Paris Mon Amour by Jean-Claude Gautrand Pdf

Le Flaneur, the turn-of-the-century French term for the urban stroller, the street wanderer -- an intellectual with plenty of leisure time to idly traverse the byways of the city, drifting from one quarter to another, making discoveries, meeting old acquaintances, making new ones. It remains the best way to see Paris. This volume of photography is a memoir of numerous walks through the French capital by some great photographers, who set out, like le flaneur, to capture by chance something they had never seen before. These images map and re-map the desired paths and favourite landmarks of one of the most photographed cities in the world, reprinting classic shots from the last two hundred years -- right up to the present day. They poignantly evoke the bars, the cafes, the architecture, the parks and, of course, the vibrancy of the people. Turning the pages is like taking a walk through the history of the city, noting the changes and those elements that are forever Paris -- the tree-lined boulevards, the dimly lit bistros, the narrow passages, and the banks of the River Seine.

Paris Mon Amour by Cynthia Inniss Pdf

Paris Mon Amour by Vlado Baca Pdf

When I travel the world my camera accompanies me everywhere I go. The first time I visited the city of Paris was in 1985. During my relatively brief but intense stay I took a lot of shots, as an enthusiastic photographer, who first got behind the "Iron Curtain". My dream had come true, I eagerly devoured with all my senses the atmosphere of this amazing city. I mostly captured people who were enjoying themselves at a leisurely pace, lovers in the park, people on the banks of the Seine, groups of people chatting in small cafes. I was enchanted by the atmosphere of the big city, which I had never experienced before, the apparent carefree attitude of the people with whom I encountered. The smiling saleswoman at Gallery Lafayette with luxury goods in contrast with the market in St. Ouen, where you can buy anything, from the cheapest trinkets to antique furniture. Since then I have visited Paris many times as well as other world metropolises, each of which has its own unique soul floating through the air. However, Paris is the place that inspired me most. Paris remains forever in my heart.My love, Paris. Mon amour, Paris.

Paris mon amour by Jean-Claude Gautrand Pdf

" Un éclair... puis la nuit ! - Fugitive beauté dont le regard m'a fait soudainement renaître, ne te verrai-je plus que dans l'éternité " écrit Baudelaire " A une Passante ", un des plus célèbre " Tableaux parisiens " de ce poète qui recherchait la ville et ses spectacles pour apaiser son spleen. Mais tant d'autres ont su, avec lui, exprimer par les mots l'atmosphère de la " fourmillante cité, cité pleine de rêves ". Capitale cosmopolite, lieu privilégié des flâneries et balades, à la fois chargée d'histoire et symbole des temps modernes - Paris a depuis toujours marqué l'œuvre des peintres, des poètes et des écrivains. Mais la " reine du monde " de Verlaine est aussi le berceau et la muse d'un art relativement jeune, la photographie. Des tout premiers débuts de la daguerréotypie à nos jours, de nombreux photographes comme Joseph Nicéphore Niepce, Henri Cartier-Bresson, Robert Doisneau ou Jeanloup Sieff ont vécu dans la Ville des Lumières et ont fixé ses différents visages sur la pellicule. Au fil du temps, un lien passionnel s'est forgé entre Paris et les photographes, et ses fruits nous permettent aujourd'hui de contempler à la fois l'histoire de la capitale et celle d'une expression artistique alors inédite. Les " poètes de la lumière " montrent ici leur sensibilité particulière pour les paysages architecturaux et la vie de la rue, où l'espace d' " un éclair " - se croisent sans cesse des destins anonymes. Dans leurs instantanés, ils réussissent à fixer ces moments fugitifs chers à Prévert ou l'éternel recommencement baudelairien, devenant ainsi les chroniqueurs d'une ville qui tient sous son charme tous ceux qui y vivent ou la découvrent et qui " s'en vont et reviennent toujours ". Le présent volume rassemble de nombreuses promenades en photos à travers Paris. Deux siècles durant, de grands photographes ont fixé en noir et blanc des scènes dramatiques ou sereines, mémorables ou banales dans les parcs et les jardins, les boulevards et les ruelles, les galeries et les arcades, les bistrots et les palais du plaisir. Une déclaration d'amour à la plus belle ville du monde.

Disaster Mon Amour by David Thomson Pdf

As anyone in the news business knows, audiences swell with the scale of disaster; humans have always been drawn to the rumors of our own demise. In this darkly comic book, noted film historian David Thomson examines iconic disasters, both real and fictional, exposing the slippage between what occurs and what we observe. Demonstrating how disasters become yet another commodity for our consumption, Thomson shows how digital culture sates our desire to witness chaos while suffering none of its aftereffects. Through classic movies such as San Andreas; eyewitness responses to real disasters such as the Aberfan coal mining disaster and the coronavirus pandemic; and media portrayals of disasters throughout history, Thomson pulls back the curtain to reveal why we love watching disaster unfold--but only if it happens to others.

