Favorite Place on Rue St. Dominique and Summer Exhibit

A favorite little spot I just had to share. 

Am missing Paris these days

and wishing I'd been there for the Paris Plage this summer

and ohh-so-many-other-things! 

If I were there now,

I'd hop on over to the Parisienne en Ete vintage photography exhibition

at the Docks en Seine (until October 6th)~ 

48 Black and Whites of Paris in the summertime 

taken between 1880 and 1960 

by Boris Liptnitzki and Henri Roger of the Viollet-Roger Agency.

It's a free and outdoor gallery along the Quai d'Austerlitz.

And then... I'd go take a few summer shots of my own.

Art Wolfe's Travels to the Edge~Travelin' Tuesday

If any of you have watched Art Wolfe's 'Travels to the Edge' program on PBS, you know what a phenomenal photographer he is. Recently watching one of his shows (in Iceland) left my mouth falling open in waves of awe. It wasn't just the ice formations but the way he knows how to find the perfect hues and plays of light, the perfect angle and framing. It's almost as if the universe opens itself up to him, dressing up in its most majestic costume and giving a one-man audience.

I wish I could post some of his photographs here to wow you but don't have permission to do that so will leave you with his website address here and some of his prints here.

Those of you who are local (in Oregon) should know that Art will be speaking at the Portland Art Museum in the Kridel Ballroom on Saturday October 2nd at 2pm. Tickets are $45 each. Click here to purchase tickets.

I wonder if he teaches classes?
