The Tuileries

Posted by Ian Bramham (Manchester, United Kingdom) on 31 August 2008 in Cityscape & Urban and Portfolio.

A view from the Tuileries gardens on a wet and miserable day looking back towards La Place de la Concorde marked by it's ancient egyptian obelisk.

Despite the bad weather I was feeling particularly happy that afternoon having just come out of a fantastic exhibition of Richard Avedon's photos at the nearby Galerie Nationale du Jeu de Paume - what a fantastic and moving photographer he was.

For purchasing high quality archival prints of any of these photos you can send me an email by clicking here or by going to MY NEW WEBSITE where prices are listed in the gallery sections under each individual photo.

Links to the websites of other photographers whose work I love and who have all helped me enormously over a long period of time. I find the work of all 3 to be inspirational.

This is very successful. The ripples of wet paving lead the eye and then you notice the people and backdrop. It really suit B&W also. I think you had been inspired by the exhibition.
