From my blog today :
At its most transcendental level, landscape photography becomes an almost spiritual pursuit. Watching the elements of earth, sea and sky interact, you are confronted by higher powers whether you believe in a higher entity or science. To take this analogy a step further, does a person pray because they have faith or because they expect results? Is the success of a morning outing dependent on whether the photographer bagged a shot or not? What is the best measure of how good a workshop is? The number of images added to a portfolio. How much you learned? Or perhaps how much you enjoyed it?

My favourite shot from 2011. Woody Allen was right. Paris IS most beautiful in the rain.

Canon 5DMkII, 24-105mm 4L.

The details of backlit rain really need to be seen on the larger version on my website.

A few changes since I was here last year, presumably for the Christmas and NY celebrations.

Perhaps the most popular cafe in Paris and a prime spot for people watching. I shot this over lunch this afternoon while reading a book about Henri Cartier Bresson.

“Like moths, photographers are drawn to the lights of Place de la Concorde. They circle around the splashing fountains, trying to get the perfect shot. This they will then foist on dinner guests back home.”
Robert Doisneau 1962

My thoughts on copying, imitation and icons today on the blog.
