Re: Paris

[Rick Womer]

Stan, I now have a surge protector / uninterruptible power supply for my 
computer, and a surge protector for our mini split AC/heating system (whose 
board also got toasted). Alas our electrician fell ill and went out of 
business, and we haven’t identified another one yet to put in a surge protector 
for the rest of the house.

A long delayed OT comment re your power surge and related computer issues…

Several years ago our trusted local electrician installed a whole-house surge 
protector. A relatively small attachment on the main panel. I think it has 
worked properly, we’ve had no issues even when neighbors were having storm 
surge problems.

Nice collection.

Rue du Bac... When I lived in Paris, the line through the tunnel to the 
other bank of the Seine still had the early 1900s Sprague-Thomson 
rolling stock and the drivers loved to accelerate to the max on the way 
down. Hell on wheels... :-)

Nice set Bob! Makes me feel like I was just there!

Well, actually, I was just there. I’ll post that in a bit.

But in your set, I particularly like #14 and #17. Thanks for sharing.

Re: Paris

[Bob Pdml]

Thanks. 

She looks mighty yar - I look forward to comin' aboard and splicing the 
mainbrace sometime, me hearty!

Although I could retire now I want to sell my house first and do it all at 
once. I put it on the market earlier this year, but took it off again. I'll put 
it up for sale again in the New Year and hopefully it will sell. I've moved 
away from the idea of living in Paris to having a place over here on the South 
coast and a place in Avignon, and splitting my time between them. The place in 
France will have to wait until the exchange rate has improved though. Living in 
Paris would not be different enough from living in London, and the pollution is 
worse, although I really like being there and want to spend more time there. 
Avignon is superb, ticks all my boxes.

Heave away! Haul away!

Fantastic gallery Bob - love that pic of you and old Bonypart.

Are you any closer to realising your retirement wish of living there?

Yesterday, after months of searching, I've put a deposit down on a boat! 
It's a 33 foot sailing yacht of 1970s vintage and in great condition with 
just a few things that need doing - enough to keep me in fettling mode for 
a few months. She's called 'Hermione' and will be based in the Solent for 
a while until we decide where/when we're heading, possibly southwest but 
TBA.


Should be up and running for next spring/summer so hopefully some photo

On the Pont des Arts they have replaced the lovely metalwork with glass/perspex 
panels after part of the bridge fell (or was it pushed?) into the river under 
the weight. On one of the other bridges they use metal rods, which the 
authorities regularly remove and then slide all the locks into a big bucket.

Other cities get more than their fair share, as well. This is our main
railway bridge across the Rhine. The city authorities estimate there are
about 50 tons of them at any time. They regularly remove them but
they're back almost overnight.

Re: Paris

That object is the remains of the suitcase that Cartier-Bresson took with him 
to China in 1948 or 58. It’s on display in the window of the exhibition. 

Apparently it was found in a bin somewhere.

I love the set, but particularly 11, 13 and 17.  11 is a
particularly interesting object;  how did you find it?

That's what one gets for clicking on links before reading the whole
message. Spent several minutes trying to make out where in Paris this
would have been...

A beautiful series. Much appreciated.

They're not photography friends, so the pictures were taken in a rush, and in 
mainly touristy spots because two of the people are not very familiar with 
Paris. One photo thing I did manage to do was visit the excellent HCB in China 
exhibition at the Fondation Henri Cartier-Bresson - well worth a visit.

If you squint you may spot the PDML's favourite bird having a good squawk.

Re: Paris through Pentax 67 viewfinder

[Zos Xavius]

As badly as I want a 6x7, the thought of buying film and having it
developed is a bit discouraging. There's too much dust here to
contemplate hanging rolls to dry. If I had more disposable income I
would be shooting film a lot more. I'm almost afraid to buy more rolls
because it becomes kind of addicting.

I got back yesterday from a few days in Paris. I'd planned to cycle there

walk, but somehow I managed to hobble around. Not exactly the flaneur of

I stayed in a flat about midway between Montparnasse and Barbes, which are
areas I didn't previously know particularly well, but are very interesting.

Unfortunately I never quite got into the photographic groove, partly because
every step was agony, but here are some photos, mainly Atmosphere!

Fantastic set, Bob.  I might even go to Paris some day.

I share a little of your pain, having injured one of my heels while running the 
other day.  By the time I'd pedalled out to see the podiatrist, then walked 
around the block because I'd arrived early, it had warmed up enough that she 
couldn't prod it enough to make it hurt.  Of course, it started hurting again 
after I arrived home.

