Basis of the Blog

This blog is an extension of Candid Captures. The intent, depending on the day, may be one of several different things. There will likely be entries directly related to a specific event that I was hired for, yet, there may be many entries just related to my personal photography or the equipment I use.

Hopefully there may be something here of interest to you and will peak your interest to check back every once in a while.

This photo has a story.... It's starts with Edyta and I heading out for a stroll one evening in Paris. We had already covered a lot of ground, mostly main streets , over the previous days. This time though, we decided to venture down some side streets. Sure seemed like a great idea. Actually, it's the side streets that have all the action, and that's exactly what we were looking for! Well on a walk down this very street about 45 minutes before, we walked the full lenght of the street and while doing so, passed by a lone suitcase leaning against a building. Edyta joked, saying the suit case was in better shape than my son Ryans and suggested "lets take it".. I QUICKLY grasp her arm, pull her close and with a stern voice say "you DON"T touch stray suitcases in alleys in Paris"... I think i got my point across. so I thought... After walking and doing a turn around to narrow in on a cool bar to get a drink at, sure enough, we pass the suitcase again.. Again, she jokes while making a quick move toward it.. again, i pull her back.. Of course, she was joking with me at this point.. We laugh. Just past that suit case, we find a nice little bar and settle in for a drink. Shortly after a police van pulls down the street, slowly... you see where this is going, right?

As so often is the case, the real picture is not so obvious. Here, a number of cafe patrons enjoy their espresso while admiring the view of the Eiffel Tower. As i turned around, after looking at it myself, I saw this. #eiffeltower #paris #cafe
