I especially liked that too. I wished it had been more in focus but I needed the wide aperture so I had enough light to shoot. so...no depth of field..

Funny, isn't it. I love paris because the museums let you take photos. In the United States, they mostly do not!

yes, I know that "american paranoia"

It is stupid and irritating.. I never use flash in the museum... and just for spite, I always take photos anyway, secretly.

My son got stopped by police for photographing the Brooklyn Bridge in NYC.... he pointed out that you could go down to the corner and buy them already printed up from a local photographer.... they eased up... I think they were just checking to see if he seemed suspicious. I took photos in airports a lot...

That is great, she looks like she is posing for the camera. Brilliant.

I thought so too...or else she's annoyed that people are looking and photographing her! Either way, it's pretty fun.

It is way fun, she is like "do you mind?"

in french this kind of picture can be called : ยซ mise en abรฎme ยป.
It seems that all the world only exist to be seen through a camera, that nothing cannot exist whithout a camera, even the painting.

I love it when I learn a new french term or phrase. "mise en abime" Yes, that is what I thought... and I even got the idea of it being on a monitor in your home ... and that perhaps another person behind me was also taking a photo.

I dont how they say in english. But yes a mirror in a mirror in a mirrorโฆ
The most famous ยซ mise en abรฎme ยป painting is LesMenines of Velasquez. But you sure know it.
๐: 0 โฉ: 1
Yes, I do know that one. I love that painting! (I've never seen it in person...sigh..)
๐: 0 โฉ: 1
yes Les Menines are in the Prado. i never seen them too. But i've seen some variations painted after by Picasso. Beg you pardon for my strange english.

Your English is good. I wish my French was good enough to write in it. I try but it is very poor. I can read French fairly well though. there are photographers who have echoed the painting as well.

Whom photographers ?
Des photographes ? Lesquels ?
๐: 0 โฉ: 1
Peter Joel Witkin for one. I've even used parts of the image in a kind of collage format (rephotographed).

At first I thought, "Hey that's pretty clever." Then I saw how my monitor frames your image and I thought, "Crap, that's brilliant." I love to see media made malleable.