Re: Paris

Nicely done, Bob! An excellent set of photos—I can feel Paris looking
at them. Everyone else who's responded have already mentioned my
favorites, but they're all darn good.

Sorry to hear about your foot, painful and it must have slowed you
down a lot, but perhaps being slowed down like that gave your eye more
time to see even if your impression was that you didn't get into the
groove.

Lovelly stuff. Very enjoyable.

Also, I think the Flaneur of Normal sounds like some kind of
lesser-known aristocratic title. You should adopt it. You could be
Lord Walkden, the Flaneur of Normal.

thanks - that's what I hope for.

 to the grand sights, but it seems you wandered far beyond the
 boundaries your ankle would have set
 

Paris intramuros - that is, the 20 arrondissements - is very small, and it's
very easy to get about quickly using the 'grands axes', the boulevards and
large avenues. The secret of knowing Paris, indeed any city, is to
understand how they relate to each other, and to learn the twiddly bits in
between. It's only by walking or cycling that you can really learn a city,
in my view.

I'm not familiar with the rue Beaunier, although my map tells me it's quite
close to the Parc Montsouris, which I visited on Thursday and which is one
of my favourite parts of Paris. Indeed, if I retire to Paris when the time
comes that is the likeliest area for me to look for somewhere to live.
That's the South-East part of Paris, whereas I was more North Central, other
side of the river.

This was my approximate route from the apartment on the Wednesday - further
than I thought or planned. It took a very long time to hobble all that way,
I can assure you:
http://www.gmap-pedometer.com/?zoom_level=12submit=go

I walked a similar distance on Tuesday, far less on Thursday when I passed
right by rue Beaunier on my way to the park from the Villa Seurat, where
Henry Miller and Anais Nin used to live. Looking at these hobbles - I won't
dignify them by calling them walks - I'm not surprised my ankle isn't
getting any better.

Subject: Paris

I got back yesterday from a few days in Paris. I'd planned to cycle there and 
back, but an
ankle injury put paid to that idea. I can still barely walk, but somehow I 
managed to
hobble around. Not exactly the flaneur of normal, but still.

I stayed in a flat about midway between Montparnasse and Barbes, which are 
areas I didn't
previously know particularly well, but are very interesting.

Unfortunately I never quite got into the photographic groove, partly because 
every step
was agony, but here are some photos, mainly Atmosphere!
Atmosphere! as Arletty would say...

Cotty, you have such good taste!

That was in my top 3 or 4 group from Bob's gallery...
I might have commented sooner but between real life and my inability to 
decide favorites I ducked the assignment :-)


also 1, 7, 11

clearly, I favor the BW BWs

I doubt it's as much of a safety issue as a what does it cost to replace all 
the engines and leading edges on all our planes after we run them through 
nature's great sandblaster issue.

They'd just about be better off handing out a 645D to each passenger.

Re: Paris

[Paul Sorenson]

It can be a safety issue too.  The ash is fine as talc.  Heard an 
interview on NPR yesterday with a retired British Airways captain. 
Flying a route near Indonesia several decades ago in a 747.  Dark night, 
no moon, flew into an ash cloud at 30 some thousand feet.  All four 
engines quit - the crew finally got them restarted decending though 
12,000 ft.

Re: Paris

If it's the same incident that I heard about, all four engines were 
ruined.  Replace not repair.  Anyone who used an air breathing engine 
down wind after the Mt. St Helens eruption was in the same position.

Bob,
Like Cotty says, a good series with some great individual photos (I
stopped at the same ones).
The series is well put together.  The photos hang together with
similarities but moved as well.
That looks effortless, but I know it's not!  Fine work.
Regrds,  Bob S.

RE: Paris

[Bob W]

Thank you very much - I'm very flattered - and to everyone else who has
commented. 

I love Paris - it's the city I know best after London although there is
still a lot more I want to understand. For instance, it was only while I was
there this week that I learned about les grisettes (hence the photo of the
statue!) and the significance of 1830. 

Paris is as interesting as London for me, but I haven't spent enough time
there yet fully to shake off the photo cliches and find my own voice. I hope
to do so of course, but I'm no Juan Buhler, and photographers such as Atget,
Brassai, Kertesz, Doisneau, Cartier-Bresson, Izis, Ronis, Erwitt and so on
are a hard act to follow!

