Paris In The Snow 2021-Series 1

The last time in snowed in Paris was March 2018, so when snow was predicted for last Saturday, I was ecstatic. While playing in the snow for most people consists of snowball fights, building snowmen, and snow sports, my idea of playing in the snow is taking photos. Some of my best and happiest photographic moments have been walking through the snow in parks, gardens, and squares, braving the cold, fighting the snow so it doesn’t sting my eyes, and balancing my camera so it doesn’t get wet. 

The snow started at about 11am, and lasted till about 3pm and unfortunately, it left as fast as it came, all but disappearing before 8pm. 

I first went to Place de la Concorde with my camera in tow, and then walked through the Tuileries all the way up to the Louvre. Surprisingly the park was crowded with people enjoying the rare snow day. I took a break for a quick lunch, regrouped, and went to the Place des Vosges. 

Today is series one of my snow photos. Let me know what you think. 

I want to thank everyone who watched my Live Facebook-Emily in Paris event last week, and I hope you enjoyed it.

Palais Royal & Louvre Photos-Series 1

It was a rare, clear and sunny day on Sunday, and while I was at the Palais Royal preparing for my Facebook Live Emily in Paris event this Wednesday, the late afternoon sun, light, and shadows was glorious. I hadn’t been taking much in the way of photos since Christmas, so it felt good to finally give my camera a workout. After I left the Palais Royal, I walked down rue de Rivoli facing the Louvre and there were some interesting reflections in the windows. I walked further down heading towards Hotel de Ville, and on the new La Samaritaine glass building and I discovered these really cool, distorted reflections of the old buildings. 

I would love your feedback on these. Which of these do you favor?

Literal Street Art – Musée D’Art Moderne de Paris

Last October, when there was a short break in between lockdowns, almost all the museums in Paris had reopened. 

I rushed to Chanel exhibit at the Palais Galliera, and after, I crossed the street to see the Sarah Moon photo exhibit at the Musée d’Art Moderne de Paris. 

It was a rainy day and as I exited the museum, the large plaza of marble stones in various colors and shapes were shiny from the rain. Something about them caught my eye, perhaps the glistening surfaces and textures of black, beige, and muted red and orange. Taking the photos at close range and also framing them into squares, diamonds, and rectangles, the texture of the black shapes reminded me of the all black, textural paintings of artist Pierre Soulages, one of my favorite artists. The configuration of the geometric shapes brought to mind the work of Mondrian, except in more faded tones. 

Which of these do you like best?
