French Beauty at the Louvre Museum Paris - John Brody Photography

No Hottie Comments Please! This lovely girl was an absolute French Doll. I met her in the Louvre Museum in Paris when we were both looking at the Venus de Milo statue. After a little talking with her with her English speaking friends who helping translate, I asked if I could take a few photos we would share, and she liked the idea. Surprisingly shy, I snapped off a few in our mini photo shoot before the inevitable happened: A crowd gathered, she turned red in the face, laughed and then hid behind me - Very shy. By then, nobody was looking at the Venus de Milo stature she was standing next to, just her.  Paris, France - JohnBrody.com - JohnBrody.blogspot.com

Simple shot that I like and I don't know why... Probably all the photos I've seen by many of the great French photographers on the same subject... JohnBrody.com

Artist at Sacre Coeur Concentrates On His Work - JohnBrody.com

This gents intense focus caught my eye, but his subjects were interesting as well. It seemed he was a French speaking Aussie artist who was sketching two girls, one a Muslim girl with a strong British accent, the other had classic Swedish features but it seemed Spanish was her native language. They bounce between languages when talking to waiting friends and then to English which seemed to be their common ground – good for me, I’m sad to admit, because that’s all I speak. The scene was a mix worthy of a United Nations poster – A fun crowd too. I couldn’t get a photo of the whole group – a wall of people appeared between us when I stepped back far enough to get them all in a photo - JohnBrody.com
