SCENES OF LIFE

So loving this photo series entitled Scenes of Life

by Lucie & Simon ....

" Lucie & Simon’s projects are conceived as a series of photographs which all outsmart our perception of reality by staging a quirky view of daily life from urban or family solitude to existential wanderings, their compositions capture different moods of man’s silent melancholy, focusing on the narrow chink between our existence and the world of dreams. In an enigmatic universe rekindling the memory of Edward Hopper’s paintings, each character seems totally absorbed by the timelessness of dreams "......

SATURDAY IN PARIS

So loving these photos from BODIE and FOU's Saturday in Paris .....

 Merci were celebrating Japan with beautiful displays .....

 

they strolled around the mens department ....

 checked out the gorgeous linens for Karine's London home ....

 

had a drink at the Merci Cafe ....

 watched people coming and going .....
 made a trip to Bonton and finished at Zadig & Voltaire
.... sounds pretty good to me,
I miss Paris  !!!

FACITY

FACITY is an online photo project showing different portraits from cities all around the world on a daily basis .....

it is based on a very strict aesthetic concept, one rule is that smiling in front of the camera is strictly forbidden .....

 they want to show faces in a way they are not often seen, close, direct and natural ....

.... which I think they have achieved perfectly.

INSIDE OUT PROJECT

 I so love The Inside Out Project ... especially this one in Park Slope Brooklyn .....

led by a resident, Dana Eskelson, who was concerned that the local shopkeepers were being forced out of business by the Atlantic Yards stadium project a block away, neighbors on Bergen Street became the first group in New York to join a global art project developed by a Paris street artist known as JR. 

  The images of 11 immigrant shopkeepers who work in the neighborhood were displayed on 36-by-48-inch black-and-white photographs cut horizontally and displayed on the steps of various brownstones.
