Our visit to Paris was short but busy. Just before we caught our train, we went to the Doisneau exhibition, musee Maillol.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was absolutely heaving and you had to have booked in advance. To have some quiet time, and because we’re rebels, we did it in reverse so that we only hit the crowd on the last floor (the ground floor, which was the first for most people).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Inside, I liked the DIY solution for lighting with double layered sellotaped filters on projectors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That woman was looking at Doisneau photos on her phone in front of the real thing inside the Doisneau exhibition. Sometimes I wonder about people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When we came out, I saw a superfluity of nuns. It was spooky: it reminded me of Doisneau’s photo of nuns in front of a metro station<\/a> taken in the street only 1 stop away from where we were.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Doisneau took his photo at Sevres-Babylone, a block away from here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That guy was having a break outside a restaurant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Back on the subway, I was reminded of photos from the Canary Wharf photos of escalator<\/a>s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the subway, two guys were playing music. I was amused by how the guitar seemed to hit the left one in the face.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finally on the train home. Line overload.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nearly home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
