Gontcha · **Posted:** May 11th, 2008, 3:03 pm

Okay, so about 170 people of our year/grade went to paris. This is my oh so little photo comntibution to it (Batteries died every 20 minutes, 1gb is not enough for 10MP photos, annoying french guys telling you that flash isn't allowed, etc). This is just a fraction of what we've shot and seen, I have about the same quantuty of pics on my friend's memsticks, I'll upload em later. Anyways, Enjoy.

Oh wow. It looks like you had fun.

Sworder · **Posted:** May 11th, 2008, 3:43 pm

LOT OF PICS. That looked like fun. I want to go there.

That guy in the glasses (in the middle) looks like Brandt. O.o

Looks like you had a great time! I think I owe the city of Paris at least €10 for jumping the fare-gates at their underground. (I ran out of tickets!)

I like the rosy cheeked streaker who's just burst in the room at the last second, just in time for the photo.

Okay, so the man is Jan Fabre, actually a plastic copy of himself. The painting is done by Jan van Eyck (I think); one of the Flemmish primitives, very traditional. There is a saying in dutch, translated : To run in with your nose into something, meaning being stopped, to be confined. Jan Fabre thinks he can never get away from this classical tradition of painters, or at least he tries to be more original. So he smashes his nose on a traditional painting. Sorry for bad explanation, I just woke up from an evening nap.

Btw, creepy, you just hit it spot on, that guy was another cameraman, right intime for the shot.

Pretty interesting! Kind of funny that they've got their old military cannons displayed. One little thing that most people don't know..They're brand new, never fired :lol:

I'd like to go through the Louvre sometime. Probably wouldn't spend too much time at a few of those exhibits, but I'll worry about that if I ever go :wink:

If you want to see the whole louvre, you'll need to go live in there for a week or two, it's gigantic...
And mona lisa isn't so special, you can't even see it properly, because you have to stay clear a meter of five, and there are plenty of Asians willing to bite your leg off just to advance.
