La Reflection-teria (Weekend Reflections # 279)

Florence, Italy                               at night


This woman was too interested in the gelato to notice the two reflections right next to her. Reflected advertisements for Carrera and Fendi sunglasses. Unfortunately for her the gelato shop was already closed.

I hope you have an excellent weekend!

Home Away From Home (Weekend Reflections # 278)

Paris, France                           Galerie de Montpensier      

Maybe it's not one of my best reflections, but it sure brings back good memories for me. This shot was taken from inside of the apartment where my wife and I have stayed the most during our trips to Paris. Including or first and our most recent trip.
The reflections are on the door and on a glass coffee table that I pushed into the doorway.  Why do I like staying here? Well, I love le jardin du Palais-Royal, and as you can see, I only need to open the door to be there.

Have a great weekend!

Model and "mini-model" (Weekend Reflections # 276)

Versailles, France

I thought about posting a somber black and white reflection of Paris but I decided against it.  

I feel a real connection with France and especially Paris. The horrible acts of terrorism this week made me sad and angry. I hope strong measures are taken to insure the safety and freedom of French citizens as this cultural war continues.
Aux armes, citoyens!


As I mentioned last week, I was caught in the act photographing a reflection. This is an advertisement and its reflection is in the corner of a bus shelter. I like how the bright lights and colors seem to jump out of the darkness.

This is from Cielquimper's December 10th blog post:  "The (same as usual) lights on rue de la Paroisse and the silhouette of James the photographer taking what will hopefully be a cool reflection photo!"

Smoking in the Window (Weekend Reflections # 275)

Versailles, France

Can you see the reflection? 
You should be able to because this photo is 100% reflection. :-) 
Everything you see here was across the street and behind me but reflected in a store window in front of me. 

I love Versailles! My wife and I spent a wonderful afternoon and evening there with Madame VDP. If you haven't seen VDP's excellent blog you should check it out! Versailles Daily Photo

As far as I know VDP is the only person who has taken a picture of me while I was taking a picture for Weekend Reflections. I'll share that picture next week.

Happy New Year!!!