New Orleans, Mon Amour by Andrei Codrescu Pdf

For two decades NPR commentator Andrei Codrescu has been living in and writing about his adopted city, where, as he puts it, the official language is dreams. How apt that a refugee born in Transylvania found his home in a place where vampires roam the streets and voodoo queens live around the corner; where cemeteries are the most popular picnic spots, the ghosts of poets, prostitutes, and pirates are palpable, and in the French Quarter, no one ever sleeps. Codrescu's essays have been called "satirical gems," "subversive," "sardonic and stunning," "funny," "gonzo," "wittily poignant," and "perverse"—here is a writer who perfectly mirrors the wild, voluptuous, bohemian character of New Orleans itself. This retrospective follows him from newcomer to near native: first seduced by the lush banana trees in his backyard and the sensual aroma of coffee at the café down the block, Codrescu soon becomes a Window Gang regular at the infamous bar Molly's on Decatur, does a stint as King of Krewe de Vieux Carré at Mardi Gras, befriends artists, musicians, and eccentrics, and exposes the city’s underbelly of corruption, warning presciently about the lack of planning for floods in a city high on its own insouciance. Alas, as we all now know, Paradise is lost. New Orleans, Mon Amour is an epic love song, a clear-eyed elegy, a cultural celebration, and a thank-you note to New Orleans in its Golden Age.

Mon Amour, Friend Or Foe by Elizabeth Pye Pdf

It is 1939 and eighteen-year-old American Paulette Rousseau arrives in Paris to study at the Sorbonne and to pursue an independent and happier future away from her self-absorbed parents. Her prayers appear answered when handsome and charismatic Guy de Laval invites her to join a chemistry study group he tutors. But when Guy asks her to join the French Resistance in May of 1940, she questions whether she can live up to his expectations; but, if she wants to garner his respect and love, she feels she must accept. Her work takes her to the American Hospital to nurse injured Allied airmen, and later to Guy's safe house to harbor injured airmen and others while Guy is gone weeks at a time on secret missions. When she is arrested and imprisoned by the Nazis while he is on one of his mysterious absences-absences he refuses to discuss with her-she begins to question whether he is on her side. She suffers brutal treatment and near starvation until the smitten German Colonel Lorenz Dietrich releases her with a dire warning not to harbor Jews or political fugitives again. He suggests that de Laval is not what he seems and is exploiting her infatuation; rather, he, Lorenz, is the one who cares about her well-being. Is Paulette's love for and instinct to trust Guy enough protection from the dark forces that surround her?

13 Paris Mon Amour by Arya Bahram Pdf

What is art photography? First of all sorry for my english, I am persian !! I have to say this is really a question that is not so easy to answer There are examples of photos that have been made completely without claiming to be art and that are traded as such, Pictures, of which not even the photographer is known. It is very important that the photographer for himself has an idea of Art Photos, and even if he goes with his camera out, hoping for a good photo, but he has a frame operation for his work When I come home with many photos, begins the work, which means I ask myself: Is this an art photo and fit my working frame Operation What are my personal works frames Operation Details, people movement, creativity, conscious action, willing to take random image The question I ask myself is: Could it be that viewers would regret it if they had not seen this or it would not matter to them if they regret it, then the image belongs to my book. It is also since the beginning of the art always a bone of contention what art is. The Answers have unlimited space for interpretations. I think also in terms of art are photos like music and painting! Some like it and others do not! As with the music! What varied and exciting makes the whole thing so well! And always looking for something to watch again! Perhaps art is to produce the conscious application of creative imagination and craft skills to aesthetic objects such as picture or sculpture. 'Conscious' means that a Random product is not art 'Creative' means a copy is not art. 'Craft' means the arts and crafts are complementary. 'Aesthetic' means that the product is beautiful. This definition is probably not for everyone but for me creates clarity Copy a photo, painting or sculpture, is not as copies of writings possible (except, someone wants to copy a Tolstoy book!!) When I write a sentence and millions of other people agree with this statement, for example this sentence: A copy of the hare, (a watercolor by Albrecht Durer) is nice, but only the original is Art This sentence is not a copy, but an image or music or photo can not be copied because it is a person and creativity behind it, From nothing, now by the artist something exists, whether a picture or song or photo. Creativity is really a key word. I remember when I was in Prague and Budapest and wanted pictures of craftsmanship (Glass and wooden toys) make that were behind glass cabinets, first automatically and instinctively you would think on this issue to a polarizing filter, as this reflection on nonmetallic surfaces (so can also suppress on glass). Avoid for reflections on glass panes But I asked myself, why actually with polarizing filter? What's bad about that once viewer sees how a picture would look without polarizing filter? Not only see objects, but also passers-by on the street and the photographer himself, but all in a photo!! And i did it I made these photos without polarizing filter and I believe have become beautiful photos. An artistic work has been deliberately created"
