musee de RODIN

Sunday afternoon photographing sculpture..........
I never thought that photographing sculpture could be such an ecstatic experience...and I never thought much about Rodin but there was something about this museum that brought these statues to life. It was kind of rainy today which kept most of the pesky tourists away making it so I could get solo shots of these incredible frozen moments in time, frozen again w/ my camera.

LES FRIGOS

This entire building are squatted studios. They had open studios this weekend. There are about 9 or 10 floors, and off of each floor are about 5-6 studios.

Flea Market at Porte de Clignancourt

I got in trouble several times for taking pictures in these shops...not sure what the proprietary situation is but I stressfully sneaked all of these. The lion picture was my first run-in with an unhappy shop owner who came over and shooed me away once she noticed what I was doing.  Another set of awesome pics I took of hundreds of paper soldiers had to be erased because the shop owner demanded I show her my camera and watched as I deleted them one by one. Otherwise they turned out preeeety good.

French for Dummies

Sage is so determined to learn French than any spare second he gets he has his nose in a french book.  This was while he was waiting for me to go to sleep.
