Lion laying on the streets of Paris

On my adventures through the streets of Paris last night I came across this photo.
It was on the sidewalk sporting some gravel indentations.
It is real photo paper...and yes, that is a real lion.
(click on the photo and you can see it bigger)
I hope you enjoy this discovery as much as me!
It's the little things :)

Peace

For the first time in Paris, I feel completely at ease.
I've found the rhythm I expected of the City of Love.
Inopportunely at the end of a tiresome struggle
and just before my time here is over.
I'll take it.
Off to photograph a hidden joy of Paris.
Shown to me by another hidden joy of Paris.
I will return.
With photos.

Toast There

This is where I go when I dream. This is as every shoot approaches me. This is my happy place.
TOAST clothing and home decor is my new crush.
I'm going to leave my apartment now. And go see the world with this ease for a while.
When I return. You shall have a little more Paris.
Bisous

Quai de la Seine

The view from my new hangout.
This view, free Wifi, fantastic staff and coffee with a little complimentary "Love" ginger cookie.
Heaven.

Weddings, weddings, weddings...and awkwardness

All my pals are gettin' married! As I'm looking at a future venue and my morning blogs, I was also looking at Awkward Family Photos...I would not suggest this unless you want everything to start looking awkward :)
These two were from traditional wedding sites...

my first thought was...is that a coffin?
(Ryan Browne Weddings)


Umm...where are their bodies?
(Dreamtime images- which is actually a fabulous wedding photography site)

Some true winners from Awkward Family Photos....

And now a love song...

Happy Saturday!

The full green cape in Le Bois

Marina was a good sport. We met at 7 am at the entrance of the woods. I was praying for fog but the forecast disappointed. In light of no fog, however, it was surprisingly warm and we got an hour or so in before she had to run off to school. Good jog of a shoot, just to keep the photographic blood flowing. Hope you enjoy!

Satorialist Strikes again!

I check Scott Schuman's blog everyday. He's a great spirit to follow along with. This little chickadee is from one of his jaunts through London.
A bientot!

Killer! Hand painted! Check Rob's site. He's a keeper.
And I'm a particular fan of the white tires, though Rob has nothing to do with those.
Just super cool kids.