Great series Bob - reinforces my love of Paris too, and the wish that I'll

Sounds like the old man who dies and asks to see God.  After being 
ushered before the allmighty, he says:


God,.I was a good man, a pious man, all I needed to was more money, to 
do more good works.  Though I prayed and prayed, why didn't you ever let 
me win the lottery, instead of all those sinners.


God gently replied: Murry, did you ever buy a ticket?


My favorite of all those stories is Mother Smith ...

The weather is bad; hard rain's a comin'. Two men drive up to Mother 
Smith's place in a pickup truck to find her in her rocker on the front 
porch.


Mother Smith! A hard rain's a fallin'. The weather-man says there's 
gonna be a flood. We come to take you to the higher ground.


Mother Smith replies, No. The Lord will provide. And she keeps right 
on a rockin'.


When the water gets up to the front porch, along comes a man in a rowboat.

Mother Smith! The rain's still comin' down and the weather-man says the 
flood is gonna just get deeper. I come to take you to the higher ground.


Mother Smith replies, I have faith in the Lord. He will provide. And 
she keeps right on a rockin'.


As the flood worsens, Mother Smith is forced up onto the roof, when 
along comes a man in a helicopter.


Mother Smith! That roof is soon going to be under water soon. Your 
house will be swept away. I've come to take you to the higher ground.


Mother Smith replies, My faith in the Lord is unwavering. He will be my 
higher ground.


Mother Smith drowns.

When she reaches heaven and faces the throne, she says, God, I kept my 
faith in you. Why didn't you save me?


God says, But Mother Smith, didn't I send two men in a pickup truck to 
take you to the higher ground? Didn't I send you a man in a row boat?


I even sent you a man in a helicopter. Three times I sent for you.

Why didn't you go with one of them?

Frank,

I have more practical reasons for hating contests: I never win, even
though my entry is always clearly the best.

Sounds like the old man who dies and asks to see God.  After being 
ushered before the allmighty, he says:


God,.I was a good man, a pious man, all I needed to was more money, to 
do more good works.  Though I prayed and prayed, why didn't you ever let 
me win the lottery, instead of all those sinners.


God gently replied: Murry, did you ever buy a ticket?

I guess I can understand that these students found past winners to be
banal and uninspiring, but I disagree with their method of protesting
- even though I personally don't like photography (or any art)
competitions, I respect those that do - it's a personal choice, isn't
it?  And the action of these young people may only serve to bring that
competition to an end.  That is certainly disrespectful to the real
entrants.  If they didn't like what was going on, they should have
just ignored it and not participated in any way.

cheers,
frank

 Along similar lines, a number of years ago a friend of mine

 that is pretty much something to be avoided... and is still 
 around , I think. ... this was pre internet...  . As a lark, 
 he entered a poem he wrote... and ended 
 up with one of the very few prizes - $50.00 .   I think it
 was in standard sonnet form or close to it - each line was a 
 line of poetry from a different famous poem.
 

That's a good idea - it would deserve to win! Postmodern sonnets

Well, the fact that they were staged and good is the point: They
couldn't create photos that good if they didn't stage them. As for
previous winners being uninspiring, you have to take into account
that the judges can only pick winners from among those who've entered
-  and sometimes the entries just aren't that good. Many times Doug
and I have been judging the GFM photo contest and found nothing
particularly worthy in one category. But we still have to pick a
winner!

I think the protest claim is BS: If they'd really wanted to protest
they'd have entered honestly and out-done the other entrants. By
resorting to cheating they demonstrated the opposite of what they
claimed. They demonstrated that the other entrants were too good to
beat *without* cheating!

I've stayed in places like that when I was younger. There was a place I went
to a few times with a gf which was on the rue Quincampoix, just a few steps
from the Hotel de Ville. The street used to be full of brothels many years
before, and Kertesz and/or Brassai photographed les putes there.

Such hotels don't seem to exist any more. Either that or my tolerance for
them has diminished as my income has increased.

 Wish I could join you. Street shooting in Paris would be fun.
 

I wish you could too - it would be fun.

 We could have formed a sub-group by the sound of it :-)

I was there from April 28 to May 1st, and the 19 and 20 of May.

Yep, it would have been fun to get together (it doesn't look like our
dates coincided, though)  One of the great things of this and other

had a great time in Rome with Flavio and in Napoli with Gianfranco,
some quite fine folks they are.
