I recall sauntering down a street in Paris attempting to take in all the sites and beauty the city has to offer. Paris is arguably one of the most beautiful cities in the world yet it is also obscure and unusual and interesting in a quirky sort of way. I am afraid the quirky side of Paris probably doesn’t get enough credit. I love this photo and love this building. If you walk by too fast you will never notice. But, if you stop and look at it a little closer you will see everything is crooked. I just love it. I think this business has a ton of personality and I am glad it stopped me in my tracks.
If you look close you can see my reflection in the window and Eric attempting to be patient with my obsessive photo taking…
I can see why you love the building, one of a kind. Great picture.

Rue Saint-Paul. Le Marais. Indeed everything askew. Most of the buildings there are so.
(It is one of the oldest standing parts of Paris)
I now understand why you were intrigued at the things I “saw” in DC. “Beauty lies in the eye…” (I think you said that in another post. What you see also tells about who you are. The things that catch your eye reveal a lot about you.
I’ve always thought a painting tells us what was in the painter’s head. Think what was in Jackson Pollpck’s head! This picture of Rue St-Paul comes to us through your eyes, it’s been inside your head.
Tells us (a bit) more about you. (With or without the reflection)
Be good. Keep shooting. Houses, please, not people.

I can only imagine what will come out of my camera in the future if I am lucky enough to keep traveling.
I couldn’t agree more. I think it does say a lot about people in what they chose to write about or photograph or visit. Probably part of the reason why it is fun to follow people’s blogs and see what they are all about.
