Rodez, late morning; January 8, 2010
Call it serendipity.
I was planning a post about photos today, and it's funny how one of my best online and real-life friends blogged on the same subject.
Unlike myself, Loulou has not experienced a drought of photography inspiration. More power to her.
Speaking of "power," I stumbled upon the joys of photography when my husband gave me a Canon PowerShot S45...a long time ago.
The model has apparently been around since 2002; I must have gotten mine shortly thereafter.
One of the many "weird places" in Rodez; January 8, 2010
When I was blogging at La France Profonde, I got into cropping my photos. For example, I would have cut out the mailbox and the whatever-it-is door-on-the-right from the above. But they're part of what I see; I think I'll be doing photo vérité from now on.
L'Hôtel du Cheval Blanc, Rodez; January 8, 2010
A long-standing American friend of mine has sipped various drinks there, and recently told me that if I wanted to go, he "should probably go with me."
Would anyplace in Rodez really be that daunting for me in broad daylight? I mean, it does have a Facebook page, after all.
At any rate, I hope I will make it before it closes down or is remodeled.
And I will try to take some photos.
I love that narrow little alley. Did we see that when I was there?
ReplyDeleteThere are a lot of photos that I discard because they either don't turn out or the image that I saw wasn't captured well on the camera. The beauty of digital!
I hope you start taking more.
@Loulou -- I rather doubt we saw it. It isn't that far from where we had that great hot chocolate, but I don't think I took you down that street.
ReplyDeleteCome back so we can eat at Chez Marie! She's re-opening after a holiday on January the 20th!
Betty, you have such an eye for photos - I have always enjoyed the way you capture shadows when you shoot scenes in Rodez. Your photos of the hospital a few years back really spoke to me.
ReplyDeletenot to be presumptive but check out jan phillips book "god at eye level: photography as a healing art" marvelous book as are your snaps!
ReplyDeleteIt is so nice to see pictures of Rodez again.
ReplyDeleteI hope the new Soulages museum will be nice and interesting.
@Mimi Thank you for the compliment. As I said, i don't think of myself as much of a photographer, but going digital really freed me up.
ReplyDelete@mouse Thanks for the suggestion. I've never really read about photography, but will look the book up and keep you posted.
@Nadège -- Don't worry, I've left la France Profonde behind but will never stop posting photos of Rodez. It's my favorite photo subject.
