I took this picture below from one of "mon favourite" Paris blogs- PDP(paris daily photo) where Eric posts random Paris pics for the day. I am using an older one of his- from Nov 17 during Paris' transportation strike. Looks so calm here in black and white and one bicyclist on the Place de la Concorde. Contrast to my pics below of the hustle and bustle of the traffic and commotion.
I thought of pulling out some old Paris pictures today when my friend Jaimie told me last night that she was going to rent Paris Je T'aime... she asked my thoughts on it.
Couldn't quite express my passion to her for this film. Not only does it allow me to reminisce on the specific arrondissements, but the cast (Juilette Binoche, Maggie Gyllenhaal, Steve Buscemi, Natalie Portman, Gérard Depardieu... to name a few) is exceptional in their 5 minute stories of love. Some are heartbreaking, some are so visually sweet, (think Amelie or Big Fish-esque) that I will never, never erase the emotions or images from my mind. (Dirk's favorite is the mime "skit"- and you will see what I mean about the visual sweetness)
