The Thing About Paris -- Beautiful & Brutal

From 40 Days in Paris, 2 year ago, Read 0 times. Similar articles

"People come to Paris to work out something, to try a dream that may very well have failed at home. They believe they can either forget themselves, or find themselves...it was these extremes I wanted to explore, margins where cultures and beliefs collide. That's the thing about Paris: you may not be changed in the way you dreamed of, but you will certainly be altered...[Paris is] a city that is both beautiful and brutal"-- Lauren B. Davis, on The Radiant City Read more

These photos, taken during the French Open at Roland Garros yesterday, seem to suggest that French players have introduced some peculiar new moves to their game. But, don't be alarmed. I'm sure these hijinks are the product of a camera's shutter opening and closing at just the right (or wrong?) time. Marc Gicquel (top) appears to be playing futbol... Read more

Living so far away has allowed me a different lens through which to view my home country; I have learned a lot about the way Americans are perceived both good and bad. To view the election from half way around the world, surrounded by non-Americans, was a particularly special vantage point and was an experience I will certainly never forget.Not only was it a historical day in American history, it was a day that I'll never forget personally for the indelible effect it had on my patriotism....

photo from hereIf I didn't know any better, I would have this guy pegged for a Kiwi based on the photo.
