Busker, Sacre Coeur, Paris
Repost time – this busker, perched on pillar front of Sacré-Cœur Basilica, Paris was the start of my ongoing project to photograph buskers.

Polar Bear, Musee d’Orsay, Paris
Repost Wednesday! Pompon’s Polar Bear is one of my favourite sculptures – it’s stylised, but still instantly recognisable. And the incredible architectural setting of the Musee d’Orsay doesn’t hurt it either, especially from a photographic point of view.

Musee d’Orsay, Paris
A conversation with a friend reminded me that photography has been banned at the Musee d’Orsay for a couple of years now, which is a real shame, since this was one of my favourite museums for photography. This picture was taken before the ban, and sums up what I love about photographing museums – capturing the relationships between the building, the people and the art.
The cynic in me says this was mostly a move to protect the sales of the museum shop – but on the other hand, I have to acknowledge the increasing numbers of photographers who can’t obey simple ‘no flash’ rules probably had something to do with it as well.

At 4:30pm each day, the two American flags which fly over the Normandy American Cemetery and Memorial are lowered.

Repost: Arc de Triomphe
Arc de Triophe, Paris, France
I know it’s not the traditional view of the Arc de Triomphe, but this is how I remember it – looming overhead while the tourist bus recklessly plunged through the insane traffic which surrounds it.
Sails, La Defense, Paris
Sails, Grand Arch, La Defense, Paris
Hey guys, apologies for the lack of posts – looks like the autopost function is not so automatic right now! Have the picture that should have been posted a week ago while I try and get things sorted out 
A man stands under the sails of La Grande Arche de la Défense. The business district may not be on everyone’s must-see list when visiting Paris, but the architecture is incredible.

Mud Flats, Mont St Michel, France
Mud Flats, Mont St Michel, Normandy, France
On a cold, overcast day, the light playing over the mud flats surrounding Mont St Michel illuminates a simple, but subtly beautiful landscape.
