On the last day of Photoquai 2011, an open-air exhibit along the Seine at Quai Branly, the dreary day was brightened by the nearly 400 photo images by 46 photographers from around the world. I met Vreni (Verenas Paris Blog and Vienna Daily Photo) and we enjoyed the afternoon strolling through this free exhibit.
The above by Sergei Loier, a 30-something Russian, was my favorite. As I remember, his models are all children from an orphanage, and by the time he concluded his photo project, all had been adopted.
What a treat to see this eclectic photo exhibit... on the very last day!

ReplyDeleteUne bien belle (et bien emouvante) collection, Genie. Hope your trip was everything you expected, and more... -- Veronique (French Girl in Seattle)
ReplyDeleteI can't think of a nicer way to spend the afternoon than strolling with a friend beside the river looking at such a brilliant selection of pictures. I hope you're enjoying your weekend Genie.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful post: the children, the photos, the story. And so nice that you got to spend time with a blog pal. Bon weekend, Genie!
ReplyDeleteIt's difficult to even walk down a street in Paris without coming face-to-face with some kind of exhibit.
ReplyDeleteI enlarged this to see the details. Very creative work here. What was that on the floor that looks like feathers or leaves or........?

It was a wonderful exhibit, and I believe that Paris is photo-focused in November with many festivals and exhibits.
ReplyDeleteVreni agrees that this one was quite nice and it was one of the few that really had a comforting story. The eclectic mix of the exhibit had some wonderful photos with depressing stories.
Virginia, I think that the "matter" on the floor is pillow or mattress stuffing but I could not be certain.
Thank you for the wonderful comments.
Bises,
