Picture of the Week #431 "Eavesdropping on a Drawing" Paris, France 1994 Signed & Stamped

I love taking pictures and I especially love taking them in Museums. Here's one I took in the Louvre and loved the interplay between the inquisitive statue and the living artist absorbed in her work. Not to mention the lighting. It all worked in my favor. One day I will do a book of images from Museums, and I also want to do one on Churches from around the world. For a born again Agnostic I visit more Churches than most devout Christians. But don't let me digress, this is about people in Museums. 

Picture of the Week #430 "On three ... " Bangkok, Thailand 1989 Signed & Stamped

As usual I couldn't resist taking this picture. I have been focusing in more and more on "Pictures That Make You Smile" and working towards a show and a book and this fit right in. Obviously my titles add to the humor as I think it does here. This unsuspecting woman sitting there not realizing the sculptures were looking at her with rifles in their hands. I hope it makes you smile.

Picture of the Week #429 "Hop Scotch Heat" Santa Monica, California 2017 Signed & Stamped

While still recouping from the terrible flu and a  month later stomach poisoning that I have been going through since January 2nd and today is February 13th, I'm was fed up with this feeling as I'm constantly tired and chilled. I am hoping that I am in the last throws of this dreaded epidemic that so many of my friends have been going through. So, when I was feeling slightly better yesterday my gorgeous wife Ann and I decided to walk along the pathway above the beach in Santa Monica. As I was shooting the sailboats I noticed beneath me someone walking with what I thought was a head scarf. I quickly grabbed the shot and that was it. When I got home I noticed that the person wasn't wearing a scarf but had a towel draped over their head as they had probably just come back from jogging. And as luck would have it I framed this shot perfectly to align with the graphics of the sun splashing on the walk. I don't think I could have planned it better.

Picture of the Week #428 "You're Some Tomato" Los Angeles,  CA  2014 Signed & Stamped

I thought I I took this picture when we were in the South of France sometime in 2009 or 2010 or even 2011. But when I found the original file I noticed that it was taken in 2014 here in Los Angeles. There is obviously something erotic, and even phallic in this image. I also think it's funny. Definitely one for my "Pictures That You Smile" series. No matter where I took this, it still elicits a smile.
