Boy, talk about your photos of ruins! That spectator....

[grashupfer.livejournal.com]

His whole life is written in his face.

[lapsedmodernist.livejournal.com]

what is his life, do you think?

[grashupfer.livejournal.com]

If only I could read faces. I'd like to know.

[lapsedmodernist.livejournal.com]

you think he is ruined? He looks like an i-Banker from New York, only French...

Huh. I never even noticed the spectator. Le Monde in one hand, a cigarette in the other - it's like he too was sent from Central Casting.

[lapsedmodernist.livejournal.com]

I know! I kept thinking of your comment about central casting as I was looking at these.

This is excellent as a series: the occasional face looking at the camera, then ending with the contrast of the spectator.

thank you!

I saw these guys the last time I was in Paris too.

[lapsedmodernist.livejournal.com]

these very ones?

[pdanielson.livejournal.com]

Well, the generic version of "those guys," the ones who play bocce in the sand at the parks not far from the Louvre. Although it's highly possible some of them were the same - they seemed like a pretty permanent fixture in that spot.

The bowler's expression in the fourth photo totally makes it.
