Thank you. I'm thinking of setting up a professional account to upload my Europe pictures onto. . . I took over 600 in 12 days--and my camera was out with battery trouble at least 3 times.Seareach wrote:Wow! Love the bell tower! You've definitely got an "eye" Lyr!!!

Any requests for the next picture? Buildings? Statues? Landscape? More phallic symbols?

you're more advanced than a cockroach,
have you ever tried explaining yourself
to one of them?

i've had this with actors before, on the set,
where they get upset about the [size of my]
trailer, and i'm always like...take my trailer,
cause... i'm from Kentucky
and that's not what we brag about.

This is the famous Pompidou Center in Paris. As you can see, all of the electrical, mechanical, ductwork, etc. fittings are ran on the outside of the building. It is a museum of modern art.

Fittingly, this is one view of the fountains outside the Pompidou Center.

Finally, this was right outside the center. Incidentally, this was also adjacent to the stairs leading to the parking garage where I GOT LOST. ON MY FIRST DAY. IN PARIS. WITHOUT THE PHONE NUMBER OF OUR GUIDE. But that is a story for another time, as I have to get to bed now. Enjoy.

ahhh i've got a GREAT photo of my husband at the Pompidou Center fountain!!!! it's a where's waldo thing i lined up in the big treble clef in the fountain.
i swear i'll dig it out tomorrow
urg. prints.

Cowboy: Why you doin' this, Doc?
Doc Holliday: Because Wyatt Earp is my friend.
Cowboy: Friend? Hell, I got lots of friends.
Doc Holliday: ... I don't.

This is the bell tower of Il Duomo in Florence (Firenze) Italy.
I think these are a little on the big size. . . I'll make the next ones smaller.

I have one almost exactly the same

Okay, another shallow scenic shot: 

Nah, scenic stuff isn't mandatory. Nothing wrong with documentary-type pictures that record particular events. I haven't trained my eyes to take photos that tell a story in a social or political context. I'm also not comfortable about taking pictures of people. Heh, I'll let photojournalists and others capture the "human drama." For now, anyway.Avatar wrote:Matrixman wrote:And, yay, at last the first pic by Avatar...why am I somehow not surprised that it has a sociopolitical bent?I'll bring some scenic shots next time MM.
