Moan
On
Taken just round the corner
from Montmartre, you know, the Sacré Coeur and all that, the
ponderously famous artists' Mecca, where the Mona Lisa,
the world's best-known painting was, in fact, almost 500 years
TO THE DAY, actually, err, not painted, but never mind,
Madonna L is everywhere in Paris, including
painted-being-painted in a kind of cartoony style on the side of
a carousel hoarding, and why not?
Aesthetically, I'm really not sure about this shot. The two
items, the painting and the merry-go-round seem rather disparate
and it's not a good idea to have to opposing elements in the
same frame, but eliminating one of them here would have left a
blandish scene with no context.
So, while not being convinced that they particularly complement
each other, the green pole in the middle seeming to delineate
two entirely different photos, that was the scene that was, and
so it shall remain. |
