and richness. I heard violin notes in the distance and as we got closer, the music became more engaging. We passed by the arcade, into a wonderful square called Place des Vosges. Despite the activity in the square, the violin resonated.

I approached him and listened for a while longer, pointed to my camera and he nodded. I asked his name but his accent was thick and I did not catch it. After placing a 2 euro coin into his case, I returned to the square and we continued our stroll.

The street music is different and wonderful in Paris.

Can't go a week of posting pics of Paris without this one. We're staying just a block from here and I shot this on the way home from dinner.

Compared to the heaviness of Notre Dame, the lightness of Sainte-Chapelle's stained glass was amazing. This is NOT SymmetriCam; rather my 10mm-20mm wide angle shot from a low perspective.

Paris or Vegas?

Last year when I had a similar shot with the same title, the answer was Vegas? Not this time.
