OOH LA LA!

“You’ll have to fall in love at least once in your life, or Paris has failed to rub off on you.

E.A Bucchianeri, Brushstrokes of a Gadfly.

You never have to ask me twice.

Paris inspires and that’s exactly what I needed.

Inspiration.

Even though we had to work, sharing ideas takes another groove when it’s with a view of the Eiffel tower, a bottle of red & the bistro buzz on the terraces you can only find in la ville lumiere.

There is something intoxicating about Paris and her medieval streets, her grand boulevards & majestic trees. Her alluring galleries, angelic theaters and the statuesque buildings that breathe history upon you.

The city of light where the stylish Parisienne’s & the elegant Frenchmen make for a perfect cosmopolitan atmosphere that implies you are living the Truffaut days all over again.

But besides all its beauty my eyes still wander towards the unusual.

I planned on photographing the city when she was still trying to wake up but the weather got in the way, so instead I clicked through my odd eyes in search of a creative spark.

At the end of my days in Paris I quickly showed my pictures to a friend, she comically replied:

“Were we on the same trip?”

If you love Paris she will love you back.

Spiritual effort.

She knows she has my heart.

  2. Helemaal waar. Parijs blijft Parijs.Ik kwam tijd te kort, in de jaren
    dat wij daar gewoond hebben.De stad blijft je fascineren.
    Mooie foto’s en zo goed omschreven, Nicole ik kan het niet genoeg
    zeggen. Ik ben trots op je.

    Op deze dag in 1889 werd de Eiffeltoren geopend. Enkele jaren later vloog #DeGevleugelde er omheen. Meer weten over de hoofdpersoon van mijn volgende roman? Volg De Gevleugelde alvast op Facebook.Posted by Arthur Japin on woensdag 6 mei 2015
