Picture of the Week #231 "Tri Skull"  Cannes, France 2013 Signed and Stamped

When I was in Cannes and I was stalking the streets for images, I came across this faux diamond encrusted skull in a store window. As there were side windows as well I was able to capture it from three sides. Something different than Damian Hirst's view. I placed all three together for this Picture of the Week. I'm usually not into dark images or skulls, but this one was so graphic and happening that I decided to post it.

Picture of the Week #230 "Tin-Tin Tower Tour" Paris, France 2013 Signed and Stamped

Okay this was manipulated. Tin-Tin was in a shop window while the Tower obviously wasn't. When I was shooting the tower I kept thinking about what would make people smile. And when I went home and started going through my recent pictures I saw the one of Tin-Tin in a shop window. After playing with both images for a few hours, I finally came up with this composite. I think it works.

Picture of the Week #229 "Drained" Paris, France 2013 Signed and Stamped

Even the sewers of Paris are filled with artistic statements. Crossing rue des Rennes in the sixth arrondissement I came across this street art statement the other night. At first I thought it might be too gruesome then saw the humor of it.

Picture of the Week #228 "A Kiss Awaits You"  Padua, Italy 2013 Signed and Stamped

While going through from Zagreb Croatia to visit a friend in Amelia Italy, we stopped off for the night at the newly redone Hotel Milano in Padua Italy. Our room was on the fourth floor and when I looked down I could see this unique wrought iron sofa in the shape of lips just off the ground floor lobby. I had to have a picture. The title came to me immediately... A Kiss Awaits You. And there you have it. By the way, Padua is a great little city that is filled with vibrant shops and markets. I only wish we had more time. We will go back.
