As I wrote in March, I launched a new Instagram account @literal_streetart and it’s going very well.
I post a daily photo that I took looking down at the sidewalk.
Here are some of the photos from the last month.
If you still haven’t followed me on Instagram yet, here are my handles.

In fact. I've received so many more photos, that I am going to do a Segment 3, next Tuesday, May 26.
I have another challenge up my sleeve, along the lines of this, which I will post soon.
Click here to look at Segment 1 photos.
Above photo is by Meredith Mullins- I thought this one of the Eiffel Tower in celebration was a nice tribute to de-confinement.
Edward Daniels- Sept. 2008 Montmartre at night.My wife and I loved to go to Paris, having gone numerous times but she died in April of 2008. I returned with two of my daughters in early September to show them the City that my wife had loved. While walking late at night in Montmartre, I snapped this photo...after looking at it later, I realized someone was moving in the photo and it looks like a ghost....so the folklore became that my wife was walking with us! Love this night shot of The Hill!
Maxine Gaiber-Paris pre-social distancing. Montmartre wine harvest festival October 2018. Represents the best of Paris—history, art, architecture, a vibrant present, joie de vivre!
Tim Morales-Here is one of my favorite Paris photos taken January 16, 2016 at 11:14am. I was on a river boat on the Seine when I took this photo using my iphone. This originally not one of my favorites, but with the fire that destroyed Notre Dame, it has become nostalgic for me as it was my first impression of the cathedral which I was in awe of. The stained glass windows, the stone carvings, the flying buttress's, the enormity of the place, all wonderful memories which this picture stirs for me.
Linda Goldman-Favorite picture of the city of love
Joseph Lembo-with Vincent Gagliostro at Palais Royal
George Marcelle-I took this in August 2008 on the Square du Vert Galant, very quickly bending over with my little pocket point-and-shoot to capture this business man on his lunch break napping over a magazine. I call It “Red Socks,” of course.
Jackie Vasey-This picture was taken 4 yrs ago already!! We rented an apartment on the Rue Des Martyrs for the month of October and took the Metro everywhere... As this photo clearly shows...we had the time if our lives!!
Dan Evans-Here is my favorite photo of Paris: The Point Zero Stone in front of Notre Dame Cathedral. The photo shows me kneeling vowing to the stone that someday I will start from this very point and walk to Santiago de Compostela. This photo was in 2013 and photographed by LuLu LoLo.
Jeanne Govert- My friend, Suzie Genelin, wife of Michael, was a good photographer and I wanted a photo of myself in Paris that looked like one of those old postcards. We spent the day at various cafes while she stepped across the street to snap the pics without my actually posing. We even went to a TABAC and bought cigarettes, though neither of us smoked!
LuLu LoLo- I love this photo of me riding in a Citroën 2CV deux chevaux from 2013 in the 17th. I have always loved a deux chevaux. One day to my complete surprise my friend Christelle Das Neves said to me would you like to ride in a deux chevaux! I had no idea that her and her husband Raphael Confino owned a deux chevaux! Christelle took me for a great ride around Paris.
Shirley Kern- This photo was taken in August 2012 during my first trip to Paris. I believe that this is the Pont des Arts pedestrian "Locks of Love" bridge. I just love the colors and the memories that this photo exhibits.
Lois Howes- A picture that I took standing by the wall next to the Trocadero of the Eiffel Tower.
Del Lancaster- On the second to last day of our Paris trip, my friend and I were on our way to Musee d’Orsay when we arrived at a traffic light. These delightful young men were also waiting to cross the street. I thought this would be a fun photo to enter as the subject matter certainly brightened the day for two old American broads!
Betty Gray-My favorite photo - Notre Dame Christmas tree.
Vicki Newton-This materialized during an annual photo shoot of the architectural iron and windows in front of the houses of haute couture on Avenue Montaigne, Fall 2016. The exterior joined the perspective of the interior.

The above photo was sent by Jerome Deligny.
I was walking in Paris, to test the camera of my new phone.The picture was taken from the pont des arts, with a view on the île de la cité. The young woman is a stranger, but she, and the color of her dress, fits perfectly with the tag "love" on the bridge.
Bernarda Septier- Photo taken from my flat in bd de Magenta February 18, 2018
Deb Kanter- from 2017-Another time in Paris. She will return.
Vickie Austin- I took this photo in the Jardin du Luxembourg on one of my many park lunches there in August 2010. My mother had died in 2009 and I was still healing from her death. Also, I was newly committed to “living in Paris,” something I’d always wanted to do but didn’t see my way clear to make it happen. There’s something about losing a loved one that reinforces the fragility of life and the urgency to “get on with it.” Carpe Diem. So I rented an apartment from a friend of a friend who lives in Evanston, IL, and took the month of August to live in Paris in the 13tharrondissement. Family visited and a friend came, too, but it was my own journey, a sabbatical of sorts to make up for missing my junior year abroad. I got married instead.
Linda Spalla- Bernie’s 80th birthday celebration in November, 2019 at Les Ombres in Paris. Family and friends from all over the world!
