St. Malo France 1994

Leaving the port of St. Malo deck top view from the archives.

Arch de Triomphe Visage

Was under the Arch de Triomphe one evening and caught the light just right.  Decide to take some close ups.  This one in on the inside just below the roof terrace.  Somehow this face matches the mood of post-election France.

Paris Meeting

On the Rue de Rosiers in front of the L’Aus du Falafel on a Sunday morning there are thousands of people walking around.  In the middle of all this there was this woman (Eastern European?) asking for change to be placed in her small paper espresso cup.  Most people avoid all eye contact but this older man decided to stop, face the woman, and look her straight in the face.  They got into a short debate but the lady just kept smirking insisting he put some money in her cup.  I kept wondering what he was thinking at this moment.

CDG Airport Walk

Love this corridor in the Paris airport.  It’s looks like some internal launch tube on the Death Star or something….

Paris Metro Concorde

 

Hôtel du Louvre

Walking from Place Vendome to the Opera and back down to Louvre came into the view of the Hôtel du Louvre and popped this shot with the Parisien taxi.

Mont Saint-Michel 1994

Was leading tours criss-crossing Europe in the Summer of 1994 and took a jaunt up to Mont Saint-Michel in low tide.  Feels like a million years ago and this picture is a part of my archive collection now.

The Bad Trip Crew Paris

At the top of the Champs-Elysees I ran into a crowd watching a group of street performers.  They were doing their thing to some 80′s beats.  Shot this photo because I thought the name of the group was great.  They were full of their bad-selves.

Paris Street Sign

Humor is all around.

Sign in front of the Opera Paris

I was walking around the Place de l’Opéra where this sign had been posted to the lamp post.  Apparently somebody isn’t on board with the national motto of France.
