 Sketch
Me Paris
Place du Tertre is, perhaps, the
eighth wonder of the world. Artists scribbling and enscribing away like
there's no tomorrow... it's marvellous to behold, I assure you.
Personally, I've never had my portrait painted, and as I grow older, to
be quite honest, I think that occurrence is becoming less and less
likely. Maybe I don't want to see what I see in the mirror! Even if I
have an entire section on my site devoted to self portraits! Weird.
This is a lovely shot of a girl having her portrait drawn under heavy
incandescent (street) lights (which you may want to compensate for on
your camera setting, but I don't).
I love the moment captured. This moment will never happen again. It's a
beautiful soft look she's giving the artist or her family or the
on-lookers... You can imagine what sort of person she is. And then there
is the artist, present in two ways, by his hand and by his creation,
immortalising this young girl by his craft.
Don't forget your camera! |
